b in Constantinople. Here I would like to present an outline of the Byzantines under the Roman Emperors: this seems to me especially curious, reviving in memory the glory of the famous city.
The Romans divided Constantinople into fourteen parts. The first part was located on the first hill, on the site of the ancient Byzantines, which is now part of the Seraglio. The following were especially fascinating: the palace of Plakidi, the daughter of Emperor 9eodosia, the Arkadtev greenhouses (Tvegiez) and the column of the Empress Oeeodora. The second part was now included entirely in the Seraglio district: it was there, containing the Sultan’s palace kitchens and baths. It contained: a theater, an amphitheater, the S. Sofsh Cathedral, the Byzantine Malk, an arsenal, Zeuxipus's greenhouses, a Senate, Samson's almshouse and the Evdokshna Column.
'The third part, located along the second hill, contained the Circus, or Ginpodrome, the Pulkhers courtyard, Anpuman's pier, and a portico called Sigma, after its semi-circular Form.
The fourth part was in the first valley and on a hill near St. Soshsha. What deserved attention in it were: a beautiful bronze column erected by Emperor Justinan, one of the Old Columns, the Stadsch, Famon's portico, the golden column from which the roads throughout the empire began, and the monument to the naval victory.
The fifth part often stretched along the sloping slope of the second hill, often along the valleys to the sea. It contained: Goporlev's greenhouses, Oeodos1ev's reservoir, one of the Forums of the same sovereign, Prytanei, Evdoyushny's greenhouses, Stratepon, and a glorious obelisk transported from Egypt.
The sixth part, the edge of the top of the second hill, where now the mountainous column, the dyeing rows, and the Ali Pasha mosque, also occupied the right side of the second valley. The Column of Konstantinov, the Church of St. Anastasia and the Koroztanek greenhouses were built in it.
The seventh part was on the tops of the third hill, where now there are no stones, a replacement, as it seems, ancient here, called Lamiterum: these were also rows, like the no stones. It also contained: Tetracylon, a high pyramid, decorated with bas-reliefs, and showing the direction in the 5th direction; the main Oeodoslev Forum, in the middle of which its truumeal column was placed, The eighth part, behind the third hill, by noon, did not touch the sea anywhere. It had: a long and extensive portico, starting from the Port Firnaya, which is now a gorphly column, to the Eeodoslevaya column; the cathedral of the same emperor and the Capitol. The ninth part occupied the entire space between the current Solimani water supply system and the Vlanga-Boston gardens. It contained: a pier, Eodoslev's shops and a Forum named after him.
The tenth part, in the valley under the water supply system, included Konstantinov’s greenhouses, the large Nymphaeum, and the water supply system of the Emperor Wales, which now delivers water from three to four.”
that hill.
The eleventh part, on the top of the fourth hill on its northern side, went all the way to the village, separating Gevdomon or the L-th part from the city. In it were the Flaxian Palace, the Arkazhe and Modest reservoirs, the great Church of the Twelve Apostles, and the Column of the Dfva, with a statue of Venus, which, according to the fabulous legend, has the property of recognizing the ABCs of the Blessed Ones.
The twelfth part was on the seventh hill, called Xerolothos, separated from the other six hills by a wide valley. There were golden gates, porticos, Troas, and Arcadevo pond. Part G. 46 The thirteenth part was already outside the city, on the other side of the Pier, gdv now Galata and Perskoe predmfetya. It housed the Honorable Forum, the theater and naumakhi.
The fourteenth part, finally, occupied the sixth hill and was separated from other parts of the city by a special fence. In it there were baths, a theater, and a magnificent palace, as they think, of Constantine the Great: some of its remains are still visible; The Turks call them Tekir Saray.
