Description Keystone Constantine Forum Istanbul.JPG |
English:
This huge key stone which was found in Çemberlitaş may belong to a big arch at the
Forum of Constantine
. The forum was built by Constantine I in the quarter of today's Çemberlitaş. It was oriented north-south, the forum was oval in its ground plan. Historical sources report that located within the forum was:
- a Senate House or basilica , a monumental fountain or nymphaeum , and silversmith and chandler shops. The pavement was of marble. On the periphery it was ornamented by statuary and reliefs. An honourific column dedicated to Constantine I was erected in its centre. A place of worship devoted to the emperors, known as Hagios Constantinos, was constructed on the rectangular base of the monument. One of the official imperial ceremonies was held here. Basil I the Macedonian constructed the Church of St. Mary (Theotokos) on one of the porticoes. |
