+  <h2 class='c006'>PREFACE.</h2>
+</div>
+<p class='c007'>In the following pages I venture to take part in the task
+of identifying the historical sites of Byzantine or Roman Constantinople,
+with the view of making the events of which that
+city was the theatre more intelligible and vivid. The new
+interest now taken in all related to the Byzantine world
+demands a work of this character.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The attention I have devoted, for many years, to the
+subject has been sustained by the conviction that the Empire
+of which New Rome was the capital defended the higher
+life of mankind against the attacks of formidable antagonists,
+and rendered eminent service to the cause of human welfare.
+This is what gives to the archæological study of the city its
+dignity and importance.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Only a portion of my subject is dealt with in the present
+volume—the walls of the city, which were the bulwarks of
+civilization for more than a thousand years, and the adjoining
+sites and monuments memorable in history.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>While availing myself, as the reader will find, of the results
+obtained by my predecessors in this field of research, I have
+endeavoured to make my work a fresh and independent
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_vi'>vi</span>investigation of the subject, by constant appeals to the original
+authorities, and by direct examination of the localities concerned.
+The difficult questions which must be decided, in
+order that our knowledge of the old city may be more satisfactory,
+have been made prominent. Some of them, however,
+cannot be answered once for all, until excavations are permitted.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>By the frequent quotations and references which occur in
+the course of the following discussions, the student will find
+himself placed in a position to verify the statements and to
+weigh the arguments submitted to his consideration. All
+difference of opinion leading nearer to the truth in the case
+will be welcomed.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>My best thanks are due to the friends and the photographers
+who have enabled me to provide the book with illustrations,
+maps, and plans, thus making the study of the subject
+clearer and more interesting. The plan of the so-called Prisons
+of Anemas by Hanford W. Edson, Esq., the sketches by Mrs.
+Walker, the photographs taken by Professor Ormiston, and the
+maps and plans drawn by Arthur E. Henderson, Esq., are
+particularly valuable. I wish to express my gratitude also to
+the many friends who accompanied me on my explorations of
+the city, thereby facilitating the accomplishment of my work,
+and associating it with delightful memories.</p>

+</div>
+<p class='c007'>Without attempting any elaborate description of the site
+occupied by Constantinople, such as we have in Gyllius’ valuable
+work on the topography of the city,<a id='r1' /><a href='#f1' class='c009'><sup>[1]</sup></a> it is necessary to indicate
+to the reader, now invited to wander among the ruins of New
+Rome, the most salient features of the territory he is to
+explore.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The city is situated at the south-western end of the
+Bosporus, upon a promontory that shoots out from the
+European shore of the straits, with its apex up stream, as
+though to stem the waters that rush from the Black Sea into
+the Sea of Marmora. To the north, the narrow bay of the
+Golden Horn runs inland, between steep banks, for some six or
+seven miles, and forms one of the finest harbours in the world.
+The Sea of Marmora spreads southwards like a lake, its
+Asiatic coast bounded by hills and mountains, and fringed
+with islands. Upon the shore of Asia, facing the eastern side
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_2'>2</span>of the promontory, stand the historic towns of Chrysopolis
+(Scutari) and Chalcedon (Kadikeui). The mainland to the
+west is an undulating plain that soon meets the horizon. It
+offers little to attract the eye in the way of natural beauty,
+but in the palmy days of the city it, doubtless, presented a
+pleasing landscape of villas and gardens.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The promontory, though strictly speaking a trapezium, is
+commonly described as a triangle, on account of the comparative
+shortness of its eastern side. It is about four miles
+long, and from one to four miles wide, with a surface broken
+up into hills and plains. The higher ground, which reaches an
+elevation of some 250 feet, is massed in two divisions—a large
+isolated hill at the south-western corner of the promontory,
+and a long ridge, divided, more or less completely, by five
+cross valleys into six distinct eminences, overhanging the Golden
+Horn. Thus, New Rome boasted of being enthroned upon as
+many hills beside the Bosporus, as her elder sister beside the
+Tiber.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The two masses of elevated land just described are separated
+by a broad meadow, through which the stream of the
+Lycus flows athwart the promontory into the Sea of Marmora;
+and there is, moreover, a considerable extent of level land along
+the shores of the promontory, and in the valleys between the
+northern hills.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Few of the hills of Constantinople were known by special
+names, and accordingly, as a convenient mode of reference,
+they are usually distinguished by numerals.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The First Hill is the one nearest the promontory’s apex,
+having upon it the Seraglio, St. Irene, St. Sophia, and the
+Hippodrome. The Second Hill, divided from the First by the
+valley descending from St. Sophia to the Golden Horn, bears
+upon its summit the porphyry Column of Constantine the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_3'>3</span>Great, popularly known as the Burnt Column and Tchemberli
+Tash. The Third Hill is separated from the preceding by the
+valley of the Grand Bazaar, and is marked by the War Office
+and adjacent Fire-Signal Tower, the Mosque of Sultan Bajazet,
+and the Mosque of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. The
+Fourth Hill stands farther back from the water than the
+five other hills beside the Golden Horn, and is parted from
+the Third Hill by the valley which descends from the aqueduct
+of Valens to the harbour. It is surmounted by the Mosque of
+Sultan Mehemet the Conqueror. The Fifth Hill is really a
+long precipitous spur of the Fourth Hill, protruding almost to
+the shore of the Golden Horn in the quarter of the Phanar.
+Its summit is crowned by the Mosque of Sultan Selim. Between
+it and the Third Hill spreads a broad plain, bounded by the
+Fourth Hill on the south, and the Golden Horn on the north.
+The Sixth Hill is divided from the Fifth by the valley which
+ascends southwards from the Golden Horn at Balat Kapoussi
+to the large Byzantine reservoir (Tchoukour Bostan), on the
+ridge that runs from the Mosque of Sultan Mehemet to the
+Gate of Adrianople. It is distinguished by the ruins of the
+Palace of the Porphyrogenitus (Tekfour Serai) and the quarter
+of Egri Kapou. Nicetas Choniates styles it the Hill of
+Blachernae (βουνὸς τῶν Βλαχερνῶν),<a id='r2' /><a href='#f2' class='c009'><sup>[2]</sup></a> and upon it stood the
+famous Imperial residence of that name. The Seventh Hill,
+occupying the south-western angle of the city, was known, on
+account of its arid soil, as the Xerolophos—the Dry Hill.<a id='r3' /><a href='#f3' class='c009'><sup>[3]</sup></a>
+Upon it are found Avret Bazaar, the pedestal of the Column of
+Arcadius, and the quarters of Alti Mermer and Psamathia.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_4'>4</span>Here, then, was a situation where men could build a noble
+city in the midst of some of the fairest scenery on earth.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>But the history of Constantinople cannot be understood unless
+the extraordinary character of the geographical position of the
+place is present to the mind. No city owes so much to its site.
+The vitality and power of Constantinople are rooted in a unique
+location. Nowhere is the influence of geography upon history
+more strikingly marked. Here, to a degree that is marvellous,
+the possibilities of the freest and widest intercourse blend with
+the possibilities of complete isolation. No city can be more in
+the world and out of the world. It is the meeting-point of some
+of the most important highways on the globe, whether by sea
+or land; the centre around which diverse, vast, and wealthy
+countries lie within easy reach, inviting intimate commercial
+relations, and permitting extended political control. Here the
+peninsula of Asia Minor, stretching like a bridge across the
+seas that sunder Asia and Europe, narrows the waters between
+the two great continents to a stream only half a mile across.
+Hither the Mediterranean ascends, through the avenues of the
+Ægean and the Marmora, from the regions of the south; while
+the Euxine and the Azoff spread a pathway to the regions of
+the north. Here is a harbour within which the largest and
+richest fleets can find a perfect shelter.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>But no less remarkable is the facility with which the great
+world, so near at hand, can be excluded. Access to this point
+by sea is possible only through the straits of the Hellespont on
+the one side, and through the straits of the Bosporus on the other—defiles
+which, when properly guarded, no hostile navy could
+penetrate. These channels, with the Sea of Marmora between
+them, formed, moreover, a natural moat which prevented an
+Asiatic foe from coming within striking distance of the city;
+while the narrow breadth of the promontory on which the city
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_5'>5</span>stands allowed the erection of fortifications, along the west,
+which could be held against immense armies by a comparatively
+small force.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>As Dean Stanley, alluding to the selection of this site for the
+new capital of the Empire, has observed: “Of all the events of
+Constantine’s life, this choice is the most convincing and enduring
+proof of his real genius.”</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Although it does not fall within the scope of this work to
+discuss the topography of Byzantium before the time of Constantine,
+it will not be inappropriate to glance at the circuits of
+the fortifications which successively brought more and more of
+this historic promontory within their widening compass, until the
+stronghold of a small band of colonists from Megara became the
+most splendid city and the mightiest bulwark of the Roman world.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Four such circuits demand notice.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>First came the fortifications which constituted the Acropolis
+of Byzantium.<a id='r4' /><a href='#f4' class='c009'><sup>[4]</sup></a> They are represented by the walls, partly
+Byzantine and partly Turkish, which cling to the steep sides of
+the Seraglio plateau at the eastern extremity of the First Hill,
+and support the Imperial Museum, the Kiosk of Sultan Abdul
+Medjid, and the Imperial Kitchens.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>That the Acropolis occupied this point may be inferred from
+the natural fitness of the rocky eminence at the head of the
+promontory to form the kind of stronghold around which ancient
+cities gathered as their nucleus. And this inference is confirmed
+by the allusions to the Acropolis in Xenophon’s graphic account
+of the visit of the Ten Thousand to Byzantium, on their return
+from Persia. According to the historian, when those troops, after
+their expulsion from the city, forced their way back through the
+western gates, Anaxibius, the Spartan commander of the place,
+found himself obliged to seek refuge in the Acropolis from the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_6'>6</span>fury of the intruders. The soldiers of Xenophon had, however,
+cut off all access to the fortress from within the city, so that
+Anaxibius was compelled to reach it by taking a fishing-boat in
+the harbour, and rowing round the head of the promontory to
+the side of the city opposite Chalcedon. From that point also he
+sent to Chalcedon for reinforcements.<a id='r5' /><a href='#f5' class='c009'><sup>[5]</sup></a> These movements imply
+that the Acropolis was near the eastern end of the promontory.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In further support of this conclusion, it may be added that
+during the excavations made in 1871 for the construction of the
+Roumelian railroad, an ancient wall was unearthed at a short
+distance south of Seraglio Point. It ran from east to west, and
+was built of blocks measuring, in some cases, 7 feet in length, 3
+feet 9 inches in width, and over 2 feet in thickness.<a id='r6' /><a href='#f6' class='c009'><sup>[6]</sup></a> Judging
+from its position and character, the wall formed part of the
+fortifications around the Acropolis.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The second circuit of walls around Byzantium is that described
+by the Anonymus of the eleventh century and his follower
+Codinus.<a id='r7' /><a href='#f7' class='c009'><sup>[7]</sup></a> Starting from the Tower of the Acropolis at the apex
+of the promontory, the wall proceeded along the Golden Horn
+as far west as the Tower of Eugenius, which must have stood
+beside the gate of that name—the modern Yali Kiosk Kapoussi.<a id='r8' /><a href='#f8' class='c009'><sup>[8]</sup></a>
+There the wall left the shore and made for the Strategion and
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_7'>7</span>the Thermæ of Achilles. The former was a level tract of ground
+devoted to military exercises—the <i>Champ de Mars</i> of Byzantium—and
+occupied a portion of the plain at the foot of the
+Second Hill, between Yali Kiosk Kapoussi and Sirkedji Iskelessi.<a id='r9' /><a href='#f9' class='c009'><sup>[9]</sup></a>
+The Thermæ of Achilles stood near the Strategion; and
+there also was a gate of the city, known in later days as the
+Arch of Urbicius. The wall then ascended the slope of the hill to
+the Chalcoprateia, or Brass Market, which extended from the
+neighbourhood of the site now occupied by the Sublime Porte
+to the vicinity of Yeri Batan Serai, the ancient Cisterna Basilica.<a id='r10' /><a href='#f10' class='c009'><sup>[10]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The ridge of the promontory was reached at the Milion,
+the milestone from which distances from Constantinople were
+measured. It stood to the south-west of St. Sophia, and
+marked the site of one of the gates of Byzantium. Thence the
+line of the fortifications proceeded to the twisted columns of
+the Tzycalarii, which, judging from the subsequent course of
+the wall, were on the plateau beside St. Irene. Then, the wall
+descended to the Sea of Marmora at Topi,<a id='r11' /><a href='#f11' class='c009'><sup>[11]</sup></a> somewhere near the
+present Seraglio Lighthouse, and, turning northwards, ran along
+the shore to the apex of the promontory, past the sites occupied,
+subsequently, by the Thermae of Arcadius and the Mangana.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>If we are to believe the Anonymus and Codinus, this was
+the circuit of Byzantium from the foundation of the city by
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_8'>8</span>Byzas to the time of Constantine the Great. On the latter
+point, however, these writers were certainly mistaken; for the
+circuit of Byzantium was much larger than the one just
+indicated, not only in the reign of that emperor, but as far
+back as the year 196 of our era, and even before that date.<a id='r12' /><a href='#f12' class='c009'><sup>[12]</sup></a>
+The statements of the Anonymus and Codinus can therefore
+be correct only if they refer to the size of the city at a very
+early period.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>One is, indeed, strongly tempted to reject the whole account
+of this wall as legendary, or as a conjecture based upon the
+idea that the Arch of Urbicius and the Arch of the Milion
+represented gates in an old line of bulwarks. But, on the
+other hand, it is more than probable that Byzantium was not
+as large, originally, as it became during its most flourishing
+days, and accordingly the two arches above mentioned may
+have marked the course of the first walls built beyond the
+bounds of the Acropolis.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>We pass next to the third line of walls which guarded the
+city, the walls which made Byzantium one of the great fortresses
+of the ancient world. These fortifications described a circuit of
+thirty-five stadia,<a id='r13' /><a href='#f13' class='c009'><sup>[13]</sup></a> which would bring within the compass of the
+city most of the territory occupied by the first two hills of the
+promontory. Along the Golden Horn, the line of the walls
+extended from the head of the promontory to the western side
+of the bay that fronts the valley between the Second and Third
+Hills, the valley of the Grand Bazaar. Three ports, more or
+less artificial,<a id='r14' /><a href='#f14' class='c009'><sup>[14]</sup></a> were found in that bay for the accommodation of
+the shipping that frequented the busy mart of commerce, one
+of them being, unquestionably, at the Neorion.<a id='r15' /><a href='#f15' class='c009'><sup>[15]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_9'>9</span>These bulwarks, renowned in antiquity for their strength,
+were faced with squared blocks of hard stone, bound together
+with metal clamps, and so closely fitted as to seem a wall of
+solid rock around the city. One tower was named the Tower
+of Hercules, on account of its superior size and strength, and
+seven towers were credited with the ability to echo the slightest
+sound made by the movements of an enemy, and thus secure
+the garrison against surprise. From the style of their
+construction, one would infer that these fortifications were
+built soon after Pausanias followed up his victory on the field
+of Platæa by the expulsion of the Persians from Byzantium.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>These splendid ramparts were torn down in 196 by Septimius
+Severus to punish the city for its loyalty to the cause of his
+rival, Pescennius Niger. In their ruin they presented a scene
+that made Herodianus<a id='r16' /><a href='#f16' class='c009'><sup>[16]</sup></a> hesitate whether to wonder more at the
+skill of their constructors, or the strength of their destroyers.
+But the blunder of leaving unguarded the water-way, along which
+barbarous tribes could descend from the shores of the Euxine
+to ravage some of the fairest provinces of the Empire, was too
+glaring not to be speedily recognized and repaired. Even the
+ruthless destroyer of the city perceived his mistake, and ere
+long, at the solicitation of his son Caracalla, ordered the
+reconstruction of the strategic stronghold.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>It is with Byzantium as restored by Severus that we are
+specially concerned, for in that form the city was the immediate
+predecessor of Constantinople, and affected the character of the
+new capital to a considerable extent. According to Zosimus,
+the principal gate in the new walls of Severus stood at the
+extremity of a line of porticoes erected by that emperor for the
+embellishment of the city.<a id='r17' /><a href='#f17' class='c009'><sup>[17]</sup></a> There Constantine subsequently
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_10'>10</span>placed the Forum known by his name, so that from the Forum
+one entered the porticoes in question, and passed beyond the
+limits of Byzantium.<a id='r18' /><a href='#f18' class='c009'><sup>[18]</sup></a> Now, the site of the Forum of Constantine
+is one of the points in the topography of the capital of the
+Eastern Roman Empire concerning which there can be no
+difference of opinion. The porphyry column (Burnt Column)
+which surmounts the Second Hill was the principal ornament of
+that public place. Therefore the gate of Byzantium must have
+stood at a short distance from that column. According to the
+clearest statements on the subject, the gate was to the east of
+the column, the Forum standing immediately beyond the
+boundary of the old city.<a id='r19' /><a href='#f19' class='c009'><sup>[19]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The language of Zosimus, taken alone, suggests, indeed,
+the idea that the gate of Byzantium had occupied a site to the
+west of the Forum; in other words, that the Forum was constructed
+to the east of the gate, within the line of the wall of
+Severus. For, according to the historian, one entered the porticoes
+of Severus and left the old town, after passing through
+the arches (δι᾽ ὧν) which stood, respectively, at the eastern and
+western extremities of the Forum of Constantine. This was
+possible, however, only if these various structures, in proceeding
+from east to west, came in the following order: Forum of Constantine;
+porticoes of Severus; gate of Byzantium. On this
+view, the statement that the Forum was “at the place where the
+gate had stood” would be held to imply that the porticoes
+between the Forum and the gate were too short to be taken
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_11'>11</span>into account in a general indication of the Forum’s position.
+But to interpret Zosimus thus puts him in contradiction, first,
+with Theophanes, as cited above; secondly, with Hesychius
+Milesius,<a id='r20' /><a href='#f20' class='c009'><sup>[20]</sup></a> who says that the wall of Byzantium did not go
+beyond the Forum of Constantine (οὐκ ἔξω τῆς ἐπωνύμου ἀγορᾶς
+τοῦ βασιλέως); thirdly, though that is of less moment, with the
+Anonymus<a id='r21' /><a href='#f21' class='c009'><sup>[21]</sup></a> and Codinus,<a id='r22' /><a href='#f22' class='c009'><sup>[22]</sup></a> who explain the circular shape of the
+Forum as derived from the shape of Constantine’s tent when he
+besieged the city.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Lethaby and Swainson<a id='r23' /><a href='#f23' class='c009'><sup>[23]</sup></a> place the Forum between the porticoes
+of Severus on the east and the gate of Byzantium on the
+west, putting the western arch of the Forum on the site of the
+latter. They understand the statement of Zosimus to mean that
+a person in the Forum could either enter the porticoes <i>or</i> leave
+the old town according as he proceeded eastwards or westwards.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>From that gate the wall descended the northern slope of the
+hill to the Neorion, and thence went eastwards to the head of the
+promontory.<a id='r24' /><a href='#f24' class='c009'><sup>[24]</sup></a> In descending to the Golden Horn the wall kept,
+probably, to the eastern bank of the valley of the Grand Bazaar,
+to secure a natural escarpment which would render assault
+more difficult.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Upon the side towards the Sea of Marmora the wall proceeded
+from the main gate of the city to the point occupied by
+the temple of Aphrodite, and to the shore facing Chrysopolis.<a id='r25' /><a href='#f25' class='c009'><sup>[25]</sup></a>
+The temple of the Goddess of Beauty was one of the oldest
+sanctuaries in Byzantium,<a id='r26' /><a href='#f26' class='c009'><sup>[26]</sup></a> and did not entirely disappear until
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_12'>12</span>the reign of Theodosius the Great, by whom it was converted
+into a carriage-house for the Prætorian Prefect.<a id='r27' /><a href='#f27' class='c009'><sup>[27]</sup></a> It was, consequently,
+a landmark that would long be remembered. Malalas<a id='r28' /><a href='#f28' class='c009'><sup>[28]</sup></a>
+places it within the ancient Acropolis of the city. Other
+authorities likewise put it there, adding that it stood higher up
+the hill of the Acropolis than the neighbouring temple of
+Poseidon,<a id='r29' /><a href='#f29' class='c009'><sup>[29]</sup></a> where it overlooked one of the theatres built
+against the Marmora side of the citadel,<a id='r30' /><a href='#f30' class='c009'><sup>[30]</sup></a> and faced Chrysopolis.<a id='r31' /><a href='#f31' class='c009'><sup>[31]</sup></a>
+From these indications it is clear that the temple lay to the
+north-east of the site of St. Sophia, and therefore not far from
+the site of St. Irene on the Seraglio plateau.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Accordingly, the wall of Severus, upon leaving the western
+gate of the city, did not descend to the shore of the Sea of
+Marmora, but after proceeding in that direction for some
+distance turned south-eastwards, keeping well up the south-western
+slopes of the First Hill, until the Seraglio plateau was
+reached.<a id='r32' /><a href='#f32' class='c009'><sup>[32]</sup></a> As these slopes were for the most part very steep,
+the city, when viewed from the Sea of Marmora, presented the
+appearance of a great Acropolis upon a hill.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Where precisely the wall reached the Sea of Marmora
+opposite Chrysopolis is not stated, but it could not have been
+far from the point now occupied by the Seraglio Lighthouse, for
+the break in the steep declivity of the First Hill above that point
+offered the easiest line of descent from the temple of Aphrodite
+to the shore. Thus it appears that the circuit of the walls
+erected by Severus followed, substantially, the course of the
+fortifications which he had overthrown. It is a corroboration
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_13'>13</span>of this conclusion to find that the ground outside the wall
+constructed by Severus—the valley of the Grand Bazaar—answers
+to the description of the ground outside the wall which
+he destroyed; a smooth tract, sloping gently to the water:
+“Primus post mœnia campus erat peninsulæ cervicis sensim
+descendentis ad litus, et ne urbs esset insula prohibentis.”<a id='r33' /><a href='#f33' class='c009'><sup>[33]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>To this account of the successive circuits of Byzantium until
+the time of Constantine, may be added a rapid survey of the
+internal arrangements and public buildings of the city after its
+restoration by Severus.<a id='r34' /><a href='#f34' class='c009'><sup>[34]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>A large portion of the Hippodrome, so famous in the history
+of Constantinople, was erected by Severus, who left the edifice
+unfinished owing to his departure for the West. Between the
+northern end of the Hippodrome and the subsequent site of
+St. Sophia was the Tetrastoon, a public square surrounded by
+porticoes, having the Thermæ of Zeuxippus upon its southern
+side.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the Acropolis were placed, as usual, the principal sanctuaries
+of the city; the Temples of Artemis, Aphrodite, Apollo,
+Zeus, Poseidon, and Demeter. Against the steep eastern side
+of the citadel, Severus constructed a theatre and a Kynegion
+for the exhibition of wild animals, as the Theatre of Dionysius
+and the Odeon were built against the Acropolis of Athens.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>At a short distance from the apex of the promontory rose the
+column, still found there, bearing the inscription <i>Fortunæ Reduci
+ob devictos Gothos</i>, in honour of Claudius Gothicus for his victories
+over the Goths. To the north of the Acropolis was the Stadium;<a id='r35' /><a href='#f35' class='c009'><sup>[35]</sup></a>
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_14'>14</span>then came the ports of the Prosphorion and the Neorion, and
+in their vicinity the Strategion, the public prison,<a id='r36' /><a href='#f36' class='c009'><sup>[36]</sup></a> and the
+shrine of Achilles and Ajax.<a id='r37' /><a href='#f37' class='c009'><sup>[37]</sup></a> The aqueduct which the Emperor
+Hadrian erected for Byzantium continued to supply the city of
+Severus.<a id='r38' /><a href='#f38' class='c009'><sup>[38]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Nor was the territory without the walls entirely unoccupied.
+From statements found in Dionysius Byzantius, and from
+allusions which later writers make to ruined temples in different
+quarters of Constantinople, it is evident that many hamlets and
+public edifices existed along the shore of the Golden Horn, and
+in the valleys and on the hills beyond the city limits. Blachernæ
+was already established beside the Sixth Hill; Sycæ, famous for
+its figs, occupied the site of Galata; and the Xerolophos was a
+sacred hill, crowned with a temple of Zeus.<a id='r39' /><a href='#f39' class='c009'><sup>[39]</sup></a></p>

+  <h2 id='chap02' class='c006'>CHAPTER II. <br /> THE CITY OF CONSTANTINE—ITS LIMITS—FORTIFICATIONS—INTERIOR ARRANGEMENT.</h2>
+</div>
+<p class='c007'>In the year 328 of our era, Constantine commenced the transformation
+of Byzantium into New Rome by widening the
+boundaries of the ancient town and erecting new fortifications.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>On foot, spear in hand, the emperor traced the limits of the
+future capital in person, and when his courtiers, surprised at the
+compass of the circuit he set himself to describe, inquired how
+far he would proceed, he replied, “Until He stops Who goes
+before me.”<a id='r40' /><a href='#f40' class='c009'><sup>[40]</sup></a> The story expresses a sense of the profound
+import of the work begun on that memorable day. It was the
+inauguration of an epoch.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>We shall endeavour to determine the limits assigned to the
+city of Constantine. The data at our command for that purpose
+are, it is true, not everything that can be desired; they are often
+vague; at other times they refer to landmarks which have
+disappeared, and the sites of which it is impossible now to
+identify; nevertheless, a careful study of these indications
+yields more satisfactory results than might have been anticipated
+under the circumstances.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The new land wall, we shall find, crossed the promontory<a id='r41' /><a href='#f41' class='c009'><sup>[41]</sup></a>
+along a line a short distance to the east of the Cistern of
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_16'>16</span>Mokius on the Seventh Hill, (the Tchoukour Bostan, west of
+Avret Bazaar), and of the Cistern of Aspar at the head of the
+valley between the Fourth and Sixth Hills, (the Tchoukour
+Bostan on the right of the street leading from the Mosque of
+Sultan Mehemet to the Adrianople Gate). The southern end
+of the line reached the Sea of Marmora somewhere between
+the gates known respectively, at present, as Daoud Pasha
+Kapoussi and Psamathia Kapoussi, while its northern extremity
+abutted on the Golden Horn, in the neighbourhood of the
+Stamboul head of the inner bridge. At the same time the
+seaward walls of Byzantium were repaired, and prolonged to
+meet the extremities of the new land wall.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>That this outline of the city of Constantine is, substantially,
+correct, will appear from the information which ancient writers
+have given on the subject.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(<i>a</i>) According to Zosimus,<a id='r42' /><a href='#f42' class='c009'><sup>[42]</sup></a> the land wall of the new capital
+was carried fifteen stadia west of the corresponding wall of
+Byzantium. The position of the latter, we have already seen,
+is marked, with sufficient accuracy for our present purpose by
+the porphyry Column of Constantine which stood close to the
+main gate of the old Greek town.<a id='r43' /><a href='#f43' class='c009'><sup>[43]</sup></a> Proceeding from that
+column fifteen stadia westwards, we come to a line within a
+short distance of the reservoirs above mentioned.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(<i>b</i>) In the oldest description of Constantinople—that contained
+in the <i>Notitia</i><a id='r44' /><a href='#f44' class='c009'><sup>[44]</sup></a>—the length of the city is put down as
+14,075 Roman feet; the breadth as 6150 Roman feet. The
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_17'>17</span><i>Notitia</i> belongs to the age of Theodosius II., and might therefore
+be supposed to give the dimensions of the city after its
+enlargement by that emperor. This, however, is not the case.
+The size of Constantinople under Theodosius II. is well known,
+seeing the ancient walls which still surround Stamboul mark,
+with slight modifications, the wider limits of the city in the
+fifth century. But the figures of the <i>Notitia</i> do not correspond
+to the well-ascertained dimensions of the Theodosian city;
+they fall far short of those dimensions, and therefore can
+refer only to the length and breadth of the original city of
+Constantine. To adhere thus to the original size of the capital
+after it had been outgrown is certainly strange, but may be
+explained as due to the force of habit. When the <i>Notitia</i> was
+written, the enlargement of the city by Theodosius was too
+recent an event to alter old associations of thought and introduce
+new points of view. “The City,” proper, was still what
+Constantine had made it.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The length of the original city was measured from the Porta
+Aurea on the west to the sea on the east. Unfortunately, a
+serious difference of opinion exists regarding the particular gate
+intended by the Porta Aurea. There can be no doubt, however,
+that the sea at the eastern end of the line of measurement was
+the sea at the head of the promontory; for only by coming to
+that point could the full length of the city be obtained. Consequently,
+if we take the head of the promontory for our starting-point
+of measurement, and proceed westwards to a distance
+of 14,075 feet, we shall discover the extent of the city of
+Constantine in that direction. This course brings us to the
+same result as the figures of Zosimus—to the neighbourhood of
+the Cisterns of Mokius and Aspar.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Turning next to the breadth of the city, we find that the
+only portion of the promontory across which a line of 6150 feet
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_18'>18</span>will stretch from sea to sea lies between the district about the
+gate Daoud Pasha Kapoussi, beside the Sea of Marmora on
+the south, and the district about the Stamboul head of the
+inner bridge on the north; elsewhere the promontory is either
+narrower or broader. Hence the southern and northern extremities
+of the land wall of Constantine terminated respectively,
+as stated above, in these districts.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>From these figures we pass to the localities and structures
+by which Byzantine writers have indicated the course of Constantine’s
+wall.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>On the side of the Sea of Marmora the wall extended as
+far west as the Gate of St. Æmilianus (πόρτα τοῦ ἁγίου Αἰμιλιανοῦ),
+and the adjoining church of St. Mary Rhabdou (τῆς
+ἁγίας θεοτόκου τῆς Ῥάβδου).<a id='r45' /><a href='#f45' class='c009'><sup>[45]</sup></a> That gate is represented by
+Daoud Pasha Kapoussi, which stands immediately to the west
+of Vlanga Bostan.<a id='r46' /><a href='#f46' class='c009'><sup>[46]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In crossing from the Sea of Marmora to the Golden Horn,
+over the Seventh, Fourth, and Fifth Hills, the line of the
+fortifications was marked by the Exokionion; the Ancient Gate
+of the Forerunner; the Monastery of St. Dius; the Convent
+of Icasia; the Cistern of Bonus; the Church of SS. Manuel,
+Sabel, and Ishmael; the Church, and the Zeugma, or Ferry, of
+St. Antony in the district of Harmatius, where the fortifications
+reached the harbour.<a id='r47' /><a href='#f47' class='c009'><sup>[47]</sup></a> To this list may be added the Trojan
+Porticoes and the Cistern of Aspar.</p>

+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>(<i>a</i>) The Exokionion (τὸ ἐξωκιόνιον)<a id='r48' /><a href='#f48' class='c009'><sup>[48]</sup></a> was a district immediately
+outside the Constantinian Wall, and obtained its name from
+a column in the district, bearing the statue of the founder of
+the city. Owing to a corruption of the name, the quarter was
+commonly known as the Hexakionion (τὸ ἑξακιόνιον).<a id='r49' /><a href='#f49' class='c009'><sup>[49]</sup></a> It is
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_19'>19</span>celebrated in ecclesiastical history as the extra-mural suburb in
+which the Arians were allowed to hold their religious services,
+when Theodosius the Great, the champion of orthodoxy, prohibited
+heretical worship within the city.<a id='r50' /><a href='#f50' class='c009'><sup>[50]</sup></a> Hence the terms
+Arians and Exokionitai became synonymous.<a id='r51' /><a href='#f51' class='c009'><sup>[51]</sup></a> In later times
+the quarter was one of the fashionable parts of the city, containing
+many fine churches and handsome residences.<a id='r52' /><a href='#f52' class='c009'><sup>[52]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Gyllius was disposed to place the Exokionion on the Fifth
+Hill,<a id='r53' /><a href='#f53' class='c009'><sup>[53]</sup></a> basing his opinion on the fact that he found, when he first
+visited the city, a noble column standing on that hill, about half
+a mile to the north-west of the Mosque of Sultan Mehemet.<a id='r54' /><a href='#f54' class='c009'><sup>[54]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Dr. Mordtmann, on the other hand, maintains that the designation
+was applied to the extra-mural territory along the whole
+line of the Constantinian land fortifications.<a id='r55' /><a href='#f55' class='c009'><sup>[55]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>But the evidence on the subject requires us to place the
+Exokionion on the Seventh Hill, and to restrict the name to
+that locality.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>For in the account of the triumphal entry of Basil I. through
+the Golden Gate of the Theodosian Walls, the Exokionion is
+placed between the Sigma and the Xerolophos.<a id='r56' /><a href='#f56' class='c009'><sup>[56]</sup></a> The Sigma
+appears in the history of the sedition which overthrew Michael V.,
+(1042), and is described as situated above the Monastery of
+St. Mary Peribleptos.<a id='r57' /><a href='#f57' class='c009'><sup>[57]</sup></a> Now, regarding the position of that
+monastery there is no doubt. The establishment, founded by
+Romanus Argyrus, was one of the most important monastic
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_20'>20</span>houses in Constantinople. Its church survived the Turkish Conquest,
+and remained in the hands of the Greeks until 1643, when
+Sultan Ibrahim granted it to the Armenian community.<a id='r58' /><a href='#f58' class='c009'><sup>[58]</sup></a> Since
+that time the sacred edifice has twice been destroyed by fire, and
+is now rebuilt under the title of St. George. It is popularly known
+as Soulou Monastir (the Water Monastery), after its adjoining
+ancient cistern, and stands in the quarter of Psamathia, low down
+the southern slope of the Seventh Hill.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Xerolophos was the name of the Seventh Hill in
+general,<a id='r59' /><a href='#f59' class='c009'><sup>[59]</sup></a> but was sometimes applied, as in the case before us, to
+the Forum of Arcadius (Avret Bazaar) upon the hill’s summit.<a id='r60' /><a href='#f60' class='c009'><sup>[60]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>This being so, the Exokionion, which was situated between
+the Sigma and the Forum of Arcadius, must have occupied the
+upper western slope of the Seventh Hill.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In corroboration of this conclusion two additional facts may
+be cited. First, the Church of St. Mokius, the sanctuary accorded
+to the Arians for their extra-mural services in the Exokionion,
+stood on the Seventh Hill,<a id='r61' /><a href='#f61' class='c009'><sup>[61]</sup></a> for it was on the road from the Sigma
+to the Forum of Arcadius,<a id='r62' /><a href='#f62' class='c009'><sup>[62]</sup></a> and gave name to the large ancient
+cistern, the Tchoukour Bostan, to the north-west of the Forum.<a id='r63' /><a href='#f63' class='c009'><sup>[63]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the next place, the district on the Seventh Hill to the
+west of Avret Bazaar (Forum of Arcadius) and beside the cistern
+of Mokius, still retains the name Exokionion under a Turkish
+form, its actual name, Alti Mermer, the district of “the Six
+Columns,” being, evidently, the Turkish rendering of Hexakionion,
+the popular Byzantine alias of Exokionion.<a id='r64' /><a href='#f64' class='c009'><sup>[64]</sup></a> The Exokionion,
+therefore, was on the Seventh Hill. Accordingly, the Wall
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_21'>21</span>of Constantine crossed that hill along a line to the east of the
+quarter of Alti Mermer.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(<i>b</i>) The next landmark, the Ancient Gate of the Forerunner
+(Παλαιὰ Πόρτα τοῦ Προδρόμου), elsewhere styled simply the Ancient
+Gate (Παλαιὰ Πόρτα),<a id='r65' /><a href='#f65' class='c009'><sup>[65]</sup></a> furnishes the most precise indication we
+have of the position of Constantine’s wall. It was a gate which
+survived the original fortifications of the city, as Temple Bar outlived
+the wall of London, and became known in later days as the
+Ancient Gate, on account of its great antiquity. Its fuller designation,
+the Ancient Gate of the Forerunner,<a id='r66' /><a href='#f66' class='c009'><sup>[66]</sup></a> is explained by the
+fact that a church dedicated to the Baptist was built against the
+adjoining wall. Conversely, the church was distinguished as the
+Church of the Forerunner at the Ancient Gate (τὴν Παλαιὰν).<a id='r67' /><a href='#f67' class='c009'><sup>[67]</sup></a>
+Manuel Chrysolaras places the entrance to the west of the
+Forum of Arcadius, and describes it as one of the finest monuments
+in the city.<a id='r68' /><a href='#f68' class='c009'><sup>[68]</sup></a> It was so wide and lofty that a tower or
+a full-rigged ship might pass through its portals. Upon the
+summit was a marble portico of dazzling whiteness, and before
+the entrance rose a column, once surmounted by a statue. When
+Bondelmontius visited the city, in 1422, the gate was still erect,
+and is marked on his map of Constantinople as Antiquissima
+Pulchra Porta.<a id='r69' /><a href='#f69' class='c009'><sup>[69]</sup></a> It survived the Turkish Conquest, when it
+obtained the name of Isa Kapoussi (the Gate of Jesus), and held
+its place as late as 1508. In that year it was overthrown by
+a great earthquake. “Isa Kapoussi,” says the Turkish historian
+Solak Zadè, who records the occurrence, “near Avret Bazaar,
+which had been in existence for 1900 years (<i>sic</i>), fell and was
+levelled to the ground.”<a id='r70' /><a href='#f70' class='c009'><sup>[70]</sup></a> But the shadow of the name still
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_22'>22</span>lingers about the site. A small mosque to the west of Avret
+Bazaar bears the name Isa Kapoussi Mesdjidi,<a id='r71' /><a href='#f71' class='c009'><sup>[71]</sup></a> while the
+adjoining street is called Isa Kapoussi Sokaki. The mosque is
+an ancient Christian church, and probably bore in its earlier
+character a name which accounts for its Turkish appellation.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>From these facts it is clear that the Wall of Constantine, in
+crossing the Seventh Hill, passed very near Isa Kapoussi Mesdjidi,
+a conclusion in accordance with the position already assigned
+to the Exokionion. The column outside the Ancient Gate was
+probably that which gave name to the district. Nowhere could
+a column bearing the statue of the city’s founder stand more
+appropriately than before this splendid entrance.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(<i>c</i>) Another landmark of the course of the Constantinian
+ramparts in this part of the city were the Trojan Porticoes
+(τρῳαδήσιοι ἔμβολοι),<a id='r72' /><a href='#f72' class='c009'><sup>[72]</sup></a> which stood so near the wall that it was
+sometimes named after them, the Trojan wall (τῶν τειχῶν τῶν
+Τρῳαδησίων).<a id='r73' /><a href='#f73' class='c009'><sup>[73]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>From their situation in the Twelfth Region,<a id='r74' /><a href='#f74' class='c009'><sup>[74]</sup></a> it is probable
+that they lined the street leading from the Porta Aurea into the
+city. They were evidently of some architectural importance,
+and are mentioned on more than one occasion as having been
+damaged by fire or earthquake.<a id='r75' /><a href='#f75' class='c009'><sup>[75]</sup></a> The reason for their name is
+a matter of conjecture, and no trace of them remains.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(<i>d</i>) Nothing definite regarding the course of the Constantinian
+Wall can be inferred from the statement that it ran beside
+the Monastery of St. Dius and the Convent of Icasia, seeing the
+situation of these establishments cannot be determined more
+exactly than that they were found near each other, somewhere
+on the Seventh Hill.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_23'>23</span>The former, ascribed to the time of Theodosius I., is mentioned
+by Antony of Novgorod in close connection with the
+Church of St. Mokius and the Church of St. Luke.<a id='r76' /><a href='#f76' class='c009'><sup>[76]</sup></a> The Convent
+of Icasia was founded by the beautiful and accomplished
+lady of that name,<a id='r77' /><a href='#f77' class='c009'><sup>[77]</sup></a> whom the Emperor Theophilus declined to
+choose for his bride because she disputed the correctness of his
+ungracious remark that women were the source of evil.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(<i>e</i>) The Cistern of Aspar, which, according to the <i>Paschal
+Chronicle</i>,<a id='r78' /><a href='#f78' class='c009'><sup>[78]</sup></a> was situated near the ancient city wall, is the old
+Byzantine reservoir (Tchoukour Bostan), on the right of the
+street conducting from the Mosque of Sultan Mehemet to the
+Gate of Adrianople in the Theodosian walls. This is clear from
+the following evidence. The cistern in question was a very
+large one, and stood near the Monastery of Manuel,<a id='r79' /><a href='#f79' class='c009'><sup>[79]</sup></a> which was
+founded by the distinguished general of that name in the reign
+of Theophilus. The church of the monastery is now the Mosque
+Kefelè Mesdjidi in the quarter of Salmak Tombruk, and a little
+to the east of it stands the Tchoukour Bostan mentioned above,<a id='r80' /><a href='#f80' class='c009'><sup>[80]</sup></a>
+the only large Byzantine reservoir in the neighbourhood.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>This conclusion is again in harmony with the figures of
+Zosimus and the <i>Notitia</i>, which, it will be remembered, brought
+the line of the Constantinian Wall close to this point.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(<i>f</i>) The Cistern of Bonus, the next landmark to be
+considered, was built by the Patrician Bonus, celebrated in
+Byzantine history for his brave defence of the capital in 627
+against the Avars and the Persians, while the Emperor
+Heraclius was in Persia carrying war into the enemy’s country.<a id='r81' /><a href='#f81' class='c009'><sup>[81]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Where this cistern was situated is a matter of dispute which
+cannot be definitely settled in our present state of knowledge.
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_24'>24</span>Gyllius identified it with a large cistern, three hundred paces in
+length, which he found robbed of its roof and columns, and
+turned into a vegetable garden, near the ruins of the Church of
+St. John in Petra, on the Sixth Hill.<a id='r82' /><a href='#f82' class='c009'><sup>[82]</sup></a> The cistern has disappeared
+since that traveller’s day, but as the Wall of
+Constantine never extended so far west, the identification
+cannot be correct.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In Dr. Mordtmann’s opinion, the Cistern of Bonus was the
+large open reservoir to the south-west of the Mosque of Sultan
+Selim, on the Fifth Hill,<a id='r83' /><a href='#f83' class='c009'><sup>[83]</sup></a> and there is much to be said in favour
+of this view.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Cistern of Bonus was, in the first place, situated in one
+of the coolest quarters of the city, and beside it, on that
+account, the Emperor Romanus I. erected a palace,<a id='r84' /><a href='#f84' class='c009'><sup>[84]</sup></a> styled the
+New Palace of Bonus,<a id='r85' /><a href='#f85' class='c009'><sup>[85]</sup></a> as a residence during the hot season.
+Nowhere in Constantinople could a cooler spot be found in
+summer than the terrace upon which the Mosque of Sultan
+Selim stands, not to speak of the attractions offered by the
+superb view of the Golden Horn from that point. Furthermore,
+the Cistern of Bonus was within a short distance from the
+Church of the Holy Apostles, seeing that on the eve of the
+annual service celebrated in that church in commemoration of
+Constantine the Great, the Imperial Court usually repaired to
+the Palace of Bonus, in order to be within easy riding distance
+of the sanctuary on the morning of the festival.<a id='r86' /><a href='#f86' class='c009'><sup>[86]</sup></a> A palace near
+the reservoir beside the Mosque of Sultan Selim would be
+conveniently near the Church of the Holy Apostles, to suit the
+emperor on such an occasion. To these considerations can be
+added, first, the fact that on the way from the Palace of Bonus
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_25'>25</span>to the Church of the Apostles there was an old cistern
+converted into market gardens,<a id='r87' /><a href='#f87' class='c009'><sup>[87]</sup></a> which may have been the
+reservoir near the Mosque of Sultan Selim; and, secondly, the
+fact that the Wall of Constantine, on its way from the Cistern
+of Aspar to the Golden Horn passed near the site now occupied
+by the Mosque of Sultan Selim, and, consequently, close to
+the old cistern adjoining that mosque. But to this identification
+there is a fatal objection: the Cistern of Bonus was roofed
+in,<a id='r88' /><a href='#f88' class='c009'><sup>[88]</sup></a> whereas the reservoir beside the Mosque of Sultan Selim
+appears to have always been open.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Dr. Strzygowski has suggested that the Cistern of Bonus
+stood near Eski Ali Pasha Djamissi,<a id='r89' /><a href='#f89' class='c009'><sup>[89]</sup></a> on the northern bank of the
+valley of the Lycus, and to the south-west of the Mosque of
+Sultan Mehemet.<a id='r90' /><a href='#f90' class='c009'><sup>[90]</sup></a> No traces of a cistern have been found in
+that locality, but the conjecture satisfies the requirements of the
+case so far as the proximity of that site to the line of
+Constantine’s wall and to the Church of the Holy Apostles is
+concerned. Why that position should have been selected for a
+summer palace is, however, not apparent.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>We have said that the Constantinian Wall, upon leaving the
+Cistern of Aspar, turned sharply to the north-east, and made for
+the shore of the Golden Horn by running obliquely across the
+ridge of the Fifth Hill.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>This view of the case is required, first, in order to keep the
+breadth of the city within the limits assigned by the <i>Notitia</i>;
+and, secondly, by the statement of the same authority that the
+Eleventh Region—the Region at the north-western angle of the
+Constantinian city—did not extend to the shore of the Golden
+Horn: “Nulla parte mari sociata est.”<a id='r91' /><a href='#f91' class='c009'><sup>[91]</sup></a> For this statement
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_26'>26</span>implies that the fortifications along the northern front of that
+Region stood at some distance from the water. But the northern
+slope of the Fifth Hill is so precipitous, and approaches so close
+to the Golden Horn that the only available ground for the
+fortifications on that side of the city would be the plateau of
+the Fifth Hill, where the large cistern beside the Mosque of
+Sultan Selim is found.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(<i>g</i>) The church dedicated to the three martyr brothers, SS.
+Manual, Sabel, and Ishmael, must likewise have been on the
+Fifth Hill; for it stood where the wall began its descent
+(κατήρχετο)<a id='r92' /><a href='#f92' class='c009'><sup>[92]</sup></a> towards the Golden Horn. This agrees with the
+statement of the <i>Synaxaria</i> that the church was situated beside
+the land wall of Constantine, upon precipitous ground, and near
+the Church of St. Elias at the Petrion.<a id='r93' /><a href='#f93' class='c009'><sup>[93]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(<i>h</i>) As to the district of Harmatius, named after Harmatius,
+a prominent personage in the reign of Zeno,<a id='r94' /><a href='#f94' class='c009'><sup>[94]</sup></a> it must be sought
+in the plain bounded by the Fifth, Fourth, and Third Hills, and
+the Golden Horn, the plain known in later days as the Plateia,
+(Πλατεῖα). To that plain the fortifications of Constantine would
+necessarily descend from the Fifth Hill, in proceeding on their
+north-eastern course to the Golden Horn; and there also the
+figures of the <i>Notitia</i> require the northern end of the walls to
+terminate. Doubtless in the time of Constantine the bay at this
+point encroached upon the plain more than at present.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>A church dedicated to St. Antony was found in this part of
+the city by the Archbishop of Novgorod, when he visited
+Constantinople at the close of the eleventh century. He
+reached it after paying his devotions in the Church of St.
+Theodosia, the Church of St. Isaiah, and the Church of St.
+Laurentius,<a id='r95' /><a href='#f95' class='c009'><sup>[95]</sup></a> sanctuaries situated in the plain before us; the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_27'>27</span>first being now the Mosque Gul Djami, near Aya Kapou,<a id='r96' /><a href='#f96' class='c009'><sup>[96]</sup></a>
+while the two last are represented, it is supposed, respectively,
+by the Mosque of Sheik Mourad and the Mosque of Pour
+Kouyou, further to the south.<a id='r97' /><a href='#f97' class='c009'><sup>[97]</sup></a> The Archbishop places the
+Church of St. Antony on higher ground than the Church of
+St. Laurentius, apparently a short distance up the slope of the
+Fourth Hill, a position which St. Antony of Harmatius may
+well have occupied.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(<i>i</i>) The locality known as the Zeugma, or Ferry of St.
+Antony, stood, naturally, beside the shore. If it cannot be
+identified with Oun-Kapan Kapoussi, where one of the principal
+ferries across the Golden Horn has always stood, it must, at all
+events, have been in that neighbourhood.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(<i>j</i>) With the result thus obtained regarding the course of the
+Constantinian Wall, may now be compared the statement of
+the <i>Paschal Chronicle</i> upon the subject. According to that
+authority the old land wall of the city crossed the promontory
+from the Gate of St. Æmilianus, upon the Sea of Marmora, to
+the district of the Petrion, upon the Golden Horn.<a id='r98' /><a href='#f98' class='c009'><sup>[98]</sup></a> This
+statement is of great importance, because made while the wall
+was still standing; and it would on that account have been
+considered sooner, but for certain questions which it raises, and
+which can be answered more readily now than at a previous
+stage of our inquiries. The Chronicler makes the strange
+mistake of supposing that the wall which he saw stretching
+from sea to sea was the wall built originally for the defence of
+Byzantium by Phedalia, the wife of Byzas. Unfortunately,
+Byzantine archæologists were not always versed in history.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Setting aside, therefore, the Chronicler’s historical opinions,
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_28'>28</span>and attending to the facts under his personal observation, we
+find him entirely agreed with the Anonymus as regards the point
+at which the southern extremity of the Wall of Constantine
+terminated.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>For the Gate of St. Æmilianus, by which the former authority
+marks that extremity, stood close to the Church of St. Mary
+Rabdou, the indication given by the latter.<a id='r99' /><a href='#f99' class='c009'><sup>[99]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The case seems otherwise as regards the northern end of the
+line, for the Petrion, mentioned in the <i>Paschal Chronicle</i>, was,
+strictly speaking, the district in which the Greek Patriarchate is
+now situated, the name of the district being still retained by the
+gate (Petri Kapoussi) at the eastern end of the enclosure around
+the Patriarchal Church and residence. But this would bring the
+northern end of the land wall considerably more to the west
+than the point where we have reason to believe the Church
+of St. Antony was found. It would also make the city
+broader than the <i>Notitia</i> allows. The discrepancy can, however,
+be easily removed. For, while the Petrion was pre-eminently
+the district above indicated, the designation was applied
+also to territory much further to the east. The Church of St.
+Laurentius, for example, near which St. Antony’s stood, is at
+one time described as standing in the Plateia,<a id='r100' /><a href='#f100' class='c009'><sup>[100]</sup></a> the plain to the
+east of Petri Kapoussi, while at another time it is spoken of as
+in the Petrion.<a id='r101' /><a href='#f101' class='c009'><sup>[101]</sup></a> Hence the statement of the <i>Paschal Chronicle</i>
+does not conflict with what other authorities affirm respecting
+the point at which the Constantinian land fortifications reached
+the Golden Horn.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(<i>k</i>) Finally, from the Church of St. Antony the wall proceeded
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_29'>29</span>along the shore of the Golden Horn to the head of the promontory,
+thus completing the circuit of the fortifications.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>It should, however, be noted that this work of surrounding
+the city with bulwarks was not executed entirely in the reign of
+Constantine. A portion of the undertaking—probably the walls
+defending the shores of the city—was left for his son and
+successor Constantius to complete.<a id='r102' /><a href='#f102' class='c009'><sup>[102]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The following gates, mentioned in Byzantine history, were
+found, there is reason to believe, in the Constantinian circuit:—</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Porta Polyandriou (Πόρτα Πολυανδρίου,<a id='r103' /><a href='#f103' class='c009'><sup>[103]</sup></a> the Gate of the
+Cemetery) stood in the portion of the wall near the Church of
+the Holy Apostles. It is true that this was one of the names of
+the Gate of Adrianople in the later Theodosian Walls, but if the
+name was derived from the Imperial Cemetery beside the Church
+of the Holy Apostles, there is much probability in Dr. Mordtmann’s
+opinion that the designation belonged originally to the
+corresponding gate in the Constantinian fortifications, which
+stood closer to the cemetery.<a id='r104' /><a href='#f104' class='c009'><sup>[104]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Another gate was the Porta Atalou (Πόρτα Ἀτάλου).<a id='r105' /><a href='#f105' class='c009'><sup>[105]</sup></a> It
+was adorned with the statue of Constantine the Great and the
+statue of Atalus, after whom the gate was named. Both monuments
+fell in the earthquake of 740. The presence of the statue
+of the founder of the city upon the gate, the fact that the
+damage which the gate sustained in 740 is mentioned in close
+connection with the injuries done at the same time to the Column
+of Arcadius on the Xeropholos,<a id='r106' /><a href='#f106' class='c009'><sup>[106]</sup></a> and the lack of any proof that
+the gate stood in the Theodosian Walls, are circumstances which
+favour the view that it was an entrance in the Wall of Constantine.
+From its association with the Xerolophos one would infer
+that the Gate of Atalus was situated on the Seventh Hill, in a
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_30'>30</span>position corresponding to one of the later Theodosian gates on
+that eminence.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>That the Palaia Porta—Isa Kapoussi, beside the Mosque Isa
+Kapou Mesdjidi—was a Constantinian gate is beyond dispute.<a id='r107' /><a href='#f107' class='c009'><sup>[107]</sup></a>
+But a difficult, and at the same time important, question occurs
+in connection with it. Was it the Porta Aurea mentioned in
+the <i>Notitia</i> as the gate from which the length of the city was
+measured? What renders this a difficult question is the fact
+that the Porta Aurea of the Theodosian Walls—the celebrated
+Golden Gate which appears so frequently in the history of the
+city, and which is now incorporated in the Turkish fortress of
+the Seven Towers (Yedi Koulè), under the name Yedi Koulè
+Kapoussi—was already in existence when the <i>Notitia</i> was written.<a id='r108' /><a href='#f108' class='c009'><sup>[108]</sup></a>
+That being the case, the presumption is in favour of the opinion
+that the Golden Gate at Yedi Koulè is the Porta Aurea to which
+the <i>Notitia</i> refers; and this opinion has upon its side the great
+authority of Dr. Strzygowski.<a id='r109' /><a href='#f109' class='c009'><sup>[109]</sup></a> On the other hand, the distance
+from the Porta Aurea to the sea, as given by the <i>Notitia</i>, does
+not correspond to the distance between Yedi Koulè and the head
+of the promontory, the latter distance being much greater. To
+suppose that this discrepancy is due to a mistake which has
+crept into the figures of the <i>Notitia</i> is possible; but the supposition
+is open to more than one objection. In the first place,
+such a view obliges us to assume a similar mistake in the figures
+which that authority gives for the breadth of the city, seeing
+they do not accord with the breadth of the city along the line of
+the Theodosian Walls. But even if this objection is waived, and
+the possibility of a double error admitted in the abstract, the
+hypothesis of a mistake in the figures before us is attended by
+another difficulty, which cannot be dismissed so easily. How
+comes it that figures condemned as inaccurate because they do
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_31'>31</span>not accord with the size of Constantinople under Theodosius II.,
+prove perfectly correct when applied to the dimensions of the
+city under its founder? How come these figures to agree completely
+with what we learn regarding the length and breadth of
+the city of Constantine from other data on that subject? This
+cannot be an accident; the only satisfactory explanation is that
+the figures in question belonged to the primitive text of the
+document in which they are found, and never referred to anything
+else than the original size of the city. Hence we are compelled
+to adopt the view that when the <i>Notitia</i> was written, two
+gates bearing the epithet “Golden” existed in Constantinople,
+one of them in the older circuit of the city, the other in the
+later fortifications of Theodosius, and that the author of the
+<i>Notitia</i> refers to the earlier entrance. There is nothing strange
+in the existence of a Triumphal Gate in the Wall of Constantine,
+while the duplication of such an entrance for a later line of
+bulwarks was perfectly natural.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Why the <i>Notitia</i> overlooks the second Porta Aurea is explained
+by the point of view from which that work was written.
+Its author was concerned with the original city. A gate in the
+Wall of Theodosius was only the vestibule of the corresponding
+Constantinian entrance.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The existence of a Porta Aurea in the Wall of Constantine
+being thus established, the identification of that gate with the
+Palaia Porta offers little difficulty. The Constantinian Porta
+Aurea, like the Ancient Gate, stood on the Seventh Hill, since
+the portion of the Via Triumphalis leading from the Exokionion
+to the Forum of Arcadius was on that eminence.<a id='r110' /><a href='#f110' class='c009'><sup>[110]</sup></a> Like the
+Ancient Gate, the Porta Aurea was, moreover, distinguished by
+fine architectural features, as its very epithet implies, and, as the
+<i>Notitia</i> declares, when it states that the city wall bounding the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_32'>32</span>Twelfth Region, on the Seventh Hill, was remarkable for its
+monumental character—“Quam (regionem) mœnium sublimior
+decorat ornatus.”<a id='r111' /><a href='#f111' class='c009'><sup>[111]</sup></a> Gates so similar in their position and appearance
+can scarcely have been different entrances.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Of the Constantinian gates along the seaboard of the city,
+the only one about which anything positive can be affirmed is
+the Gate of St. Æmilianus, near the Church of St. Mary
+Rabdou, on the Sea of Marmora. It is now represented by
+Daoud Pasha Kapoussi.<a id='r112' /><a href='#f112' class='c009'><sup>[112]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Dr. Mordtmann<a id='r113' /><a href='#f113' class='c009'><sup>[113]</sup></a> suggests the existence of a gate known as
+the Basilikè Porta beside the Golden Horn, where Ayasma
+Kapoussi stands; but this conjecture is exceedingly doubtful.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Wall of Constantine formed the boundary and bulwark
+of the city for some eighty years, its great service being the
+protection of the new capital against the Visigoths, who asserted
+their power in the Balkan Peninsula during the latter part of
+the fourth century and the earlier portion of the fifth. After
+the terrible defeat of the Roman arms at Adrianople in 378,
+the Goths marched upon Constantinople, but soon retired, in
+view of the hopelessness of an attack upon the fortifications.
+The bold Alaric never dared to assail these walls; while
+Gainas, finding he could not carry them by surprise, broke up his
+camp at the Hebdomon, and withdrew to the interior of Thrace.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>It is a mistake, however, to suppose that the original bulwarks
+of the capital were demolished as soon as the Theodosian
+Walls were built.<a id='r114' /><a href='#f114' class='c009'><sup>[114]</sup></a> On the contrary, the old works continued
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_33'>33</span>for a considerable period to form an inner line of defence. We
+hear of them in the reign of Justinian the Great, when, together
+with the Wall of Theodosius, they were injured by a violent
+earthquake.<a id='r115' /><a href='#f115' class='c009'><sup>[115]</sup></a> They were in their place also when the <i>Paschal
+Chronicle</i> was written.<a id='r116' /><a href='#f116' class='c009'><sup>[116]</sup></a> What their condition precisely was in
+740, when the Gate of Atalus was overthrown,<a id='r117' /><a href='#f117' class='c009'><sup>[117]</sup></a> cannot be determined,
+but evidently they had not completely disappeared.
+Thereafter nothing more is heard of them, and the probability
+is that they were left to waste away gradually. Remains of
+ancient walls survived in the neighbourhood of Isa Kapoussi as
+late as the early part of this century.<a id='r118' /><a href='#f118' class='c009'><sup>[118]</sup></a></p>
+<h3 class='c010'>Interior Arrangements of the City of Constantine.</h3>
+<p class='c007'>The work of altering Byzantium to become the seat of
+government was commenced in 328, and occupied some two
+years, materials and labourers for the purpose being gathered
+from all parts of the Empire. Workmen skilled in cutting
+columns and marble came even from the neighbourhood of
+Naples,<a id='r119' /><a href='#f119' class='c009'><sup>[119]</sup></a> and the forty thousand Gothic troops, known as the
+Fœderati, lent their strength to push the work forward.<a id='r120' /><a href='#f120' class='c009'><sup>[120]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>At length, on the 11th of May, <span class='fss'>A.D.</span> 330,<a id='r121' /><a href='#f121' class='c009'><sup>[121]</sup></a> the city of Constantine,
+destined to rank among the great capitals of the
+world, and to exert a vast influence over the course of human
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_34'>34</span>affairs, was dedicated with public rejoicings which lasted forty
+days.<a id='r122' /><a href='#f122' class='c009'><sup>[122]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The internal arrangements of the city were determined
+mainly by the configuration of its site, the position of the
+buildings taken over from Byzantium, and the desire to reproduce
+some of the features of Rome.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The principal new works gathered about two nuclei—the
+chief Gate of Byzantium and the Square of the Tetrastoon.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Immediately without the gate was placed the Forum, named
+after Constantine.<a id='r123' /><a href='#f123' class='c009'><sup>[123]</sup></a> It was elliptical in shape, paved with large
+stones, and surrounded by a double tier of porticoes; a lofty
+marble archway at each extremity of its longer axis led into
+this area, and in the centre rose a porphyry column, bearing a
+statue of Apollo crowned with seven rays. The figure represented
+the founder of the city “shining like the sun” upon the
+scene of his creation. On the northern side of the Forum a
+Senate House was erected.<a id='r124' /><a href='#f124' class='c009'><sup>[124]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Tetrastoon was enlarged and embellished, receiving
+in its new character the name “Augustaion,” in honour of
+Constantine’s mother Helena, who bore the title Augusta, and
+whose statue, set upon a porphyry column, adorned the square.<a id='r125' /><a href='#f125' class='c009'><sup>[125]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Hippodrome was now completed,<a id='r126' /><a href='#f126' class='c009'><sup>[126]</sup></a> to become “the axis
+of the Byzantine world,” and there, in addition to other monuments,
+the Serpent Column from Delphi was placed. The
+adjoining Thermæ of Zeuxippus were improved.<a id='r127' /><a href='#f127' class='c009'><sup>[127]</sup></a> An Imperial
+Palace,<a id='r128' /><a href='#f128' class='c009'><sup>[128]</sup></a> with its main entrance on the southern side of the
+Augustaion, was built to the east of the Hippodrome, where it
+stood related to the race-course very much as the Palace of the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_35'>35</span>Cæsars on the Palatine was related to the Circus Maximus.
+There, at the same time, it commanded the beautiful view presented
+by the Sea of Marmora, the Prince’s Islands, the hilly
+Asiatic coast, and the snow-capped Bythinian Olympus. Eusebius,
+who saw the palace in its glory, describes it as “most
+magnificent;”<a id='r129' /><a href='#f129' class='c009'><sup>[129]</sup></a> while Zosimus speaks of it as scarcely inferior
+to the Imperial Residence in Rome.<a id='r130' /><a href='#f130' class='c009'><sup>[130]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>On the eastern side of the Augustaion rose the Basilica,<a id='r131' /><a href='#f131' class='c009'><sup>[131]</sup></a>
+where the Senate held its principal meetings. It was entered
+through a porch supported by six splendid columns of marble,
+and the building itself was decorated with every possible variety
+of the same material. There also statues of rare workmanship
+were placed, such as the Group of the Muses from Helicon, the
+statue of Zeus from Dodona, and that of Pallas from Lindus.<a id='r132' /><a href='#f132' class='c009'><sup>[132]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>According to Eusebius, Constantine adorned the city and
+its suburbs with many churches,<a id='r133' /><a href='#f133' class='c009'><sup>[133]</sup></a> the most prominent of them
+being the Church of Irene<a id='r134' /><a href='#f134' class='c009'><sup>[134]</sup></a> and the Church of the Apostles.<a id='r135' /><a href='#f135' class='c009'><sup>[135]</sup></a>
+The former was situated a short distance to the north of the
+Augustaion, and there, as restored first by Justinian the Great,
+and later by Leo III., it still stands within the Seraglio enclosure,
+now an arsenal of Turkish arms.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Church of the Apostles, with its roof covered with tiles
+of gilded bronze, crowned the summit of the Fourth Hill, where
+it has been replaced by the Mosque of the Turkish Conqueror
+of the city.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>There, also, Constantine erected for himself a mausoleum,
+surrounded by twelve pillars after the number of the Apostles;<a id='r136' /><a href='#f136' class='c009'><sup>[136]</sup></a>
+and in the porticoes and chapels beside the church most of
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_36'>36</span>Constantine’s successors and their empresses, as well as the
+patriarchs of the city, found their last resting-place in sarcophagi
+of porphyry or marble. Whether Constantine had any
+part in the erection of St. Sophia is extremely uncertain.
+Eusebius is silent regarding that church; Socrates ascribes it
+to Constantius. Possibly Constantine laid the foundations of
+the famous sanctuary.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Among other churches ascribed to the founder of the city
+are those dedicated, respectively, to St. Mokius, St. Acacius, St.
+Agathonicus, and to Michael the Archangel at Anaplus (Arnaoutkeui),
+on the Bosporus.<a id='r137' /><a href='#f137' class='c009'><sup>[137]</sup></a> There is no doubt that in the foundation
+of New Rome, Constantine emphasized the alliance of
+the Empire with the Christian Church. “Over the entrance of
+his palace,” says Eusebius, “he caused a rich cross to be erected
+of gold and precious stones, as a protection and a divine charm
+against the machinations and evil purposes of his enemies.”<a id='r138' /><a href='#f138' class='c009'><sup>[138]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Three streets running the length of the city formed the great
+arteries of communication.<a id='r139' /><a href='#f139' class='c009'><sup>[139]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>One started from the south-western end of the palace enclosure,
+and proceeded along the Sea of Marmora to the Church
+of St. Æmilianus, at the southern extremity of the land wall.
+At that point was the Harbour of Eleutherius,<a id='r140' /><a href='#f140' class='c009'><sup>[140]</sup></a> on the site of
+Vlanga Bostan, providing the city with what Nature had failed
+to supply—a harbour of refuge on the southern coast of the
+promontory.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Another street commenced at the south-eastern end of the
+palace grounds (Tzycanisterion), and ran first to the point of
+the Acropolis along the eastern shore of the city, passing on
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_37'>37</span>the way the theatre and amphitheatre of Byzantium. Near the
+latter Constantine built the Mangana, or Military Arsenal.<a id='r141' /><a href='#f141' class='c009'><sup>[141]</sup></a>
+The street then proceeded westwards along the Golden Horn,
+past the Temples of Zeus and Poseidon, the Stadium, the
+Strategion, and the principal harbours of the city, to the Church
+of St. Antony in the quarter of Harmatius. In the Strategion
+an equestrian statue of Constantine was placed, and a pillar
+bearing the edict which bestowed upon the city the name of New
+Rome, as well as the rights and privileges of the elder capital.<a id='r142' /><a href='#f142' class='c009'><sup>[142]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The third street started from the main gate of the palace,
+and proceeded, first, from the Augustaion to the Forum of
+Constantine. On reaching the Third Hill it divided into two
+branches, one leading to the Porta Aurea and the Exokionion,
+the other to the Church of the Holy Apostles and the Gate
+of the Polyandrion. This was the main artery of the city,
+and was named the Mesè (Μεσὴ) on account of its central
+position. Porticoes built by Eubulus, one of the senators who
+accompanied Constantine from Rome, lined both sides of the
+Mesè, and one side of the two other streets, adding at once to
+the convenience and beauty of the thoroughfares. The porticoes
+extending from the Augustaion to the Forum of Constantine were
+particularly handsome.<a id='r143' /><a href='#f143' class='c009'><sup>[143]</sup></a> Upon the summit of all the porticoes
+walks or terraces were laid out, adorned with countless statues,
+and commanding views of the city and of the surrounding hills
+and waters. Thus, the street scenery of Constantinople combined
+the attractions of Art and Nature.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The water-supply of the new capital was one of the most
+important undertakings of the day.<a id='r144' /><a href='#f144' class='c009'><sup>[144]</sup></a> While the water-works of
+Byzantium, as improved by Hadrian, continued to be used, they
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_38'>38</span>were extended, to render the supply of water more abundant.
+What exactly was done for that purpose is, however, a matter of
+conjecture.<a id='r145' /><a href='#f145' class='c009'><sup>[145]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>To the construction of the aqueducts, porticoes, and fortifications
+of New Rome sixty centenaria of gold (£2,500,000) were
+devoted.<a id='r146' /><a href='#f146' class='c009'><sup>[146]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The health of the city was consulted by building sewers far
+underground, and carrying them to the sea.<a id='r147' /><a href='#f147' class='c009'><sup>[147]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>With the view of drawing population to the new city, Constantine
+made the wheat hitherto sent from Egypt to Rome the
+appanage of Constantinople, and ordered the daily free distribution
+of eighty thousand loaves.<a id='r148' /><a href='#f148' class='c009'><sup>[148]</sup></a> The citizens were, moreover,
+granted the Jus Italicus,<a id='r149' /><a href='#f149' class='c009'><sup>[149]</sup></a> while, to attract families of distinction
+the emperor erected several mansions for presentation to Roman
+senators.<a id='r150' /><a href='#f150' class='c009'><sup>[150]</sup></a> House-building was encouraged by granting estates
+in Pontus and Asia, on the tenure of maintaining a residence in
+the new capital.<a id='r151' /><a href='#f151' class='c009'><sup>[151]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Furthermore, in virtue of its new dignity, the city was
+relieved from its subordination to the town of Heraclea,<a id='r152' /><a href='#f152' class='c009'><sup>[152]</sup></a> imposed
+since the time of Septimius Severus, and the members of
+the public council of New Rome were constituted into a Senate,
+with the right to bear the title of Clari.<a id='r153' /><a href='#f153' class='c009'><sup>[153]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>For municipal purposes the city was divided, like Rome, into
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_39'>39</span>Fourteen Regions,<a id='r154' /><a href='#f154' class='c009'><sup>[154]</sup></a> two of them being outside the circuit of the
+fortifications, viz. the Thirteenth, which comprised Sycæ (Galata),
+on the northern side of the Golden Horn, and the Fourteenth,
+constituting the suburb of Blachernæ, now the quarters of Egri
+Kapou and Aivan Serai.</p>

+<p class='c007'>The enduring character of the political reasons which had
+called the new capital into being, and the commercial advantages
+which its unique position commanded, favoured such an increase
+of population, that before eighty-five years had elapsed, the
+original limits of Constantinople proved too narrow for the crowds
+gathered within the walls.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>So numerous were the inhabitants already in 378, that the
+Goths, who then appeared before the city after the defeat of the
+Roman arms at Adrianople, abandoned all hope of capturing
+a stronghold which could draw upon such multitudes for its
+defence.<a id='r155' /><a href='#f155' class='c009'><sup>[155]</sup></a></p>

+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>Three years later, Athanaric<a id='r156' /><a href='#f156' class='c009'><sup>[156]</sup></a> marvelled at the variety of
+peoples which poured into the city, as they have ever since, like
+streams from different points into a common reservoir. Soon
+the corn fleets of Alexandria, Asia, Syria, and Phœnicia, were
+unable to provide the city with sufficient bread.<a id='r157' /><a href='#f157' class='c009'><sup>[157]</sup></a> The houses
+were packed so closely that the citizens, whether at home or
+abroad, felt confined and oppressed, while to walk the streets
+was dangerous, on account of the number of the beasts of burden
+that crowded the thoroughfares. Building-ground was in such
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_41'>41</span>demand that portions of the sea along the shores of the city had
+to be filled in, and the erections on that artificial land alone
+formed a considerable town.<a id='r158' /><a href='#f158' class='c009'><sup>[158]</sup></a> Sozomon goes so far as to affirm
+that Constantinople had grown more populous than Rome.<a id='r159' /><a href='#f159' class='c009'><sup>[159]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>This increase of the population is explained, in part, by the
+attractions which a capital, and especially one founded recently,
+offered alike to rich and poor as a place of residence and occupation.
+The ecclesiastical dignity of the city, when elevated to
+the second rank in the hierarchy of the Church, made it, moreover,
+the religious centre of the East, and drew a large body of
+ecclesiastics and devout persons within its bounds. The presence
+and incursions of the Goths and the Huns south of the Danube
+drove many of the original inhabitants of the invaded districts
+for shelter behind the fortifications of the city, and led multitudes
+of barbarians thither in search of employment or the pleasures
+of civilized life.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Then, it must be remembered that no capital is built in
+a day.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>To make the city worthy of its name involved great labour,
+and demanded an army of workmen of every description. There
+were many structures which Constantine had only commenced;
+the completion of the fortifications of the city had been left to
+Constantius; Julian found it necessary to construct a second
+harbour on the side of the Sea of Marmora; Valens was obliged
+to improve the water-works of the city by the erection of the fine
+aqueduct which spans the valley between the Fourth and Fifth
+Hills. And how large a number of hands such works required
+appears from the fact that when the aqueduct was repaired, in
+the ninth century, 6000 labourers were brought from the provinces
+to Constantinople for the purpose.<a id='r160' /><a href='#f160' class='c009'><sup>[160]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Under the rule of the Theodosian dynasty the improvement
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_42'>42</span>of the city went forward with leaps and bounds. Most of the
+public places and buildings enumerated by the <i>Notitia</i>, were
+constructed under the auspices of that House, and transformed
+the city. A vivid picture of the change is drawn by Themistius,<a id='r161' /><a href='#f161' class='c009'><sup>[161]</sup></a>
+who knew all the phases through which Constantinople had passed,
+from the reign of Constantius to that of Theodosius the Great.
+“No longer,” exclaims the orator, as he viewed the altered
+appearance of things around him, “is the vacant ground in the
+city more extensive than that occupied by buildings; nor are we
+cultivating more territory within our walls than we inhabit; the
+beauty of the city is not, as heretofore, scattered over it in patches,
+but covers its whole area like a robe woven to the very fringe.
+The city gleams with gold and porphyry. It has a (new) Forum,
+named after the emperor; it owns Baths, Porticoes, Gymnasia;
+and its former extremity is now its centre. Were Constantine
+to see the capital he founded he would behold a glorious and
+splendid scene, not a bare and empty void; he would find it
+fair, not with apparent, but with real beauty.” The mansions
+of the rich, the orator continues, had become larger and more
+sumptuous; the suburbs had expanded; the place “was full of
+carpenters, builders, decorators, and artisans of every description,
+and might fitly be called a work-shop of magnificence.” “Should
+the zeal of the emperor to adorn the city continue,” adds Themistius,
+in prophetic strain, “a wider circuit will be demanded,
+and the question will arise whether the city added to Constantinople
+by Theodosius is not more splendid than the city which
+Constantine added to Byzantium.”</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The growth of the capital went on under Arcadius, with the
+result that early in the reign of his son, the younger Theodosius,
+the enlargement of the city limits, foreseen by Themistius, was
+carried into effect.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_43'>43</span>But this extension of the boundaries was not made simply
+to suit the convenience of a large population. It was required
+also by the need of new bulwarks. Constantinople called for
+more security, as well as for more room. The barbarians were
+giving grave reasons for disquiet; Rome had been captured by
+the Goths; the Huns had crossed the Danube, and though
+repelled, still dreamed of carrying their conquests wherever the
+sun shone. It was, indeed, time for the Empire to gird on its
+whole armour.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Fortunately for the eastern portion of the Roman world,
+Anthemius, the statesman at the head of the Government for six
+years during the minority of Theodosius II., was eminently
+qualified for his position by lofty character, distinguished ability,
+and long experience in the public service. When appointed
+Prætorian Prefect of the East, in 405, by the Emperor Arcadius,
+Chrysostom remarked that the appointment conferred more
+honour on the office than upon Anthemius himself; and the
+ecclesiastical historian Socrates extols the prefect as “one of the
+wisest men of the age.”<a id='r162' /><a href='#f162' class='c009'><sup>[162]</sup></a> Proceeding, therefore, to do all in his
+power to promote the security of the State, Anthemius cleared the
+Balkan Peninsula of the hostile Huns under Uldin, driving them
+north of the Danube. Then, to prevent the return of the enemy,
+he placed a permanent flotilla of 250 vessels on that river, and
+strengthened the fortifications of the cities in Illyria; and to
+crown the system of defence, he made Constantinople a mighty
+citadel. The enlargement and refortification of the city was thus
+part of a comprehensive and far-seeing plan to equip the Roman
+State in the East for the impending desperate struggle with
+barbarism; and of all the services which Anthemius rendered,
+the most valuable and enduring was the addition he made to the
+military importance of the capital. The bounds he assigned to
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_44'>44</span>the city fixed, substantially, her permanent dimensions, and
+behind the bulwarks he raised—improved and often repaired,
+indeed, by his successors—Constantinople acted her great part in
+the history of the world.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The erection and repair of the fortifications of a city was an
+undertaking which all citizens were required to assist, in one
+form or another. On that point the laws were very stringent,
+and no rank or privilege exempted any one from the obligation
+to promote the work.<a id='r163' /><a href='#f163' class='c009'><sup>[163]</sup></a> One-third of the annual land-tax of the
+city could be drawn upon to defray the outlay, all expenses
+above that amount being met by requisitions laid upon the
+inhabitants. The work of construction was entrusted to the
+Factions, as several inscriptions on the walls testify. In 447,
+when the Theodosian fortifications were repaired and extended,
+the Blues and the Greens furnished, between them, sixteen
+thousand labourers for the undertaking.<a id='r164' /><a href='#f164' class='c009'><sup>[164]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The stone employed upon the fortifications is tertiary
+limestone, brought from the neighbourhood of Makrikeui,
+where the hollows and mounds formed in quarrying are still
+visible. The bricks used are from 1 foot 1 inch to 1 foot 2
+inches square, and 2 inches thick. They are sometimes stamped
+with the name of their manufacturer or donor, and occasionally
+bear the name of the contemporary emperor, and the indiction
+in which they were made. Mortar, mixed with powdered brick,
+was employed in large quantities, lest it should dry without
+taking hold,<a id='r165' /><a href='#f165' class='c009'><sup>[165]</sup></a> and bound the masonry into a solid mass, hard
+as rock.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The wall of Anthemius was erected in 413,<a id='r166' /><a href='#f166' class='c009'><sup>[166]</sup></a> the fifth year of
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_45'>45</span>Theodosius II., then about twelve years of age, and is now
+represented by the inner wall in the fortifications that extend
+along the west of the city, from the Sea of Marmora to the ruins
+of the Byzantine Palace, known as Tekfour Serai. The new city
+limits were thus placed at a distance of one mile to one mile and
+a half west of the Wall of Constantine.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>This change in the position of the landward line of defence
+involved the extension likewise of the walls along the two shores
+of the city; but though that portion of the work must have been
+included in the plan of Anthemius, it was not executed till after
+his day. As we shall find, the new seaboard of the capital was
+fortified a quarter of a century later, in 439, under the direction
+of the Prefect Cyrus, while Theodosius II. was still upon the
+throne.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The bulwarks of Anthemius saved the city from attack by
+Attila. They were too formidable for him to venture to assail
+them.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>But they suffered soon at the hands of the power which was
+to inflict more injury upon the fortifications of Constantinople
+than any other foe. In 447, only thirty-four years after their
+construction, the greater portion of the new walls, with fifty-seven
+towers, was overthrown by a series of violent earthquakes.<a id='r167' /><a href='#f167' class='c009'><sup>[167]</sup></a>
+The disaster was particularly inopportune at the moment it
+occurred, for already in that year Attila had defeated the
+armies of Theodosius in three successive engagements, ravaged
+with fire and sword the provinces of Macedonia and Thrace, and
+come as near to Constantinople as Athyras (Buyuk Tchekmedjè).
+He had dictated an ignominious treaty of peace, exacting the
+cession of territory south of the Danube, the payment of an
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_46'>46</span>indemnity of 6000 pounds of gold, and the increase of the annual
+tribute paid to him by the Eastern Empire from 700 pounds of
+gold to 2100.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The crisis was, however, met with splendid energy by Constantine,
+then Prætorian Prefect of the East, and under his
+direction, as Marcellinus Comes affirms, the walls were restored
+in less than three months after their overthrow.<a id='r168' /><a href='#f168' class='c009'><sup>[168]</sup></a> But besides
+restoring the shattered bulwarks of his predecessor, Constantine
+seized the opportunity to render the city a much stronger fortress
+than even Anthemius had made it. Accordingly, another wall,
+with a broad and deep moat before it, was erected in front of
+the Wall of Anthemius, to place the city behind three lines of
+defence. The walls were flanked by 192 towers, while the
+ground between the two walls, and that between the Outer Wall
+and the Moat, provided room for the action of large bodies of
+troops. These five portions of the fortifications rose tier above
+tier, and combined to form a barricade 190-207 feet thick, and
+over 100 feet high.<a id='r169' /><a href='#f169' class='c009'><sup>[169]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>As an inscription<a id='r170' /><a href='#f170' class='c009'><sup>[170]</sup></a> upon the fortifications proclaimed, this
+was a wall indeed, τὸ καὶ τεῖχος ὄντως—a wall which, so long as
+ordinary courage survived and the modes of ancient warfare
+were not superseded, made Constantinople impregnable, and
+behind which civilization defied the assaults of barbarism for
+a thousand years.</p>

+
+<p class='c008'>But the question of the time occupied in the reconstruction
+of the walls is not the only difficulty raised by these inscriptions.
+They present a question also as regards the official under whose

+This is a serious discrepancy, and authorities are not agreed in
+their mode of dealing with it. Some have proposed to remove
+the difficulty by the simple expedient of identifying Constantine
+and Cyrus;<a id='r175' /><a href='#f175' class='c009'><sup>[175]</sup></a> while others maintain a distinction of persons, and

+refer, respectively, to different occasions on which the walls
+were repaired.<a id='r176' /><a href='#f176' class='c009'><sup>[176]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Cyrus was one of the most conspicuous figures in the
+history of the city during the reign of Theodosius II.<a id='r177' /><a href='#f177' class='c009'><sup>[177]</sup></a> On
+account of his talents and integrity he held the office of
+Prætorian Prefect, and that of Prefect of the City, for four
+years, making himself immensely popular by the character of
+his administration. During his prefecture, in 439, the new
+walls along the shores of the city were constructed. The fires
+and earthquakes, moreover, which devastated Constantinople in
+the earlier half of the fifth century, afforded him ample opportunity
+for carrying out civic improvements, and he was to be
+seen constantly driving about the city in his chariot to inspect
+the public buildings in course of erection, and to push forward
+their completion. Among other works, he restored the great
+Bath of Achilles, which had been destroyed in the fire of 433.<a id='r178' /><a href='#f178' class='c009'><sup>[178]</sup></a>
+To him also is ascribed the introduction of the practice of

+the former by issuing his decrees in Greek, a practice which
+made the conservative Lydus style him ironically, “Our
+Demosthenes.”<a id='r181' /><a href='#f181' class='c009'><sup>[181]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>But in the midst of all his success, Cyrus remained self-possessed
+and sober-minded. “I do not like Fortune, when
+she smiles much,”<a id='r182' /><a href='#f182' class='c009'><sup>[182]</sup></a> he was accustomed to say; and at length
+the tide of his prosperity turned. Taking his seat one day in
+the Hippodrome, he was greeted with a storm of applause.
+“Constantine,” the vast assembly shouted, “founded the city;
+Cyrus restored it.” For a subject to be so popular was
+a crime. Theodosius took umbrage at the ovation accorded
+to the renovator of the city, and Cyrus was dismissed from
+office, deprived of his property, forced to enter the Church, and
+sent to Smyrna to succeed four bishops who had perished at the
+hands of brigands. Upon his arrival in that city on Christmas
+Day he found his people ill-prepared to receive him, so indignant
+were they that a man still counted a heathen and a heretic
+should have been appointed the shepherd of their souls. But a
+short allocution, which Cyrus delivered in honour of the festival,
+disarmed the opposition to him, and he spent the last years of
+his life in the diocese, undisturbed by political turmoils and
+unmolested by robbers.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Returning to the question of the identity of Cyrus with the
+Prefect Constantine above mentioned, the strongest argument in
+favour of that identity is the fact that, commencing with
+Theophanes, who flourished in the latter part of the eighth
+century, all historians who refer to the fortification of the city
+under Theodosius II. ascribe the work to Cyrus. That they
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_50'>50</span>should be mistaken on this point, it may be urged, is extremely
+improbable. On this view, the occurrence of the name Constantine
+instead of Cyrus in the inscriptions and in Marcellinus
+Comes, is explained by the supposition that the former name
+was the one which Cyrus assumed, as usual under such circumstances,
+after his conversion to the Christian faith.<a id='r183' /><a href='#f183' class='c009'><sup>[183]</sup></a> But
+surely any name which Cyrus acquired after his dismissal from
+office could not be employed as his designation in documents
+anterior to his fall. Perhaps a better explanation is that Cyrus
+always had both names, one used habitually, the other rarely,
+and that the latter appears in the inscriptions because more
+suited than the former to the versification in which they are
+cast. This, however, does not explain why Marcellinus Comes
+prefers the name Constantine.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>On the other hand, the proposed identification of Cyrus and
+Constantine is open to serious objections. In the first place,
+not till the eighth century is the name of Cyrus associated with
+the land walls of Constantinople. Earlier historians,<a id='r184' /><a href='#f184' class='c009'><sup>[184]</sup></a> when speaking
+of Cyrus and extolling his services, say nothing as to his
+having been concerned in the fortification of the city in 447.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the next place, the information of Theophanes and his
+followers does not seem based upon a thorough investigation of
+the subject. These writers ignore the fact that under Theodosius
+II. the land walls were built on two occasions; they ascribe to
+Cyrus everything done in the fifth century in the way of
+enlarging and fortifying the capital, and are silent as regards the
+connection of the great Anthemius with that work.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The only Byzantine author later than the fifth century who
+recalls the services of Anthemius is Nicephorus Callistus,<a id='r185' /><a href='#f185' class='c009'><sup>[185]</sup></a> and
+even he represents Cyrus as the associate of that illustrious
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_51'>51</span>prefect. If such inaccuracies do not render the testimony of
+Theophanes and subsequent historians worthless, they certainly
+make one ask whether these writers were not misled by the
+great fame of Cyrus on the ground of other achievements, and
+especially on account of his share in building the walls along
+the shores of the city in 439, to ascribe to him a work which
+was really performed by the more obscure Constantine.</p>
+<h3 class='c010'>The Inner Wall. <br /> Τὸ κάστρον τὸ μέγα:<a id='r186' /><a href='#f186' class='c009'><sup>[186]</sup></a> Τὸ μέγα τεῖχος.<a id='r187' /><a href='#f187' class='c009'><sup>[187]</sup></a></h3>
+<p class='c007'>The Inner Wall was the main bulwark of the capital. It
+stood on a higher level than the Outer Wall, and was, at the
+same time, loftier, thicker, and flanked by stronger towers. In
+construction it was a mass of concrete faced on both sides with
+blocks of limestone, squared and carefully fitted; while six
+brick courses, each containing five layers of bricks, were laid at
+intervals through the thickness of the wall to bind the structure
+more firmly.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The wall rises some 30-½ feet above the present exterior
+ground-level, and about 40 feet above the level within the
+city, with a thickness varying from 15-½ feet near the base to
+13-½ feet at the summit. The summit had along its outer edge
+a battlement, 4 feet 8 inches high, and was reached by flights
+of steps, placed generally beside the gates, and set at right angles
+to the wall, upon ramps of masonry.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The ninety-six towers, now battered and ruined by weather,
+war, and earthquakes, which once guarded this wall, stood from
+175 to 181 feet apart, and were from 57 to 60 feet high, with
+a projection of 18 to 34 feet. As many of them are reconstructions
+and belong to different periods, they exhibit various
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_52'>52</span>forms and different styles of workmanship. Most of them are
+square; others are hexagonal, or heptagonal, or octagonal.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>While their structure resembles that of the wall, they are
+nevertheless distinct buildings, in compliance with the rule
+laid down by military engineers, that a tower should not be
+bound in construction with the curtain of the wall behind it.<a id='r188' /><a href='#f188' class='c009'><sup>[188]</sup></a>
+Thus two buildings differing in weight could settle at different
+rates without breaking apart along the line of junction.
+As an additional precaution a relieving arch was frequently
+inserted where the sides of the tower impinged on the wall.<a id='r189' /><a href='#f189' class='c009'><sup>[189]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>A tower was usually divided by wooden or vaulted floors into
+two chambers. Towers with three chambers, like the Tower of
+Basil and Constantine at the southern extremity of the wall,
+and the Soulou Kaleh beside the Lycus, were rare. The lower
+chamber was entered from the city through a large archway.
+Occasionally, it communicated also with the terrace between the
+two walls by a postern, situated as a rule, for the sake of concealment
+or easier defence, at the angle formed by the tower
+and the curtain-wall. Upon these entrances the chamber
+depended for light and air, as its walls had few, if any, loopholes,
+lest the tower should be weakened where most exposed to
+missiles.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Generally, the lower chamber had no means of communication
+with the story above it; at other times a circular aperture,
+about 7-½ feet in diameter, is found in the crown of the vaulted
+floor between the chambers.</p>

+<p>Portion of the Theodosian Walls (From Within the City).</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>The lower portion of a tower had evidently little to do
+directly with the defence of the city, but served mainly as a
+store-room or guard-house. There, soldiers returning home or
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_53'>53</span>leaving for the field were allowed to take up their temporary
+quarters.<a id='r190' /><a href='#f190' class='c009'><sup>[190]</sup></a> The proprietors of the ground upon which the towers
+stood were also allowed to use them,<a id='r191' /><a href='#f191' class='c009'><sup>[191]</sup></a> but this permission referred,
+doubtless, only to the lower chambers, and that in time of peace.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The upper chamber was entered from the parapet-walk
+through an arched gateway, and was well lighted on its three
+other sides by comparatively large windows, commanding wide
+views, and permitting the occupants to fire freely upon an
+attacking force. Flights of steps, similar to the ramps that led
+to the summit of the wall, conducted to the battlemented roof of
+the towers. There, the engines that hurled stones and Greek fire
+upon the enemy were placed;<a id='r192' /><a href='#f192' class='c009'><sup>[192]</sup></a> and there, sentinels watched the
+western horizon, day and night, keeping themselves awake at
+night by shouting to one another along the line.<a id='r193' /><a href='#f193' class='c009'><sup>[193]</sup></a></p>
+<h3 class='c010'>The Inner Terrace. <br /> Ὁ Περίβολος.<a id='r194' /><a href='#f194' class='c009'><sup>[194]</sup></a></h3>
+<p class='c007'>The Inner Embankment, or Terrace, between the two walls
+was 50 to 64 feet broad. It was named the Peribolos, and
+accommodated the troops which defended the Outer Wall.</p>
+<h3 class='c010'>The Outer Wall. <br /> Τὸ ἔξω τεῖχος:<a id='r195' /><a href='#f195' class='c009'><sup>[195]</sup></a> τὸ ἔξω κάστρον:<a id='r196' /><a href='#f196' class='c009'><sup>[196]</sup></a> τὸ μικρόν τεῖχος.<a id='r197' /><a href='#f197' class='c009'><sup>[197]</sup></a></h3>
+<p class='c007'>The Outer Wall is from 2 to 6-½ feet thick, rising some 10
+feet above the present level of the peribolos,<a id='r198' /><a href='#f198' class='c009'><sup>[198]</sup></a> and about 27-½
+feet above the present level of the terrace between the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_54'>54</span>Outer Wall and the Moat. Its lower portion is a solid
+wall, which retains the embankment of the peribolos. The
+upper portion is built, for the most part, in arches, faced
+on the outer side with hewn blocks of stone, and is frequently
+supported by a series of arches in concrete, and sometimes,
+even, by two series of such arches, built against the rear.
+Besides strengthening the wall, these supporting arches permitted
+the construction of a battlement and parapet-walk on
+the summit, and, moreover, formed chambers, 8-½ feet deep,
+where troops could be quartered, or remain under cover, while
+engaging the enemy through the loophole in the western wall
+of each chamber.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The towers which flanked this wall<a id='r199' /><a href='#f199' class='c009'><sup>[199]</sup></a> were much smaller than
+those of the inner line. They are some 30 to 35 feet high, with
+a projection of about 16 feet beyond the curtain-wall. They
+alternate with the great towers to the rear, thus putting both
+walls more completely under cover. It would seem as if the
+towers of this line were intended to be alternately square and
+crescent in shape, so frequently do these forms succeed one
+another. That this arrangement was not always maintained
+is due, probably, to changes made in the course of repairs.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Each tower had a chamber on the level of the peribolos,
+provided with small windows. The lower portion of most of the
+towers was generally a solid substructure; but in the case of
+square towers it was often a small chamber reached from the
+Outer Terrace through a small postern, and leading to a subterranean
+passage running towards the city. These passages
+may either have permitted secret communication with different
+parts of the fortifications, or formed channels in which water-pipes
+were laid.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_55'>55</span>Notwithstanding the comparative inferiority of the Outer
+Wall, it was an important line of defence, for it sheltered the
+troops which engaged the enemy at close quarters. Both in the
+siege of 1422,<a id='r200' /><a href='#f200' class='c009'><sup>[200]</sup></a> and in that of 1453,<a id='r201' /><a href='#f201' class='c009'><sup>[201]</sup></a> the most desperate fighting

+<p class='c007'>The embankment or terrace between the Outer Wall and
+the Moat is some 61 feet broad. While affording room for the
+action of troops under cover of the battlement upon the scarp
+of the Moat,<a id='r203' /><a href='#f203' class='c009'><sup>[203]</sup></a> its chief function was to widen the distance
+between the besiegers and the besieged.</p>
+<h3 class='c010'>The Moat. <br /> Τάφρος: σοῦδα.<a id='r204' /><a href='#f204' class='c009'><sup>[204]</sup></a></h3>
+<p class='c007'>The Moat is over 61 feet wide. Its original depth, which
+doubtless varied with the character of the ground it traversed,
+cannot be determined until excavations are allowed, for the
+market-gardens and <i>débris</i> which now occupy it have raised the
+level of the bed. In front of the Golden Gate, where it was
+probably always deepest, on account of the importance of that
+entrance, its depth is still 22 feet. The masonry of the scarp and
+counterscarp is 5 feet thick, and was supported by buttresses to
+withstand the pressure of the elevated ground on either side of
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_56'>56</span>the Moat. The battlement upon the scarp formed a breastwork
+about 6-½ feet high.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>At several points along its course the Moat is crossed by
+low walls, dividing it into so many sections or compartments.
+They are generally opposite a tower of the Outer or Inner Wall,
+and taper from the base to a sharp edge along the summit, to
+prevent their being used as bridges by an enemy. On their
+southern side, where the ground falls away, they are supported
+by buttresses.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Dr. Paspates<a id='r205' /><a href='#f205' class='c009'><sup>[205]</sup></a> was the first to call attention to these structures,
+and to him, also, belongs the credit of having thrown
+some light upon their use. They were, in his opinion, aqueducts,
+and dams or batardeaux, by means of which water was
+conveyed to the Moat, and kept in position there. But this
+service, Dr. Paspates believed, was performed by them only in
+case of a siege, when they were broken open, and allowed to run
+into the Moat. At other times, when no hostile attack was
+apprehended, they carried water across the Moat into the city,
+for the supply of the ordinary needs of the population.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>That many of these structures, if not all, were aqueducts
+admits of no doubt, for some have been found to contain
+earthenware water-pipes, while others of them still carry into
+the city water brought by underground conduits from the hills
+on the west of the fortifications; and that they were dams seems
+the only explanation of the buttresses built against their lower
+side, as though to resist the pressure of water descending from
+a higher level.</p>

+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>Certainly Dr. Paspates’ view has very much in its favour. It
+is, however, not altogether free from difficulties. To begin with,
+the idea that the Moat was flooded only during a siege does
+not agree with the representations of Manuel Chrysolaras and
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_57'>57</span>Bondelmontius on that point. The former writer, in his famous
+description of Constantinople, speaks as if the Moat was always
+full of water. According to him, it contained so much water
+that the city seemed to stand upon the sea-shore, even when
+viewed from the side of the land.<a id='r206' /><a href='#f206' class='c009'><sup>[206]</sup></a> The Italian traveller describes
+the Moat as a “vallum aquarum surgentium.”<a id='r207' /><a href='#f207' class='c009'><sup>[207]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Are these statements mere rhetorical flourishes? If not,
+then water must have been introduced into the Moat by some
+other means than by the aqueducts which traverse it, for these,
+as Dr. Paspates himself admits, ordinarily took water into the
+city. Unfortunately, it is impossible, under present circumstances,
+to examine the Moat thoroughly, or to explore the
+territory without the city to discover underground conduits, and
+thus settle the question at issue. One can only ask, as a
+matter for future investigation, whether, on the view that the
+Moat was always flooded, the water required for the purpose
+was not brought by underground conduits that emptied themselves
+a little above the bed of the Moat. The mouth of what
+appears to be such a conduit is seen in the counterscarp of the
+Moat immediately below the fifth aqueduct to the south of Top
+Kapoussi. If water was brought thus to the elevation of Top
+Kapoussi and Edirnè Kapoussi, sufficient pressure to flood the
+rest of the Moat would be obtained.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>But, in the next place, it must be added that objections can
+be urged against the opinion that the Moat was flooded even in
+time of war. The necessary quantity of water could ill be
+spared by a city which required all available water for the
+wants of its inhabitants, especially at the season of the year
+when sieges were conducted. Then, there is the fact that in
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_58'>58</span>the accounts we have of the sieges of the city, all contemporary
+historians are silent as to the presence of water in the Moat,
+notwithstanding frequent allusions to that part of the fortifications.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Furthermore, there are statements which imply the absence
+of water in the Moat during a siege. Pusculus, for instance,
+giving a minute account of the measures adopted in 1453 to
+place the city in a state of defence, refers to the deepening of
+the Moat, but says nothing about water in it. “Fossaque
+cavant, atque aggere terræ educto, muros forti munimine
+cingunt.”<a id='r208' /><a href='#f208' class='c009'><sup>[208]</sup></a> If water had been introduced into the Moat on
+this occasion, Pusculus could hardly have ignored the fact.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Again, in the Slavic account of the last siege of the city we
+are informed that the Greeks opened mines through the counterscarp
+of the Moat, to blow up the Turks who approached the
+fortifications: “Les assiégés pendant le jour combattaient les
+Turcs, et pendant la nuit descendaient dans les fossés, perçaient
+les murailles du fossé du côté des champs, minaient la terre sous
+le mur à beaucoup d’endroits, et remplissaient les mines de
+poudre et de vases remplis de poudre.”<a id='r209' /><a href='#f209' class='c009'><sup>[209]</sup></a> If such action was
+possible, there could be no water in the Moat.</p>

+<h3 class='c010'>The Golden Gate.</h3>
+<p class='c007'>The Theodosian Walls were pierced by ten gates, and by
+several small posterns.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Of the former, some led only to the different parts of the
+fortifications, serving exclusively the convenience of the garrison.
+These may be styled Military Gates. Others connected the
+capital, moreover, with the outside world by means of bridges
+thrown across the Moat,<a id='r210' /><a href='#f210' class='c009'><sup>[210]</sup></a> and constituted the Public Gates of the
+city. The two series followed one another in alternate order,
+the military entrances being known by numbers, the public
+entrances by proper names. Both were double gateways, as
+they pierced the two walls. The inner gateway, being the
+principal one, was guarded by two large towers, which projected
+far beyond the curtain-wall to obtain a good flank fire, and to
+command at the same time the outer gateway. Thus also the
+passage from the area between the gateways to the peribolos,
+on either side, was rendered exceedingly narrow and capable
+of easy defence. In view of its great importance, the outer
+gateway of the Golden Gate also was defended by two towers,
+projecting from the rear of the wall towards the city.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_60'>60</span>For the sake of security against surprise the posterns were
+few in number, and occurred chiefly in the great wall and its
+towers, leading to the peribolos. It is rare to find a postern in
+a tower of the Outer Wall opening on the parateichion.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Proceeding northwards from the Sea of Marmora, there is a
+postern immediately to the north of the first tower of the Inner
+Wall. It is an arched entrance, with the laureated monogram
+“ΧΡ.” inscribed above it.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The handsome gateway between the seventh and eighth
+towers north of the Sea of Marmora, Yedi Koulè Kapoussi, is
+the triumphal gate known, from the gilding upon it, as the Porta
+Aurea. Its identity cannot be questioned, for the site and
+aspect of the entrance correspond exactly to the description

+<p class='c012'>The history of our knowledge of this inscription is curious.
+There is no mention made of the legend by any writer before
+1453, unless Radulphus de Diceto alludes to it when he
+states that in 1189 an old resident of the city pointed a Templar
+to certain words upon the Golden Gate, foretelling the capture

+one who speaks of having seen the inscription in its place.<a id='r215' /><a href='#f215' class='c009'><sup>[215]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The inscription is cited first by Sirmondi<a id='r216' /><a href='#f216' class='c009'><sup>[216]</sup></a> and Du Cange,<a id='r217' /><a href='#f217' class='c009'><sup>[217]</sup></a>

+the metre. How Sirmondi and Du Cange, neither of whom
+ever visited Constantinople, became acquainted with the inscription
+does not appear.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Matters remained in this position until 1891, when the attention
+of Professor J. Strzygowski<a id='r218' /><a href='#f218' class='c009'><sup>[218]</sup></a> was arrested by certain holes

+had once borne an inscription, and here, Professor Strzygowski
+divined, was also the means by which the genuineness of the
+legend given by Sirmondi and Du Cange could be verified.
+Accordingly, a comparison between the arrangement of the holes
+on the arch and the forms of the letters in the legend was
+instituted. As several of the original voussoirs of the arch had
+been removed and replaced by others without holes in them,
+the comparison could not be complete; but so far as it was
+possible to proceed the correspondence was all that could be
+desired. Where H, for example, occurred in the inscription, the

+the holes are placed thus, ∴; where V came, their position is ∵;
+and so on, to an extent which verifies the inscription beyond
+dispute. Thus, also, it has been ascertained that the letters were
+of metal, probably gilt bronze, and that the words “Haec loca
+Thevdosivs decorat post fata Tyranni” stood on the western face
+of the arch, while the words “Avrea saecla gerit qvi portam
+constrvit avro” were found on the opposite side.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The preservation of the inscription is a matter of very great
+importance, for it furnishes valuable and interesting information
+as to the circumstances under which the Porta Aurea was
+erected. From the fact that the entrance is found in the
+Theodosian Walls it is natural to infer that the Porta Aurea
+was a contemporaneous building, and that the emperor extolled
+in the inscription is Theodosius II. But that inference is precluded
+by the statement that the arch was set up after the suppression
+of a usurper, <i>post fata tyranni</i>. For Theodosius II.
+was not called to suppress the usurpation of his imperial
+authority at any time during his reign, much less in 413, when
+the Wall of Anthemius, in which the Porta Aurea stands, was
+built. On the other hand, Theodosius the Great crushed two
+serious attempts to dispute his rule, first in 388, when he
+defeated Maximus, and again in 395, when he put down the
+rebellion of Eugenius. Hence, as Du Cange first pointed out,
+the Porta Aurea is a monument erected in the reign of Theodosius
+the Great, in honour of his victory over one of the
+rebels above mentioned. It could not, however, have been designed
+to commemorate the defeat of Eugenius, seeing that
+Theodosius never returned to Constantinople after that event,
+and died four months later in the city of Milan. It must,
+therefore, have been reared in honour of the victory over
+Maximus, a success which the conqueror regarded with feelings
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_63'>63</span>of peculiar satisfaction and pride, celebrating it by one triumphal
+entry into Rome, in the spring of 389, and by another into Constantinople,
+when he returned to the eastern capital in 391.<a id='r219' /><a href='#f219' class='c009'><sup>[219]</sup></a>
+Accordingly, the Porta Aurea was originally an Arch of Triumph,
+erected some time between 388 and 391, to welcome Theodosius
+the Great upon his return from his successful expedition against
+the formidable rebellion of Maximus in the West. It united
+with the Column of Theodosius in the Forum of Taurus, and
+the Column of Arcadius in the Forum on the Xerolophus, and
+the Obelisk in the Hippodrome,<a id='r220' /><a href='#f220' class='c009'><sup>[220]</sup></a> in perpetuating the memory
+of the great emperor’s warlike achievements.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In corroboration of the date thus assigned to the monument,
+it may be added that the only Imperial statue placed over the
+Porta Aurea was that of Theodosius the Great, while the group
+of elephants which formed one of the ornaments of the gate was
+supposed to represent the elephants attached to the car of that
+emperor on the occasion of his triumphal entry into the city.<a id='r221' /><a href='#f221' class='c009'><sup>[221]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>There is, however, an objection to this view concerning the
+age of the Porta Aurea, which, whatever its force, should not be
+overlooked in a full discussion of the subject. The inscription
+describes the monument as a gateway, “Qui portam construit
+auro.”<a id='r222' /><a href='#f222' class='c009'><sup>[222]</sup></a> But such a designation does not seem consistent with
+the fact that we have here a building which belongs to the age
+of Theodosius the Great, when the city walls in which the arch
+stands did not exist, as they are the work of his grandson.
+How could an isolated arch be, then, styled a gateway? Can
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_64'>64</span>the difficulty be removed by any other instance of a similar
+use of the term “Porta”? Or is the employment of the term in
+the case before us explained by the supposition that in the
+reign of Theodosius the Great the city had spread beyond
+the Constantinian Wall, and reached the line marked by the
+Porta Aurea, so that an arch at that point was practically an
+entrance into the city? May not that suburban district have
+been protected by some slight fortified works? Or was the
+Porta Aurea so named in anticipation of the fulfilment of the
+prediction of Themistius, that the growth of the city under Theodosius
+the Great would ere long necessitate the erection of new
+walls?<a id='r223' /><a href='#f223' class='c009'><sup>[223]</sup></a> Was it built in that emperor’s reign to indicate to a
+succeeding generation the line along which the new bulwarks of
+the capital should be built?</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Porta Aurea was the State Entrance into the capital,<a id='r224' /><a href='#f224' class='c009'><sup>[224]</sup></a>
+and was remarkable both for its architectural splendour and its
+military strength. It was built of large squared blocks of
+polished marble, fitted together without cement, and was flanked
+by two great towers constructed of the same material. Like the
+Triumphal Arch of Severus and that of Constantine at Rome, it
+had three archways, the central one being wider and loftier than
+those on either side.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The gates glittered with gold,<a id='r225' /><a href='#f225' class='c009'><sup>[225]</sup></a> and numerous statues

+
+<p class='c008'>So long as the inauguration of an emperor upon his accession

+
+<p class='c008'>Distinguished visitors to the Byzantine Court, also, were

+upon their arrival on a mission to Justin I.:<a id='r242' /><a href='#f242' class='c009'><sup>[242]</sup></a> here, in 708, Pope

+<p class='c008'>It was, however, on the return of an emperor to the city

+<p class='c008'>An Imperial triumphal procession<a id='r259' /><a href='#f259' class='c009'><sup>[259]</sup></a> was marshalled on the
+plain in front of the Golden Gate,<a id='r260' /><a href='#f260' class='c009'><sup>[260]</sup></a> and awaited there the arrival
+of the emperor, either from the Hebdomon or from the Palace of
+Blachernæ. The principal captives, divided into several
+companies, and guarded by bands of soldiers, led the march.
+Next followed the standards and weapons and other spoils of
+war. Then, seated on a magnificent white charger, came the
+emperor himself, arrayed in robes embroidered with gold and
+pearls, his crown on his head, his sceptre in his right hand, his
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_69'>69</span>victorious sword by his side. Close to him rode his son, or the
+Cæsar of the day, another resplendent figure of light, also on a
+white horse. Upon reaching the gate the victor might, like
+Theophilus, dismount for a few moments, and falling thrice upon
+his face, humbly acknowledge the Divine aid to which he owed
+the triumph of his arms. At length the Imperial <i>cortège</i> passed
+through the great archway. The civic authorities came forward
+and did homage, offering the conqueror a crown of gold and a
+laurel wreath, and accepting from him a rich largess in return;
+the Factions rent the air with shouts—“Glory to God, who restores
+our sovereigns to us, crowned with victory! Glory to God, who
+has magnified you, Emperors of the Romans! Glory to Thee,
+All-Holy Trinity, for we behold our Emperors victorious! Welcome,
+Victors, most valiant sovereigns!”<a id='r261' /><a href='#f261' class='c009'><sup>[261]</sup></a> And then the glittering
+procession wended its way to the Great Palace, through the
+dense crowds that packed the Mesè and the principal Fora of
+the city, all gay with banners, flowers, and evergreens.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Sometimes the emperor, as in the case of Heraclius,<a id='r262' /><a href='#f262' class='c009'><sup>[262]</sup></a> rode in a
+chariot instead of on horseback; or the occupant of the triumphal
+car might be, as on the occasion of the triumph of Zimisces, the
+Icon of the Virgin.<a id='r263' /><a href='#f263' class='c009'><sup>[263]</sup></a> Michael Palæologus entered the city on
+foot, walking as far as the Church of St. John Studius before he
+mounted his horse.<a id='r264' /><a href='#f264' class='c009'><sup>[264]</sup></a> On the occasion of the second triumph of
+Theophilus, the beautiful custom was introduced of making
+children take part in the ceremonial with wreaths of flowers.<a id='r265' /><a href='#f265' class='c009'><sup>[265]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>But besides serving as a State entrance into the city,
+the Porta Aurea was one of the strongest positions in the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_70'>70</span>fortifications.<a id='r266' /><a href='#f266' class='c009'><sup>[266]</sup></a> The four towers at its gateways, the deep moat
+in front, and the transverse walls across the peribolos on either
+hand, guarding approach from that direction, constituted a
+veritable citadel. Cantacuzene repaired it, and speaks of it as an
+almost impregnable acropolis, capable of being provisioned for
+three years, and strong enough to defy the whole city in time
+of civil strife.<a id='r267' /><a href='#f267' class='c009'><sup>[267]</sup></a> Hence the great difficulty he found in persuading
+the Latin garrison which held it on his behalf, in 1354, to
+surrender the place to his rival John VI. Palæologus.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Golden Gate, therefore, figures also in the military annals
+of Constantinople. In the reign of Anastasius I. it was the
+object of special attack by Vitalianus at the head of his Huns
+and Bulgarians.<a id='r268' /><a href='#f268' class='c009'><sup>[268]</sup></a> Repeated attempts were made upon it by the
+Saracens in the siege of 673-675.<a id='r269' /><a href='#f269' class='c009'><sup>[269]</sup></a> Crum stood before it in the
+reign of Leo the Armenian, and there he invoked the aid of his
+gods against the city, by offering human sacrifices and by the
+lustration of his army with sea-water in which he had bathed
+his feet.<a id='r270' /><a href='#f270' class='c009'><sup>[270]</sup></a> His demand to plant his spear in the gate put an
+end to the negotiations for peace. In 913 the Bulgarians, under
+their king Simeon, were again arrayed before the entrance.<a id='r271' /><a href='#f271' class='c009'><sup>[271]</sup></a>
+Here, also, in 1347, John Cantacuzene was admitted by his
+partisans.<a id='r272' /><a href='#f272' class='c009'><sup>[272]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>John Palæologus, upon receiving the surrender of the gate
+foolishly dismantled the towers, lest they should be turned
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_71'>71</span>against him, in the fickle political fortunes of the day.<a id='r273' /><a href='#f273' class='c009'><sup>[273]</sup></a> He did
+not, however, carry the work of destruction so far as to be
+unable to use the position as an “acropolis” when besieged, in
+1376, by his rebellious son, Andronicus.<a id='r274' /><a href='#f274' class='c009'><sup>[274]</sup></a> Later, when Sultan
+Bajazet threatened the city, an attempt was made to restore the
+towers, and even to increase the strength of this point in the
+fortifications.<a id='r275' /><a href='#f275' class='c009'><sup>[275]</sup></a> With materials taken from the churches of All
+Saints, the Forty Martyrs, and St. Mokius, the towers were
+rebuilt, and a fortress extending to the sea was erected within
+the city walls, similar to the Castle of the Seven Towers constructed
+afterwards by Mehemet the Conqueror, in 1457. Upon
+hearing of this action, Bajazet sent peremptory orders to John
+Palæologus to pull down the new fortifications, and compelled
+obedience by threatening to put out the eyes of Manuel, the heir
+to the throne, at that time a hostage at Brousa. The humiliation
+affected the emperor, then seriously ill, so keenly as to hasten his
+death. Subsequently, however, probably after the defeat of
+Bajazet by Tamerlane at Angora, the defences at the Golden
+Gate were restored; for the Russian pilgrim who was in Constantinople
+between 1435 and 1453 speaks of visiting the Castle of
+the Emperor Kalo Jean.<a id='r276' /><a href='#f276' class='c009'><sup>[276]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In 1390, Manuel II., with a small body of troops, entered
+the city by this gate and drove away his nephew John, who had
+usurped the throne.<a id='r277' /><a href='#f277' class='c009'><sup>[277]</sup></a> During the siege of 1453 the gate was
+defended by Manuel of Liguria with 200 men, and before it
+the Sultan planted a cannon and other engines of assault.<a id='r278' /><a href='#f278' class='c009'><sup>[278]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Between the second and third towers to the north of the
+Golden Gate is an entrance known at present, like the Porta
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_72'>72</span>Aurea, also by the name Yedi Koulè Kapoussi. Dr. Paspates
+thinks it is of Turkish origin.<a id='r279' /><a href='#f279' class='c009'><sup>[279]</sup></a> It has certainly undergone repair
+in Turkish times, as an inscription upon it in honour of Sultan
+Achmet III. testifies; but traces of Byzantine workmanship about
+the gate prove that it belongs to the period of the Empire;<a id='r280' /><a href='#f280' class='c009'><sup>[280]</sup></a> and
+this conclusion is supported by the consideration that, since the
+Porta Aurea was a State entrance, another gate was required in
+its immediate neighbourhood for the use of the public in this
+quarter of the capital. Hence the proximity of the two gateways.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Regarding the name of the entrance opinions differ. Some
+authorities regard the gate as the Porta Rhegiou (Ῥηγίου), the
+Gate of Rhegium,<a id='r281' /><a href='#f281' class='c009'><sup>[281]</sup></a> mentioned in the Greek Anthology.<a id='r282' /><a href='#f282' class='c009'><sup>[282]</sup></a> But
+this identification cannot be maintained, for the Porta Rhegiou
+was one of two entrances which bore an inscription in honour
+of Theodosius II. and the Prefect Constantine, and both those
+entrances, as will appear in the sequel, stood elsewhere in the line
+of the fortifications.<a id='r283' /><a href='#f283' class='c009'><sup>[283]</sup></a></p>

+
+<p class='c008'>The gate went, probably, by the designation of the Golden
+Gate,<a id='r284' /><a href='#f284' class='c009'><sup>[284]</sup></a> near which it stands, just as it now bears the name given
+to the latter entrance since the Turkish Conquest. A common
+name for gates so near each other was perfectly natural; and on
+this view certain incidents in the history of the Golden Gate
+become more intelligible. For instance: when Basil, the founder
+of the Macedonian dynasty, reached Constantinople in his early
+youth, a homeless adventurer in search of fortune, it is related that
+he entered the city about sunset through the Golden Gate, and
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_73'>73</span>laid himself down to sleep on the steps of the adjoining Monastery
+of St. Diomed.<a id='r285' /><a href='#f285' class='c009'><sup>[285]</sup></a> If the only Golden Gate were the Porta Aurea
+strictly so called, it is difficult to understand how the poor wayfarer
+was admitted by an entrance reserved for the emperor’s
+use; whereas the matter becomes clear if that name designated
+also an adjoining public gate. Again, when the historian
+Nicetas Choniates,<a id='r286' /><a href='#f286' class='c009'><sup>[286]</sup></a> accompanied by his family and some friends,
+left the city five days after its capture by the Crusaders in 1204,
+he made his way out, according to his own statement, by the
+Golden Gate. In this case also, it does not seem probable that
+the captors of the city would have allowed a gate of such military
+importance as the Porta Aurea to be freely used by a company
+of fugitives. The escape appears more feasible if the Golden
+Gate to which Nicetas refers was the humbler entrance in the
+neighbourhood of the Porta Aurea.</p>

+τοῦ Δευτέρου.<a id='r287' /><a href='#f287' class='c009'><sup>[287]</sup></a> Its identity is established by its position in the
+order of the gates; for between it and the Fifth Military Gate,
+regarding the situation of which there can be no doubt,<a id='r288' /><a href='#f288' class='c009'><sup>[288]</sup></a> two
+military gates intervene. It must therefore be itself the second
+of that series of entrances.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Hence, it follows that the quarter of the city known as the
+Deuteron (τὸ Δεύτερον) was the district to the rear of this gate.
+This fact can be proved also independently by the following
+indications. The district in question was without the Walls of
+Constantine;<a id='r289' /><a href='#f289' class='c009'><sup>[289]</sup></a> it lay to the west of the Exokionion, the Palaia
+Porta, and the Cistern of Mokius;<a id='r290' /><a href='#f290' class='c009'><sup>[290]</sup></a> it was, on the one hand,
+near the last street of the city,<a id='r291' /><a href='#f291' class='c009'><sup>[291]</sup></a> the street leading to the Golden
+Gate, and, on the other, contained the Gate Melantiados,<a id='r292' /><a href='#f292' class='c009'><sup>[292]</sup></a> now
+Selivri Kapoussi.<a id='r293' /><a href='#f293' class='c009'><sup>[293]</sup></a> Consequently, it was the district behind the
+portion of the walls in which the gate before us is situated. This
+in turn supports the identification of the gate as that of the
+Deuteron. It is the finest and largest of the military gates, and
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_75'>75</span>may sometimes have served as a public gate in the period of
+the Empire, as it has since.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Of the churches in the Deuteron quarter, the most noted
+were the Church of the SS. Notarii, attributed to Chrysostom,<a id='r294' /><a href='#f294' class='c009'><sup>[294]</sup></a>
+and the Church of St. Anna, a foundation of Justinian the
+Great.<a id='r295' /><a href='#f295' class='c009'><sup>[295]</sup></a> Others of less importance were dedicated respectively
+to St. Timothy,<a id='r296' /><a href='#f296' class='c009'><sup>[296]</sup></a> St. George,<a id='r297' /><a href='#f297' class='c009'><sup>[297]</sup></a> St. Theodore,<a id='r298' /><a href='#f298' class='c009'><sup>[298]</sup></a> and St. Paul the
+Patriarch.<a id='r299' /><a href='#f299' class='c009'><sup>[299]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The next public entrance (Selivri Kapoussi) is situated
+between the thirteenth and fourteenth towers north of the
+Gate of the Deuteron. Its present name appears shortly before
+the Turkish Conquest (πύλη τῆς Σηλυβρίας),<a id='r300' /><a href='#f300' class='c009'><sup>[300]</sup></a> and alludes to the
+fact that the entrance is at the head of the road to Selivria; but
+its earlier and more usual designation was the Gate of the Pegè,
+<i>i.e.</i> the Spring (Πύλη τῆς Πηγῆς),<a id='r301' /><a href='#f301' class='c009'><sup>[301]</sup></a> because it led to the celebrated
+Holy Spring (now Baloukli), about half a mile to the
+west. This name for the entrance is found in the inscription
+placed on the back of the southern gateway tower, in commemoration
+of repairs made in the year 1433 or 1438.<a id='r302' /><a href='#f302' class='c009'><sup>[302]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The gate possessed considerable importance owing to its
+proximity to the Holy Spring,<a id='r303' /><a href='#f303' class='c009'><sup>[303]</sup></a> which, with its healing waters
+and shrines, its cypress groves, meadows, and delightful air,
+formed one of the most popular resorts in the neighbourhood of
+the city.<a id='r304' /><a href='#f304' class='c009'><sup>[304]</sup></a> There the emperors had a palace and hunting park,
+to which they often retired for recreation, especially in the
+spring of the year. On the Festival of the Ascension the
+emperor visited the “Life-giving Pegè” in state, sometimes
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_76'>76</span>riding thither through the city, at other times proceeding in his
+barge as far as the Marmora extremity of the walls, and then
+mounting horse for the rest of the way.<a id='r305' /><a href='#f305' class='c009'><sup>[305]</sup></a> But in either case, the
+Imperial <i>cortége</i> came up to this gate, and was received there by
+the body of household troops called the Numeri. It was on
+returning from such a visit to the Pegè that the Emperor
+Nicephorus Phocas was mobbed and stoned, as he rode
+from the Forum of Constantine to the Great Palace beside the
+Hippodrome.<a id='r306' /><a href='#f306' class='c009'><sup>[306]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The gate is memorable in history as the entrance through
+which, in 1261, Alexius Strategopoulos, the general of Michael
+Palæologus, penetrated into the city,<a id='r307' /><a href='#f307' class='c009'><sup>[307]</sup></a> and brought the ill-starred
+Latin Empire of Constantinople to an end. For greater
+security the Latins had built up the entrance; but a band of
+the assailants, aided by friends within the fortifications, climbed
+over the walls, killed the drowsy guards, broke down the barricade,
+and flung the gates open for the restoration of the
+Greek power. By this gate, in 1376, Andronicus entered, after
+besieging the city for thirty-two days, and usurped the throne of
+his father, John VI. Palæologus.<a id='r308' /><a href='#f308' class='c009'><sup>[308]</sup></a> In the siege of 1422 Sultan
+Murad pitched his tent within the grounds of the Church of the
+Pegè;<a id='r309' /><a href='#f309' class='c009'><sup>[309]</sup></a> while during the siege of 1453 a battery of three guns
+played against the walls in the vicinity of this entrance.<a id='r310' /><a href='#f310' class='c009'><sup>[310]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>There is reason to think that the gate styled Porta Melantiados
+(Μελαντιάδος)<a id='r311' /><a href='#f311' class='c009'><sup>[311]</sup></a> and Pylè Melandesia (Μελανδησία),<a id='r312' /><a href='#f312' class='c009'><sup>[312]</sup></a>
+should be identified with the Gate of the Pegè. Hitherto, indeed,
+the Porta Melantiados has been identified with the next public
+gate, Yeni Mevlevi Haneh Kapoussi;<a id='r313' /><a href='#f313' class='c009'><sup>[313]</sup></a> but that view runs counter
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_77'>77</span>to the fact that the Porta Melantiados stood in the Deuteron,<a id='r314' /><a href='#f314' class='c009'><sup>[314]</sup></a>
+whereas the next public gate was, we shall find, in the quarter
+of the city called, after the Third Military Gate, the Triton (τὸ

+(Buyuk Tchekmedjè) on the road to Selivria. The town is

+<p class='c008'>At the gate Porta Melantiados, Chrysaphius, the minister

+
+<p class='c008'>The Third Military Gate is but a short distance from the
+Gate of the Pegè, being situated between the fourth and fifth
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_78'>78</span>towers to the north. To the rear of the entrance was the quarter
+called the Triton (τὸ Τρίτον),<a id='r322' /><a href='#f322' class='c009'><sup>[322]</sup></a> and, more commonly, the Sigma

+
+<p class='c008'>The next public gate, Yeni Mevlevi Haneh Kapoussi, situated
+between the tenth and eleventh towers north of the Third
+Military Gate, was known by two names, Porta Rhegiou (Ῥηγίου),<a id='r331' /><a href='#f331' class='c009'><sup>[331]</sup></a>
+the Gate of Rhegium, and Porta Rhousiou (τοῦ Ῥουσίου),<a id='r332' /><a href='#f332' class='c009'><sup>[332]</sup></a> the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_79'>79</span>Gate of the Red Faction. That it bore the former name is
+established by the fact that the inscription in honour of Theodosius

+on the lintel of this entrance.<a id='r333' /><a href='#f333' class='c009'><sup>[333]</sup></a> The name alluded to Rhegium

+In the first place, the seven shafts employed to form the
+lintel, posts, and sill of the gateway are covered with red wash,
+as though to mark the entrance with the colour of the Red
+Faction. Secondly, on the northern face of the southern gateway-tower
+is an inscription, unfortunately mutilated, such as

+they were concerned. The legend as preserved reads thus:
+“The Fortune of Constantine, our God-protected Emperor

+
+<p class='c008'>Top Kapoussi, between the sixth and seventh towers north of
+the Fourth Military Gate, is the Gate of St. Romanus (πόρτα τοῦ
+Ἁγίου Ρωμάνου)<a id='r339' /><a href='#f339' class='c009'><sup>[339]</sup></a> so named after an adjoining church of that
+dedication. Its identity may be established in the following
+manner: According to Cananus,<a id='r340' /><a href='#f340' class='c009'><sup>[340]</sup></a> the Gate of St. Romanus and
+the Gate of Charisius stood on opposite sides of the Lycus. The
+Gate of St. Romanus, therefore, must have been either Top
+Kapoussi, on the southern side of that stream, or one of the two
+gates on the stream’s northern bank, viz. the walled-up entrance
+at the foot of that bank, or Edirnè Kapoussi upon the summit.
+That it was the gate on the southern side of the Lycus is clear,
+from the statements of Critobulus and Phrantzes,<a id='r341' /><a href='#f341' class='c009'><sup>[341]</sup></a> that in the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_81'>81</span>siege of 1453 the Turkish troops which invested the walls
+extending from the Gate of Charisius (Edirnè Kapoussi) to the
+Golden Horn were on the Sultan’s <i>left</i>, <i>i.e.</i> to the north of the
+position he occupied. But the tent of the Sultan was opposite
+the Gate of St. Romanus.<a id='r342' /><a href='#f342' class='c009'><sup>[342]</sup></a> Hence, the Gate of Charisius was
+one of the gates to the north of the Lycus, and, consequently,
+the Gate of St. Romanus stood at Top Kapoussi, to the south.
+In harmony with this conclusion is the order in which the two
+gates are mentioned by Pusculus and Dolfin when describing the
+positions occupied by the defenders of the walls from the Sea of
+Marmora to the Golden Horn. Proceeding from south to north
+in their account of the defence, these writers place the Gate of
+St. Romanus before, <i>i.e.</i> to the south of, the Gate of Charisius.<a id='r343' /><a href='#f343' class='c009'><sup>[343]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Church of St. Romanus must have been a very old
+foundation, for it is ascribed to the Empress Helena. It claimed
+to possess the relics of the prophet Daniel and of St. Nicetas.<a id='r344' /><a href='#f344' class='c009'><sup>[344]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The entrance between the second and third towers north of
+the Lycus, or between the thirteenth and fourteenth towers north
+of the Gate of St. Romanus, is the Fifth Military Gate, the Gate
+of the Pempton (τοῦ Πέμπτου).<a id='r345' /><a href='#f345' class='c009'><sup>[345]</sup></a> It is identified by the fact that
+it occupies the position which the <i>Paschal Chronicle</i> assigns to
+the Gate of the Pempton; namely, between the Gate of St.
+Romanus and the Gate of the Polyandrion—one of the names,
+as we shall find,<a id='r346' /><a href='#f346' class='c009'><sup>[346]</sup></a> of Edirnè Kapoussi.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Some authorities<a id='r347' /><a href='#f347' class='c009'><sup>[347]</sup></a> have maintained, indeed, that this entrance
+was the Gate of Charisius. But this opinion is refuted by the
+fact that the Gate of Charisius, as its whole history proves, was
+not a military gate, but one of the public gates of the city.<a id='r348' /><a href='#f348' class='c009'><sup>[348]</sup></a>
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_82'>82</span>Furthermore, the author of the <i>Metrical Chronicle</i> and Cananus
+expressly distinguish the Gate of Charisius from the gate situated
+beside the Lycus.<a id='r349' /><a href='#f349' class='c009'><sup>[349]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>To the rear of the entrance was the district of the Pempton,
+containing the Church of St. Kyriakè and the meadow through
+which the Lycus flows to the Sea of Marmora. The meadow
+appears to have been a popular resort before the Theodosian
+Walls were built, if not also subsequently. Here, about the time
+of Easter, 404, the Emperor Arcadius came to take exercise on
+horseback, and here he found three thousand white-robed catechumens
+assembled. They proved to be persons who had
+recently been baptized by Chrysostom, in the Thermæ Constantianæ,
+near the Church of the Holy Apostles, notwithstanding
+his deposition on account of his quarrel with the Empress
+Eudoxia. Arcadius was extremely annoyed by the encounter,
+and ordered his guards to drive the crowd off the ground.<a id='r350' /><a href='#f350' class='c009'><sup>[350]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>While riding down one of the slopes of the Lycus valley, in
+450, Theodosius II. fell from his horse and sustained a spinal
+injury, which caused his death a few days later. The Gate of
+the Pempton was probably the entrance through which the dying
+emperor was carried on a litter from the scene of the accident
+into the city.<a id='r351' /><a href='#f351' class='c009'><sup>[351]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_83'>83</span>The next public gate, Edirnè Kapoussi, between the eighth
+and ninth towers to the north of the Fifth Military Gate, was
+named the Gate of Charisius (τοῦ Χαρισίου). The name, which
+appears in a great variety of forms, occurs first in Peter
+Magister,<a id='r352' /><a href='#f352' class='c009'><sup>[352]</sup></a> a writer of Justinian’s reign, and was derived, according
+to the Anonymus, from Charisius, the head of the Blue
+Faction, when the Theodosian Walls were built.<a id='r353' /><a href='#f353' class='c009'><sup>[353]</sup></a> While some
+authorities, as already intimated, have attached this name to the
+Gate of the Pempton, others have supposed that it belonged to
+the entrance now known as Egri Kapou.<a id='r354' /><a href='#f354' class='c009'><sup>[354]</sup></a> This, as will be
+shown in the proper place, is likewise a mistake.<a id='r355' /><a href='#f355' class='c009'><sup>[355]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The grounds on which the Gate of Charisius must be identified
+with the Edirnè Kapoussi are these:<a id='r356' /><a href='#f356' class='c009'><sup>[356]</sup></a> From the statements
+of Cananus and Critobulus, already considered in determining
+the position of the Gate of St. Romanus,<a id='r357' /><a href='#f357' class='c009'><sup>[357]</sup></a> it is clear that the
+Gate of Charisius was one of the two gates on the northern
+bank of the Lycus; either the gate at the foot of that bank
+or Edirnè Kapoussi upon the summit. That it was not the
+former is clearly proved by the fact that Cananus and the
+<i>Metrical Chronicle</i>, as already cited, distinguished the Gate of
+Charisius from the entrance beside the Lycus. The Gate of
+Charisius was, therefore, Edirnè Kapoussi, the gate on the
+summit of the bank.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Again, the Gate of Charisius was, like Edirnè Kapoussi,
+at the head of the street leading to the Church of the Holy
+Apostles. This is evident from the circumstance that when
+Justinian the Great, returning to the city from the West, visited
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_84'>84</span>on his way to the palace the tomb of the Empress Theodora at
+the Holy Apostles’, he entered the capital by the Gate of Charisius
+instead of by the Golden Gate,<a id='r358' /><a href='#f358' class='c009'><sup>[358]</sup></a> because the former entrance
+led directly to the Imperial Cemetery near that church.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>To these arguments may be added the fact that near the
+Gate of Charisius was a Church of St. George,<a id='r359' /><a href='#f359' class='c009'><sup>[359]</sup></a> the guardian of
+the entrance, and that a Byzantine church dedicated to that saint
+stood immediately to the south-east of Edirnè Kapoussi as late
+as the year 1556, when it was appropriated by Sultan Suleiman
+for the construction of the Mosque of Mihrimah. At the same
+time the Greek community received by way of compensation a
+site for another church to the north-west of the gate, and there
+the present Church of St. George was built to preserve the
+traditions of other days.<a id='r360' /><a href='#f360' class='c009'><sup>[360]</sup></a> Lastly, like Edirnè Kapoussi, the
+Gate of Charisius stood at a point from which one could readily
+proceed to the Church of the Chora (Kahriyeh Djamissi), the
+Church of St. John in Petra (Bogdan Serai), and the Palace
+of Blachernæ.<a id='r361' /><a href='#f361' class='c009'><sup>[361]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Another name for the Gate of Charisius was the Gate of
+the Polyandrion, or the Myriandron (Πόρτα τοῦ Πολυανδρίου,
+τοῦ Μυριάνδρου), the Gate of the Cemetery. This follows from
+the fact that whereas the respective names of the three gates
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_85'>85</span>in the walls crossing the valley of the Lycus are usually given
+as the Gate of Charisius, Gate of the Pempton, the Gate of St.
+Romanus, we find the first name omitted in a passage of the
+<i>Paschal Chronicle</i> referring to those entrances, and the Gate of
+the Polyandrion mentioned instead.<a id='r362' /><a href='#f362' class='c009'><sup>[362]</sup></a> Evidently, the Gate of
+Charisius and the Gate of the Polyandrion were different names
+for the same gate.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The latter designation was peculiarly appropriate to an
+entrance on the direct road to the Imperial Cemetery. Probably
+a public cemetery stood also outside the gate, where a large
+Turkish cemetery is now situated, and that may have been
+another reason for the name of the gate.<a id='r363' /><a href='#f363' class='c009'><sup>[363]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>With the portion of the walls between the Gate of St.
+Romanus and the Gate of Charisius, memorable historical events
+are associated which cannot be passed over without some notice,
+however brief.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>On account of its central position in the line of the land
+fortifications, this part of the walls was named the Mesoteichion
+(Μεσοτείχιον).<a id='r364' /><a href='#f364' class='c009'><sup>[364]</sup></a> It was also known as the Myriandrion,<a id='r365' /><a href='#f365' class='c009'><sup>[365]</sup></a> on
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_86'>86</span>account of its proximity to the Gate of Polyandrion; the
+portion to the south of the Lycus being further distinguished as
+the Murus Bacchatareus,<a id='r366' /><a href='#f366' class='c009'><sup>[366]</sup></a> after the Tower Baccaturea near the
+Gate of St. Romanus.<a id='r367' /><a href='#f367' class='c009'><sup>[367]</sup></a></p>

+<p>View Across the Valley of the Lycus (Looking North).</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>Owing to the configuration of the ground traversed by the
+Mesoteichion, it was at this point that a besieging army generally
+delivered the chief attack. Here stood the gates opening upon
+the streets which commanded the hills of the city; here was
+the weakest part of the fortifications, the channel of the Lycus
+rendering a deep moat impossible, while the dip in the line of
+walls, as they descended and ascended the slopes of the valley,
+put the defenders below the level occupied by the besiegers.
+Here, then, for Constantinople was the “Valley of Decision”—here,
+in the armour of the city, the “heel of Achilles.”</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the siege of 626 by the Avars, the first siege which the
+Theodosian Walls sustained, the principal attack was made from
+twelve towers which the enemy built before the fortifications
+extending from the Gate of Charisius to the Gate of the Pempton,
+and thence to the Gate of St. Romanus.<a id='r368' /><a href='#f368' class='c009'><sup>[368]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Upon the Gate of Charisius attempts were made: by
+Justinian II. and his allies for the recovery of his throne
+in 705;<a id='r369' /><a href='#f369' class='c009'><sup>[369]</sup></a> by Alexius Branas against Isaac Angelus in 1185;<a id='r370' /><a href='#f370' class='c009'><sup>[370]</sup></a>
+by John Cantacuzene in 1345<a id='r371' /><a href='#f371' class='c009'><sup>[371]</sup></a> and through it the Comneni
+entered in 1081, by bribing the German guards (Nemitzi) at
+the gate, and wrested the sceptre from the hand of Nicephorus
+Botoniates.<a id='r372' /><a href='#f372' class='c009'><sup>[372]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In 1206, during the struggle in which the Latins, soon after
+their capture of the city, involved themselves with Joannicus,
+King of Bulgaria, a raid was made upon the Gate of St. Romanus
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_87'>87</span>and the adjacent quarter by Bulgarian troops encamped near
+the capital.<a id='r373' /><a href='#f373' class='c009'><sup>[373]</sup></a> In 1328 the gate was opened to admit Andronicus
+III. by two partisans, who stupefied the guards with drink, and
+then assisted a company of his soldiers to scale the walls with
+rope ladders.<a id='r374' /><a href='#f374' class='c009'><sup>[374]</sup></a> In 1379 John VI. Palæologus and his son
+Manuel, after effecting their escape from the prison of Anemas,
+and making terms with Sultan Bajazet, entered the city by
+this gate, and obliged Andronicus IV. to retire from the throne
+he had usurped.<a id='r375' /><a href='#f375' class='c009'><sup>[375]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>But it was in the sieges of the city by the Turks that this
+portion of the walls was attacked most fiercely, as well as
+defended with the greatest heroism. Here in 1422 Sultan
+Murad brought cannon to bear, for the first time, upon the
+fortifications of Constantinople. His fire was directed mainly at
+an old half-ruined tower beside the Lycus; but the new weapon
+of warfare was still too weak to break Byzantine masonry, and
+seventy balls struck the tower without producing the slightest
+effect.<a id='r376' /><a href='#f376' class='c009'><sup>[376]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the siege of 1453 this portion of the walls was assailed by
+Sultan Mehemet himself with the bravest of his troops and his
+heaviest artillery, his tent being pitched, as already stated, about
+half a mile to the west of the Gate of St. Romanus.<a id='r377' /><a href='#f377' class='c009'><sup>[377]</sup></a> At the
+Murus Bacchatareus fought the Emperor Constantine, with his
+400 Genoese allies, under the command of the brave Guistiniani,
+who had come to perform prodigies of valour “per benefitio de
+la Christiantade et per honor del mundo.” The three brothers,
+Paul, Antony, and Troilus, defended the Myriandrion, “with the
+courage of Horatius Cocles.”</p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_88'>88</span>As the struggle proceeded two towers of the Inner Wall
+and a large portion of the Outer Wall were battered to pieces
+by the Turkish cannon. The enemy also succeeded in filling
+the moat at this point with earth and stones, to secure an
+unobstructed roadway into the city whenever a breach was
+effected.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>On the other hand, Giustiniani repaired the breach in the
+Outer Wall by the erection of a palisade, covered in front with
+hides and strengthened on the rear by a rampart of stones,
+earth, branches, and herbage of every description, all welded
+together with mortar, and supported by an embankment of earth.
+Between this barricade and the Inner Wall he furthermore excavated
+a trench, to replace to some extent the moat which had
+been rendered useless; and to maintain his communications
+with the interior of the city he opened a postern in the great
+wall.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Against these extemporized defences assault after assault
+dashed in all its strength and fury, only to be hurled back
+and broken. Meanwhile, more and more of the Inner and
+Outer Walls fell under the Turkish fire, and the Sultan decided
+to make a general attack at daybreak on the 29th of May.
+The onset upon the Mesoteichion, directed by the Sultan in
+person, was, however, repeatedly repelled, and the day threatened
+to go against the assailants, when a Turkish missile struck
+Giustiniani and forced him to leave the field. His soldiers
+refused to continue the struggle, abandoned their post, and
+disheartened their Greek comrades. The Sultan, perceiving the
+change in the situation, roused his janissaries to make a supreme
+effort. They swept forward, carried the barricade, filled the
+trench behind it with corpses of the defenders, and passing
+over, poured into the doomed city through every available
+opening. Some made their way through the breach in the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_89'>89</span>great wall, others entered by the postern which Giustiniani had
+opened,<a id='r378' /><a href='#f378' class='c009'><sup>[378]</sup></a> while others cut a path through the heap of dead bodies
+which blocked the Gate of Charisius. The heroic emperor
+refused to survive his empire, and found death near the Gate
+of St. Romanus.<a id='r379' /><a href='#f379' class='c009'><sup>[379]</sup></a> And through that gate, about midday, the
+Sultan entered, the master of the city of Constantine. It was
+the close of an epoch.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The next Theodosian gate stands between the last tower in
+the Outer Wall to the north of the Gate of Charisius and the old
+Byzantine Palace now called Tekfour Serai. In its present
+condition the entrance pierces only the Outer Wall; for the
+Inner Wall terminates abruptly a little to the south of the
+palace, having been broken away, probably when that edifice
+was erected. By way of compensation the Outer Wall was
+then raised higher and built thicker, and flanked by a large
+tower.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>According to its place in the order of the gates, this entrance
+should be the Sixth Military Gate; and the smallness of its
+dimensions is in keeping with this view. But as it led to a Circus
+built of timber beside the Church of St. Mamas without the
+walls, it was styled Porta Xylokerkou (Ξυλοκέρκου),<a id='r380' /><a href='#f380' class='c009'><sup>[380]</sup></a> Gate of
+the Wooden Circus, or more briefly, Kerko Porta (Κερκόπορτα),<a id='r381' /><a href='#f381' class='c009'><sup>[381]</sup></a>
+the Gate of the Circus.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_90'>90</span>In support of this identification there is first the fact that the
+Gate of the Xylokerkus, like the gate before us, was an entrance
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_91'>91</span>in the Walls of Theodosius, for it bore an inscription, which has
+unfortunately disappeared, in honour of that emperor and the
+Prefect Constantine, similar to the legend on the Porta Rhegiou.<a id='r382' /><a href='#f382' class='c009'><sup>[382]</sup></a>
+In the next place, the Gate of the Xylokerkus, like the entrance
+before us, was in the vicinity of the Gate of Charisius, and
+below a palace<a id='r383' /><a href='#f383' class='c009'><sup>[383]</sup></a> (Tekfour Serai).</p>
+

+<div class='ic002'>
+<p>The (So-Called) Kerko Porta.</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>The history of the gate has an interest of its own. When
+the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa was at Philippopolis, on his
+way to the Holy Land at the head of the Third Crusade, the
+prevalent suspicion that he had designs upon the Byzantine
+Empire found expression in the prophecy of a certain Dositheos,
+a monk of the Monastery of St. John Studius, that the German
+emperor would capture Constantinople, and penetrate into the
+city through this entrance. Thereupon, with the view of averting
+the calamity and preventing the fulfilment of the prophecy,
+Isaac Angelus ordered the gate to be securely built up.<a id='r384' /><a href='#f384' class='c009'><sup>[384]</sup></a> In
+1346 the partisans of John Cantacuzene proposed to admit him
+into the city by breaking the gate open, after its long close.<a id='r385' /><a href='#f385' class='c009'><sup>[385]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>But what gives to the Kerko Porta its chief renown is the
+part which, according to Ducas, it played in the catastrophe of
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_92'>92</span>1453, under the following circumstances. A large portion of the
+Outer Wall, at the Mesoteichion, having been overthrown by the
+Turkish cannon, the besieged were unable to issue from the city
+to the peribolos without being exposed to the enemy’s fire. In
+this extremity some old men, who knew the fortifications well,
+informed the emperor of a secret postern long closed up and
+buried underground, at the lower part of the palace, by which
+communication with the peribolos might be established.<a id='r386' /><a href='#f386' class='c009'><sup>[386]</sup></a> This
+was done, to the great advantage of the Greeks. But on the
+last day of the siege, while the enemy was attempting to scale
+the walls with ladders at several points, a band of fifty Turkish
+nobles detected the newly opened entrance, rushed in, and
+mounting the walls from the interior of the city, killed or drove
+off the defenders on the summit. Thus a portion of the fortifications
+was secured against which scaling-ladders could be
+applied without any difficulty, and soon a considerable Turkish
+force stood on the Inner Wall, planted their standards on the
+towers, and opened a rear fire upon the Greeks, who were fighting
+in the peribolos to prevent the Turks from entering at the
+great breach. The cry rose that the city was taken, whereupon
+an indescribable panic seized the Greeks, already disheartened
+by the loss of Giustiniani, and, abandoning all further
+resistance, they fled into the city through the Gate of Charisius,
+many being trampled to death in the rout. The emperor fell at
+his post; and the Turks poured into the city without opposition.<a id='r387' /><a href='#f387' class='c009'><sup>[387]</sup></a>
+The fate of Constantinople was thus scaled by the opening of
+the Kerko Porta.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>But here a difficulty occurs. In one very important particular
+the Kerko Porta, as described by Ducas, does not
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_93'>93</span>correspond to the character of the entrance with which it has
+been identified. The gate which the historian had in mind led
+to the peribolos, the terrace between the two Theodosian walls,
+whereas the gate below Tekfour Serai opens on the parateichion,
+the terrace between the Outer Wall and the Moat. This
+discrepancy may, however, be removed to some extent by supposing
+that under the name of the Kerko Porta. Ducas referred
+to the postern which Dr. Paspates<a id='r388' /><a href='#f388' class='c009'><sup>[388]</sup></a> found in the transverse wall
+built across the northern end of the peribolos, where the Inner
+Wall of Theodosius terminates abruptly a little to the south
+of Tekfour Serai. The postern was discovered in 1864, after
+some houses which concealed it from view had been destroyed
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_94'>94</span>by fire. It was 10-½ feet high by 6 feet wide, and although the
+old wall in which it stood has been, for the most part, pulled
+down and replaced by a new construction, the outline of the
+ancient postern can still be traced. Such an entrance might be
+buried out of sight, and be generally forgotten; and to open it,
+when recalled to mind in 1453, was to provide the defenders of
+the city with a secret passage, as they hoped, to the peribolos
+and the rear of the Outer Wall, where the contest was to be
+maintained to the bitter end.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The suggestion of Dr. Paspates that this was the entrance at
+which the incidents recorded by Ducas occurred may, therefore,
+be accepted. But, from the nature of the case, an entrance in
+such a position could not have been, strictly speaking, the Gate
+of the Circus, and to call it the Kerko Porta was therefore
+not perfectly accurate. That was, properly, the name of the
+gate below Tekfour Serai. Still, the mistake was not very
+serious, and, under the circumstances, was not strange. Two
+entrances so near each other could easily be confounded in the
+report of the events in the neighbourhood, especially when
+the postern in the transverse wall had no special name of
+its own.
+Dr. Mordtmann<a id='r389' /><a href='#f389' class='c009'><sup>[389]</sup></a> thinks that the postern near the Kerko Porta
+was the one which Giustiniani, according to Critobulus,<a id='r390' /><a href='#f390' class='c009'><sup>[390]</sup></a> opened
+in the Inner Wall to facilitate communication with the peribolos.
+The latter postern, however, is represented as near the position
+occupied by Giustiniani and the emperor, while the former is
+described as far from that point.<a id='r391' /><a href='#f391' class='c009'><sup>[391]</sup></a></p>

+</div>
+<p class='c007'>The maintenance of the bulwarks of the city in proper
+order was naturally a matter of supreme importance, and
+although the task was sometimes neglected when no enemy
+threatened, it was, on the whole, attended to with the promptitude
+and fidelity which so vital a concern demanded. There
+was little occasion for repairs, it is true, on account of injuries
+sustained in the shock of war, for until the invention of gunpowder
+the engines employed in battering the walls were either
+not powerful enough, or could not be planted sufficiently near
+the fortifications, to produce much effect. Most of the damage
+done to the walls was due to the action of the weather, and,
+above all, to the violent and frequent earthquakes which shook
+Constantinople in the course of the Middle Ages.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The charge of keeping the fortifications in repair was given
+to special officers, known under the titles, Domestic of the Walls
+(ὁ Δομέστικος τῶν Τειχέων),<a id='r392' /><a href='#f392' class='c009'><sup>[392]</sup></a> Governor of the Wall (Ἄρχων τοῦ
+Τείχους),<a id='r393' /><a href='#f393' class='c009'><sup>[393]</sup></a> Count of the Walls (Κόμης τῶν Τειχέων).<a id='r394' /><a href='#f394' class='c009'><sup>[394]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(1) The earliest record of repairs is, probably, the Latin
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_96'>96</span>inscription on the lintel of the inner gateway of the Porta of
+the Pempton. It reads:</p>
+
+<div class='lg-container-b c011'>

+    <div class='group'>
+      <div class='line'>PORTARUM VALID † DO FIRMAVIT LIMINE MUROS</div>

+    </div>
+  </div>
+</div>
+
+<p class='c012'>The age of the inscription cannot be precisely determined,
+but the employment of Latin, the Gothic form of the D in the
+word <i>valido</i>, the allusion to Anthemius, and the situation of the
+legend upon the Inner Wall, taken together, point to an early
+date.</p>
+

+<p>Inscriptions on the Gate of Rhegium.</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>From the statement of the inscription it would seem that
+soon after the erection of the wall by Anthemius, either this
+gate or all the gates in the line of the new fortifications had to
+be strengthened. The only Pusæus known in history who could
+have presumed to compare himself with Anthemius was consul
+in 467, in the reign of Leo I.<a id='r395' /><a href='#f395' class='c009'><sup>[395]</sup></a>  There may, however, have
+been an earlier personage of that name.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(2) A considerable portion of the Inner Wall (τὰ ἔσω τείχη)
+was injured by an earthquake in 578, the fourth year of the reign
+of Zeno;<a id='r396' /><a href='#f396' class='c009'><sup>[396]</sup></a> but no record of the repairs executed in consequence
+of the disaster has been preserved.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(3) The frequent shocks of earthquake felt in Constantinople
+during the reign of Justinian the Great damaged the walls on,
+at least, three occasions; in 542 and 554, when the injury done
+was most serious in the neighbourhood of the Golden Gate;<a id='r397' /><a href='#f397' class='c009'><sup>[397]</sup></a> and
+again in 558, when both the Constantinian and the Theodosian
+Walls were rudely shaken, the latter suffering chiefly in the
+portion between the Golden Gate and the Porta Rhousiou.<a id='r398' /><a href='#f398' class='c009'><sup>[398]</sup></a> So
+great was the damage sustained by the city and vicinity on the
+last occasion that for thirty days the emperor refused to wear
+his crown.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_97'>97</span>(4) An inscription on the Gate Rhousiou commemorates
+the restoration of the Outer Wall in the reign of Justin II.
+Whether the work was rendered necessary by some particular
+accident does not appear; but a wall so slight in its structure
+would naturally need extensive repair when a century old.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>With Justin the inscription associates the Empress Sophia, noted
+for her interest in the public works of the day, and also names
+Narses and Stephen, as the officials who had charge of the
+repairs. The latter officer is otherwise unknown. Narses, who
+held the offices of Spatharius and Sacellarius, superintended also
+the restoration of the Harbour of Julian in the same reign.<a id='r399' /><a href='#f399' class='c009'><sup>[399]</sup></a>
+Subsequently he was sent, with large funds, on a mission to the
+Avars to persuade them to raise the siege of Sirmium. But
+the ship which carried the money was totally wrecked on the
+way, and Narses took the misfortune so much to heart that he
+fell ill and died.<a id='r400' /><a href='#f400' class='c009'><sup>[400]</sup></a></p>

+<p class='c012'>(5) The next repairs on record were executed early in the

+in 1032, and again in 1033,<a id='r409' /><a href='#f409' class='c009'><sup>[409]</sup></a> is in favour of the view that the

+<p>Diagram Showing the Interior of a Tower in the Theodosian Walls.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>(10) During the period of the Comneni, particular attention
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_103'>103</span>was given to the state of the fortifications by Manuel Comnenus,<a id='r410' /><a href='#f410' class='c009'><sup>[410]</sup></a>
+and by Andronicus I. Comnenus.<a id='r411' /><a href='#f411' class='c009'><sup>[411]</sup></a> As will appear in the sequel,
+the former was concerned mainly with the defences in the neighbourhood
+of the Palace of Blachernæ, beyond the Theodosian
+Walls. The interest of Andronicus in the matter was roused
+by fear lest the Normans, who had captured and sacked Thessalonica
+in 1185, would advance upon the capital. After making
+a minute inspection of the walls in person, Andronicus ordered
+the immediate repair of the portions fallen into decay, as well
+as the removal of all houses whose proximity to the fortifications
+might facilitate escalade.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(11) Under the Palæologi, the Walls of Theodosius, after their
+long service of eight centuries, demanded frequent and extensive
+restoration, in view of the dangers which menaced them.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Hence, on the recovery of Constantinople from the Latins in
+1261, Michael Palæologus, fearing the Western Powers would
+attempt to regain the place, took measures to put the fortifications
+in a proper state of defence. His chief attention was devoted to
+the improvement of the bulwarks guarding the shores of the city,
+as those most exposed to attack by the maritime states of
+Europe, but he did not overlook the land walls.<a id='r412' /><a href='#f412' class='c009'><sup>[412]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(12) In 1317, general repairs were again undertaken by
+Andronicus II. Palæologus, with money bequeathed by his wife,
+the Empress Irene, who died in that year.<a id='r413' /><a href='#f413' class='c009'><sup>[413]</sup></a> The only indication,
+however, of the fact is now found beyond the Theodosian lines.<a id='r414' /><a href='#f414' class='c009'><sup>[414]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(13) The Theodosian Walls were injured once more by the
+great earthquake of October, 1344, during the minority of John
+VI. Palæologus.<a id='r415' /><a href='#f415' class='c009'><sup>[415]</sup></a> The disaster occurred when the struggle
+between Apocaucus and Cantacuzene for the control of affairs
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_104'>104</span>was at its height, and the ruin of the fortifications made the
+position of the former, who then held the city, extremely critical,
+seeing his rival was preparing to besiege him. Apocaucus proceeded,
+therefore, to reconstruct the fallen bulwarks with the
+utmost despatch and thoroughness. The Inner Wall and the
+Outer Wall were repaired from one end of the line to the other,
+and the parapet along the Moat was raised to the height of a
+man;<a id='r416' /><a href='#f416' class='c009'><sup>[416]</sup></a> proceedings which made this the most extensive restoration
+of the Theodosian Walls since 447. It was completed in
+January 1345, before Cantacuzene appeared to attack the capital.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(14) Mention has already been made of the repair of the
+Golden Gate by Cantacuzene, and the erection of a fortress
+behind that entrance by John VI. Palæologus, the prototype of
+the Turkish Castle of the Seven Towers.<a id='r417' /><a href='#f417' class='c009'><sup>[417]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(15) The last restoration of the Theodosian bulwarks, on an
+extensive scale, was undertaken by John VII. Palæologus,
+(1425-1448), the Outer Wall being the portion principally concerned
+in the matter.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Evidently the task proved difficult, for the numerous inscriptions
+which celebrate the achievement bear dates extending from
+1433-1444, and show that the work proceeded slowly, and with
+frequent interruptions, due, doubtless, to the low state of the
+Imperial exchequer. The letters of the legends are incised on
+small marble slabs, and are filled with lead, exhibiting poor
+workmanship both in form and arrangement.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>One of the inscriptions was placed on the outer tower nearest
+the Sea of Marmora:<a id='r418' /><a href='#f418' class='c009'><sup>[418]</sup></a></p>

+a tower between the Gate of Charisius and Tekfour Serai. The

+</div>
+<p class='c007'>The ruined Byzantine palace, commonly styled Tekfour Serai,
+beside the Porta Xylokerkou was the Imperial residence, known
+as the Palace of the Porphyrogenitus (τὰ βασίλεια τοῦ Πορφυρογεννήτου:
+οἱ τοῦ Πορφυρογεννήτου οἶκοι),<a id='r428' /><a href='#f428' class='c009'><sup>[428]</sup></a> and formed an annex
+to the great Palace of Blachernæ, which stood lower down the
+hill.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>It is true, Gyllius supposed it to be the Palace of the Hebdomon,
+and his opinion, though contrary to all the evidence on
+the subject, has been generally accepted as correct. But the
+proof that the suburb of the Hebdomon was situated at Makrikeui,
+upon the Sea of Marmora, is overwhelming, and consequently
+the Palace of the Hebdomon must be sought in that
+neighbourhood.<a id='r429' /><a href='#f429' class='c009'><sup>[429]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The evidence for the proper Byzantine name of Tekfour Serai<a id='r430' /><a href='#f430' class='c009'><sup>[430]</sup></a>
+occurs in the passage in which Critobolus describes the positions
+occupied by the various divisions of the Turkish army, during
+the siege of 1453. According to that authority, the Turkish left
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_110'>110</span>wing extended from the Xylo Porta (beside the Golden Horn)<a id='r431' /><a href='#f431' class='c009'><sup>[431]</sup></a>
+to the Palace of the Porphyrogenitus, which was situated upon a
+slope, and thence to the Gate of Charisius (Edirnè Kapoussi).<a id='r432' /><a href='#f432' class='c009'><sup>[432]</sup></a>
+The site thus assigned to the Palace of the Porphyrogenitus
+corresponds exactly to that of Tekfour Serai, which stands on
+the steep ascent leading from Egri Kapou to the Gate of
+Adrianople.</p>

+<p>The Palace of the Porphyrogenitus (Southern Façade).</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>All other references to the Palace of the Porphyrogenitus are
+in accord with this conclusion, so far, at least, as they imply
+the proximity of that residence to the Palace of Blachernæ.
+When, for instance, Andronicus III., in 1328, entered Constantinople
+by the Gate of St. Romanus to wrest the government
+from the feeble hands of his grandfather Andronicus II.,
+he took up his quarters, we are told, in the Palace of the
+Porphyrogenitus, to be near the palace occupied by the
+elder sovereign.<a id='r433' /><a href='#f433' class='c009'><sup>[433]</sup></a> That Andronicus II. was at the Palace of
+Blachernæ is manifest from the fact that the peasants who witnessed
+the entrance of the rebel grandson into the city ran and
+reported the event to the guards stationed at the Gate Gyrolimnè,<a id='r434' /><a href='#f434' class='c009'><sup>[434]</sup></a>

+<p>The Palace of the Porphyrogenitus (Northern Façade).</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>Again, the Palace of the Porphyrogenitus was occupied by
+John Cantacuzene, in 1347, while negotiating with the Dowager-Empress
+Anna of Savoy to be acknowledged the colleague of her
+son, John Palæologus.<a id='r436' /><a href='#f436' class='c009'><sup>[436]</sup></a> Upon taking possession of that residence
+he issued strict injunctions that no attack should be made upon
+the palace in which the empress and her son were then living.
+But the followers of Cantacuzene, hearing that Anna hesitated
+to come to terms, disobeyed his orders and seized the fort at
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_111'>111</span>Blachernæ, named the Castelion, which guarded that palace.<a id='r437' /><a href='#f437' class='c009'><sup>[437]</sup></a>
+Evidently the Palace of Blachernæ and the Palace of the Porphyrogenitus
+stood near each other. Seven years later, John
+Palæologus himself, upon his capture of the city, made the
+Palace of the Porphyrogenitus his headquarters while arranging
+for the abdication of Cantacuzene.<a id='r438' /><a href='#f438' class='c009'><sup>[438]</sup></a> And from the narrative
+of the events on that occasion it is, again, manifest that the
+Palace of the Porphyrogenitus was in the neighbourhood of the
+Castelion and the Palace of Blachernæ.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>By this identification, a flood of light is shed upon the
+incidents of Byzantine history to which allusion has just been
+made.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The palace, an oblong building in three stories, stands
+between the two parallel walls which descend from the Porta
+Xylokerkou for a short distance, towards the Golden Horn.
+Its long sides, facing respectively north and south, are transverse
+to the walls, while its short western and eastern sides rest, at the
+level of the second story, upon the summit of the walls.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Its roof and two upper floors have disappeared, and nothing
+remains but an empty shell. The northern façade was supported
+by pillars and piers, and its whole surface was decorated with
+beautiful and varied patterns in mosaic, formed of small pieces of
+brick and stone. The numerous windows of the building were
+framed in marble, and, with the graceful balconies on the
+east and south, looked out upon the superb views which the
+lofty position of the palace commanded. The western façade,
+being the most exposed to hostile missiles, was screened by a large
+tower built on the west side of the Porta Xylokerkou, to the
+injury, however, of the gate, which was thus partially blocked up.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>A transverse wall erected at some distance to the north made
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_112'>112</span>the area between the two walls, upon which the palace rests, a
+spacious court, communicating by a gate at its north-eastern
+corner with the city, while a gate in the western wall led to the
+parateichion.<a id='r439' /><a href='#f439' class='c009'><sup>[439]</sup></a> The latter entrance is, probably, the one known as
+the Postern of the Porphyrogenitus, by which forty-two partisans

+</div>
+<p class='c007'>At the Gate of the Xylokerkus, or the Kerko Porta, the
+Theodosian Walls come to an abrupt termination, and the line
+of defence from that point to the Golden Horn is continued by
+fortifications which, for the most part, did not exist before the
+seventh century. Along the greater portion of their course these
+bulwarks consisted of a single wall, without a moat; but at a
+short distance from the water, where they stand on level ground,
+they formed a double wall, which was at one time protected by
+a moat and constituted a citadel at the north-western angle of
+the city.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>With the exception of that citadel’s outer wall, erected by
+Leo the Armenian, the defences from the Kerko Porta to
+the Golden Horn have usually been ascribed to the Emperor
+Heraclius.<a id='r449' /><a href='#f449' class='c009'><sup>[449]</sup></a> But this opinion is at variance both with history,
+and with the striking diversity in construction exhibited by the
+various portions of the works. As a matter of fact, the fortifications
+extending from the Kerko Porta to the Golden Horn
+comprise walls that belong to, at least, three periods: the Wall
+of Heraclius, the Wall of Leo, and the Wall of Manuel
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_116'>116</span>Comnenus.<a id='r450' /><a href='#f450' class='c009'><sup>[450]</sup></a> Curiously enough, the Wall of Manuel Comnenus,
+though latest in time, stands first in order of position, for it
+intervenes between the Theodosian Walls, on the one hand,
+and the Heraclian and Leonine Walls, on the other.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Here, therefore, a question presents itself which must be
+answered before proceeding to the study of the walls just
+mentioned. If the various portions of the fortifications between
+the Kerko Porta and the Golden Horn did not come, respectively,
+into existence until the seventh, ninth, and eleventh
+centuries, how was the north-western side of the city defended
+previous to the erection of those walls?</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Two answers have been given to this important and very
+difficult question. Both agree in maintaining that the city was
+defended on the north-west by the prolongation of the Theodosian
+Walls; but they differ as regards the precise direction in
+which the walls were carried down to the Golden Horn.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>One view is that the Theodosian Walls upon leaving the
+Kerko Porta turned north-eastwards, to follow the <i>eastern</i> spur
+of the Sixth Hill,<a id='r451' /><a href='#f451' class='c009'><sup>[451]</sup></a> along a line terminating somewhere in the
+vicinity of Balat Kapoussi.<a id='r452' /><a href='#f452' class='c009'><sup>[452]</sup></a> According to this view, the quarter
+of Blachernæ, which until 627 lay outside the city limits,<a id='r453' /><a href='#f453' class='c009'><sup>[453]</sup></a> was
+the territory situated between the spur just mentioned and the
+line occupied eventually by the Walls of Comnenus and Heraclius.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The second view on the subject is that the two Theodosian
+Walls were carried northwards along the <i>western</i> spur of the
+Sixth Hill, and enclosed it on every side. On this supposition,
+the suburb of Blachernæ, with its celebrated Church of the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_117'>117</span>Theotokos, without the fortifications, was the plain extending
+from the foot of the western spur of the Sixth Hill to the Golden
+Horn, the plain occupied now by the quarter of Aivan Serai.<a id='r454' /><a href='#f454' class='c009'><sup>[454]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In support of the first opinion, there is the undoubted fact
+that the Theodosian Walls, as they approach the Kerko Porta,
+bend north-eastwards, so that if continued in that direction
+they would reach the Golden Horn near the Greek Church of
+St. Demetrius, to the west of Balat Kapoussi.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The opinion that the Theodosian Walls were carried to the
+foot of the western spur of the Sixth Hill rests upon the
+fact that traces of old fortifications enclosing that spur are still
+distinctly visible; while the Theodosian Moat is, moreover, continued
+towards Aivan Serai, until it is stopped by the Wall of
+Manuel, which runs transversely to it.<a id='r455' /><a href='#f455' class='c009'><sup>[455]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The fortifications referred to are found mostly to the rear of
+the Comnenian Wall, but portions of them are seen also to the
+north of it.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>One line of the fortifications proceeded from the Kerko Porta
+along the western flank of the spur, and joined the city walls a
+little to the south of the “Tower of Isaac Angelus;” another
+line ran from that gate along the eastern side of the spur to
+the fountain Tsinar Tchesmè in the quarter of Londja, a short
+distance to the south-east of the Holy Well which marks the
+site of the Church of Blachernæ; while a third wall, facing the
+Golden Horn, defended the northern side of the spur, and
+abutted against the city walls, very near the southern end of
+the Wall of Heraclius.<a id='r456' /><a href='#f456' class='c009'><sup>[456]</sup></a> Within the acropolis formed by these
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_118'>118</span>works of defence, the Palace of Blachernæ and the Palace of
+the Porphyrogenitus were in due time erected.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Both answers to the question before us have much in their
+favour, and possibly the truth on the subject is to be found in
+their combination. Their respective values as rival theories will,
+perhaps, be more easily estimated, if we begin with the consideration
+of the second answer.</p>

+<p>Balcony in the Southern Façade of the Palace of the Porphyrogenitus.</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>That the western spur of the Sixth Hill was a fortified
+position early in the history of the city can scarcely be disputed.
+It must have been so, to commence at the lowest date, before
+the erection of the Wall of the Emperor Manuel in the twelfth
+century; for it was to get clear of the fortifications on that spur
+that the Comnenian Wall describes the remarkable detour it
+makes in proceeding from the court of the Palace of the Porphyrogenitus
+towards the Golden Horn, running out westwards for a
+considerable distance before taking a northerly course in the
+direction of the harbour. Then, there is reason to believe that
+the spur was fortified as early as the seventh century. This is
+implied in the accounts we have of the siege of Constantinople
+by the Avars in 627, when we hear of fortifications, named the
+Wall of Blachernæ,<a id='r457' /><a href='#f457' class='c009'><sup>[457]</sup></a> the Pteron<a id='r458' /><a href='#f458' class='c009'><sup>[458]</sup></a> or Proteichisma,<a id='r459' /><a href='#f459' class='c009'><sup>[459]</sup></a> outside of which
+stood the Church of Blachernæ and the Church of St. Nicholas.<a id='r460' /><a href='#f460' class='c009'><sup>[460]</sup></a></p>
+
+<div id='fig_fp118b'  class='figcenter id002'>

+<p>Archway leading to the Gate of the Xylokerkus (Screen Tower). The Palace of the Porphyrogenitus (From The West).</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>For these sanctuaries were situated precisely at the foot of
+the western spur of the Sixth Hill, the site of the former being
+marked by the Holy Well of Blachernæ at Aivan Serai, that of
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_119'>119</span>the latter by the Holy Well in the ground between the Wall of
+Heraclius and the Wall of Leo.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>It is also in favour of the presence of fortifications on the
+spur in the seventh century to find that the historians of the
+Avar siege are silent as to any danger incurred by the Palace
+of Blachernæ, which stood on the spur, when the Church of
+St. Nicholas was burnt down, and when the Church of Blachernæ
+narrowly escaped the same fate. A similar silence is observed
+as to any advantage derived by the palace from the erection
+of the Wall of Heraclius, at the close of the war.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>But the age of these fortifications may be carried back to a
+still earlier date than the seventh century; for, according to the
+<i>Notitia</i>, the Fourteenth Region of the city, which stood on the
+Sixth Hill, was defended by a wall of its own, <i>proprio muro
+vallata</i>, so as to appear a distinct town.<a id='r461' /><a href='#f461' class='c009'><sup>[461]</sup></a> The fortifications
+on the Sixth Hill may therefore claim to have originally constituted
+the defences of that Region, and therefore to be as
+old, at least, as the reign of Theodosius II.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>But although the origin of the fortifications around the
+western spur of the Sixth Hill may thus be carried so far back,
+it is a mistake to regard them as a structural prolongation of the
+Theodosian Walls. On the contrary, they are distinct and
+independent constructions. They proceed northwards, while the
+latter make for the north-east; so that the Wall of Anthemius,
+if produced, would stand to the east of the former, while the
+Wall of the Prefect Constantine under similar circumstances
+would cut them transversely. Furthermore, the outer wall,
+north of the Kerko Porta, is built almost at right angles
+against the wall of the Prefect Constantine, with a distinct line
+of junction, and stands so close to the Kerko Porta that the gate,
+what with the wall on one side and the tower screening the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_120'>120</span>western façade of the Palace of Porphyrogenitus<a id='r462' /><a href='#f462' class='c009'><sup>[462]</sup></a> upon the other,
+is almost crushed between them. Such a situation could never
+have been assigned to the gate, if the walls on either hand
+belonged to the same construction. It should also be added
+that the masonry of the walls around the spur is different from
+that in the Walls of Theodosius.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>How the non-Theodosian character of the walls to the north
+of the Kerko Porta is to be accounted for admits of more than
+one explanation. It may be due to changes in works of
+Theodosian origin, or to the fact that they are works of an
+earlier period,<a id='r463' /><a href='#f463' class='c009'><sup>[463]</sup></a> or to the fact that they are works of a later age.
+On the supposition that these fortifications defended originally
+the Fourteenth Region, the second explanation is the most
+probable, for the division of the city into Regions was anterior
+to Theodosius II., and there is every reason to believe that the
+isolated Fourteenth Region was a fortified suburb from the
+earliest period of its history.<a id='r464' /><a href='#f464' class='c009'><sup>[464]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Accordingly, the second answer to the question how the
+north-western side of the city was defended before the erection
+of the Walls of Heraclius, Leo, and Manuel Comnenus, would
+have more in its favour if it maintained that the defence was
+effected by the junction of the Theodosian Walls with pre-existing
+fortifications around the western spur of the Sixth Hill.<a id='r465' /><a href='#f465' class='c009'><sup>[465]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The chief difficulty attending this view is that the <i>Notitia</i>
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_121'>121</span>speaks of the Fourteenth Region as still an isolated suburb
+in the reign of Theodosius II.<a id='r466' /><a href='#f466' class='c009'><sup>[466]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>As regards the opinion that the Theodosian Walls proceeded
+from the Kerko Porta to the Golden Horn in a north-eastern
+course and reached the water between the Church of St. Demetrius
+and Balat Kapoussi, it has upon its side the patent fact that
+those walls, if produced according to their trend at the Kerko
+Porta, would certainly follow the line indicated. On this view,
+the walls around the western spur of the Sixth Hill were either
+the fortifications of the Fourteenth Region (modified), or walls
+built expressly to defend the Palace of Blachernæ, after the
+fifth century.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The trend of the walls at the Kerko Porta affords, unquestionably,
+a very strong argument for this view of the case. But
+the view is open to objections. The absence of all traces of the
+walls along the line indicated should, perhaps, not be pressed,
+as such works are apt to disappear when superseded. A more
+serious objection is that the Theodosian Moat does not follow
+the north-eastern course of the walls, but proceeds northwards,
+for a short distance, in the direction of Aivan Serai.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Furthermore, if the western spur of the Sixth Hill was
+already fortified when the Theodosian Walls were built, it is
+reasonable to suppose that the land defences of the city were
+completed by the simple expedient of uniting the new works
+with the old. Any other proceeding appears cumbrous and
+superfluous.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Still, after all is said, the information we have is so meagre,
+the changes made in the walls beside the Kerko Porta have
+manifestly been so numerous, that a decided judgment upon the
+point at issue does not seem warranted by the evidence at our
+command.</p>

+</div>
+<p class='c007'>According to Nicetas Choniates,<a id='r467' /><a href='#f467' class='c009'><sup>[467]</sup></a> a portion of the city fortifications
+was erected by the Emperor Manuel Comnenus.</p>
+

+<div class='ic002'>
+<p>Tower of the Wall of the Emperor Manuel Comnenus.</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>The historian alludes to that work when describing the site
+upon which the Crusaders established their camp in 1203, and
+from his account of the matter there can be no doubt regarding
+the portion intended. The Latin camp, says Nicetas,<a id='r468' /><a href='#f468' class='c009'><sup>[468]</sup></a> was
+pitched on the hill which faced the western front of the Palace of
+Blachernæ, and which was separated from the city walls by a
+strip of level ground, extending from the Golden Horn, on the
+north, to the wall built by the Emperor Manuel, on the south.
+This is an unmistakable description of the hill which stands
+to the west of the fortifications between the Golden Horn and
+Egri Kapou, and which is separated from those fortifications by
+a narrow plain, as by a trench or gorge. Consequently, the wall
+erected by the Emperor Manuel must be sought at the plain’s
+southern extremity; and there, precisely, commences a line of
+wall which displays, as far as the north-western corner of the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_123'>123</span>court of the Palace of the Porphyrogenitus, a style of workmanship
+perfectly distinct from any found elsewhere in the bulwarks
+of the city.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The object of building this wall was to add to the security of
+the Palace of Blachernæ, which became the favourite residence
+of the Imperial Court in the reign of Alexius Comnenus,<a id='r469' /><a href='#f469' class='c009'><sup>[469]</sup></a>
+and which Manuel himself enlarged and beautified.<a id='r470' /><a href='#f470' class='c009'><sup>[470]</sup></a> The
+new wall was not only stronger than the earlier defences of
+the palace, but had also the advantage of removing the point
+of attack against this part of the city to a greater distance from
+the Imperial residence. At the same time, the older fortifications
+were allowed to remain as a second line of defence.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In construction the wall is a series of lofty arches closed on
+the outer face, and built of larger blocks of stone<a id='r471' /><a href='#f471' class='c009'><sup>[471]</sup></a> than those
+generally employed in the Walls of Theodosius. On account of
+the steepness of the slope on which it, for the most part, stands,
+it was unprotected by a moat, but to compensate for this lack
+the wall was more massive, and flanked by stronger towers
+than other portions of the fortifications. At the summit the
+wall measured fifteen feet in thickness. Of its nine towers, the
+first six, commencing from the court of the Palace of the Porphyrogenitus,
+are alternately round and octagonal; the seventh and
+eighth are octagonal; the last is square.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The wall was provided with a public gate and, apparently,
+two posterns.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>One postern, opening on the Theodosian parateicheion, was
+in the curtain<a id='r472' /><a href='#f472' class='c009'><sup>[472]</sup></a> extending from the outer wall of the court of
+the Palace of the Porphyrogenitus to the first tower of Manuel’s
+Wall. The other postern stood between the second and third
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_124'>124</span>towers, and is remarkable for being the only entrance in the city
+walls furnished with a drip-stone. Dr. Paspates<a id='r473' /><a href='#f473' class='c009'><sup>[473]</sup></a> identified it
+with the Paraportion of St. Kallinikus; but the postern of that
+name is mentioned in history before the erection of Manuel’s Wall.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Between the sixth and seventh towers was the Public Gate,
+now styled Egri Kapou. By some authorities, as already stated,<a id='r474' /><a href='#f474' class='c009'><sup>[474]</sup></a>
+it has been identified with the Porta Charisiou, but it is, beyond
+question, the Porta Kaligaria, so conspicuous in the last siege of
+the city.<a id='r475' /><a href='#f475' class='c009'><sup>[475]</sup></a> This is clear from the following circumstances: The
+Porta Kaligaria pierced the wall which protected the quarter
+known, owing to the manufacture of military shoes (caliga) there,
+as the Kaligaria (ἐν τοῖς Καλιγαρίοις). That wall stood near the
+palace of the emperor; it was a single line of fortifications, distinguished
+for its strength, but without a moat.<a id='r476' /><a href='#f476' class='c009'><sup>[476]</sup></a> It occupied,
+moreover, such a position that from one of its towers the Emperor
+Constantine Dragoses and his friend the historian Phrantzes
+were able to reconnoitre, early in the morning of the fatal 29th
+of May, the operations of the Turkish army before the Theodosian
+Walls, and hear the ominous sounds of the preparations for
+the last assault.<a id='r477' /><a href='#f477' class='c009'><sup>[477]</sup></a> All these particulars hold true only of the wall
+in which Egri Kapou is situated; and hence that gate must be
+the Porta Kaligaria.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The only inscription found on the Wall of Manuel consists
+of the two words, ΥΠΕΡ ΕΥΧΗΣ, on a stone built into the left
+side of the entrance which leads from within the city into the
+square tower above mentioned.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the siege of 1453, this wall, on account of its proximity to
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_125'>125</span>the Palace of Blachernæ, was the object of special attack; but
+all the attempts of the Turkish gunners and miners failed to
+open a breach in it.<a id='r478' /><a href='#f478' class='c009'><sup>[478]</sup></a> A battery of three cannon, one of them
+the huge piece cast by Orban, played against these bulwarks
+with such little effect that the Sultan ordered the guns to be
+transferred to the battery before the Gate of St. Romanus.<a id='r479' /><a href='#f479' class='c009'><sup>[479]</sup></a>
+The skilled miners who were brought from the district around
+Novobrodo, in Servia, to undermine the wall succeeded in
+shaking down only part of an old tower, and all the mines they
+opened were countermined by John Grant, a German engineer in
+the service of the Greeks.<a id='r480' /><a href='#f480' class='c009'><sup>[480]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The tower from which the emperor and Phrantzes reconnoitred
+the Turkish movements was, Dr. Paspates thinks, the
+noble tower which stands at the point where the wall bends to
+descend the slope towards the Golden Horn.<a id='r481' /><a href='#f481' class='c009'><sup>[481]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The portion of the fortifications, some 453 feet in length,
+extending from the square tower in the wall just described to
+the fourth tower to the north (the tower bearing an inscription in
+honour of Isaac Angelus),<a id='r482' /><a href='#f482' class='c009'><sup>[482]</sup></a> is considered by one authority to be
+also a part of the Wall of Manuel Comnenus.<a id='r483' /><a href='#f483' class='c009'><sup>[483]</sup></a> If so, it must
+have undergone great alterations since that emperor’s time, for
+in its construction and general appearance it is very different
+from the Comnenian ramparts. It is built of smaller blocks of
+stone; its bricks are much slighter in make; its arches less filled
+with masonry; its four towers are all square, and glaringly
+inferior to the splendid towers in Manuel’s undoubted work;
+while, immediately to the south of the square tower above
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_126'>126</span>mentioned one can see, from within the city, a line of junction
+between the wall to the south and the wall to the north of that
+tower, indicating in the plainest possible manner the juxtaposition
+of two perfectly distinct structures. And in point of fact,
+three inscriptions recording repairs are found on the latter wall.
+One inscription, on the fourth tower, belongs to the reign of Isaac
+Angelus<a id='r484' /><a href='#f484' class='c009'><sup>[484]</sup></a> and bears the date 1188. Another is seen among the
+Turkish repairs executed on the city side of the second tower
+of the wall, and records the date, “In the year 6824 (1317),
+November 4;” the year, as we have seen, in which Irene, the
+empress of Andronicus II., died, leaving large sums of money,
+which that emperor devoted, mainly, to the restoration of the
+bulwarks of the capital.<a id='r485' /><a href='#f485' class='c009'><sup>[485]</sup></a> The third inscription stands on the
+curtain between the third and fourth towers of the wall, immediately
+below the parapet, and commemorates repairs executed
+in 1441 by John VII. Palæologus, who was concerned in the
+reconstruction of the Outer Theodosian Wall. It reads:</p>

+have collected respecting that Imperial residence, from the statements
+made on the subject by writers during the Byzantine

+in the Church of Blachernæ; the Triclinus Danubius (Τρίκλινος
+Δανουβιὸς); and the Portico Josephiacus (τὸν Πόρτικα Ἰωσηφιακὸν).
+Under Alexius I. Comnenus it was frequently occupied by the

+of Basil ... (?) in the year 1188.”</p>
+
+<p class='c012'>The twin towers rise to a great height, and are supported
+along their base by a massive buttress or counter-fort, 1 G1 G2 G3 G4,
+that stands 23 feet above the present ground-level, and projects
+from 19-½ to 26 feet beyond the towers.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The tower N, an irregular quadrilateral building in two
+stories, measures 48 feet by 43 feet; the tower S, also quadrilateral,
+is 36 feet by 47 feet. But although closely associated,
+the two buildings differ greatly in style of construction. The
+masonry of N is irregular, having a large number of pillars
+inserted into it; often partially, so that many of them project
+like mock artillery. On the other hand, the tower S is carefully
+put together with the usual alternate courses of stone and
+brickwork, and is, moreover, ornamented with a string-course.
+A similar diversity of style is observable in the counter-fort.
+The portion about the tower N is built of small stones roughly
+joined, whereas the portion about the tower S consists of
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_133'>133</span>splendid large blocks, regularly hewn, and carefully fitted.
+Manifestly the towers are not the work of the same period.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The tower N is commonly regarded as the tower of Isaac
+Angelus; while the tower S has been considered, since Dr.
+Paspates propounded the opinion, to be the Tower of Anemas,<a id='r519' /><a href='#f519' class='c009'><sup>[519]</sup></a>
+which stood in the vicinity of the Palace of Blachernæ, and is
+famous in the annals of Constantinople as a prison for political
+offenders of high rank. The chambers in the body of the wall,
+behind and to the north of the towers, Dr. Paspates thinks, were
+the cells of that celebrated prison.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>How far these views are correct can be determined only
+after the towers and the chambers in the adjoining wall have
+been carefully surveyed. The plan attached to this chapter
+will render the survey easier and clearer.<a id='r520' /><a href='#f520' class='c009'><sup>[520]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>At <i>x</i> was a small arched postern, by which one entered the
+vaulted tunnel Z, that led through the counter-fort G´ to the
+gateway <i>l</i> in the north-eastern side of the tower S. The sill
+of the postern <i>x</i> is now nearly 10 feet above the exterior
+ground-level, but originally it was higher, so that persons could
+pass in and out only by means of a ladder that could be withdrawn
+at pleasure. The postern <i>x</i>, the tunnel Z, and the gateway
+<i>l</i> are now built up with solid masonry to the spring of the
+vault, obliging the explorer to make his way on his hands
+and knees in a most uncomfortable manner.<a id='r521' /><a href='#f521' class='c009'><sup>[521]</sup></a> Judging from the
+carefulness of the work, the passage was blocked before the
+Turkish Conquest.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_134'>134</span>By the gateway <i>l</i> one enters the lofty vestibule <i>b</i>, now in
+total darkness, so that all further exploration requires the aid of
+artificial light. The original floor of the vestibule is buried
+below a mass of earth which stands at the present level of Z
+and <i>l</i>.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the wall to the right is a low arched niche, <i>i</i>; in the wall
+<i>g</i>, directly in front of the explorer, a wide breach opens into E;
+while in the wall to the left is a loophole O, now on the level
+of the present floor of <i>b</i>.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Crawling first through O, one finds one’s self in a spacious
+vaulted hall, some 200 feet long, and from 29 to 40 feet wide.
+The lower portion of the hall is filled with <i>débris</i> and earth,
+piled unevenly upon the floor, in great mounds and deep
+hollows, which add indeed to the weirdness of the scene, but,
+unfortunately, render a complete exploration of the interior
+impossible.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Thirteen buttress-walls, pierced by three arches superposed,
+run transversely across the hall, from the wall AA to the
+wall BB, and divide the interior into fourteen compartments,
+which average nearly 10 feet in breadth, and vary in length
+from about 27 to 40 feet; the walls AA and BB standing
+further apart, as they proceed from south-west to north-east.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>These compartments, excepting the first and last, were
+divided, as the cavities for fixing joists in the buttresses prove,
+into three stories of twelve chambers, the superposed arches
+affording continuous communication between the chambers on the
+different floors. The chambers on the ground floor, so far as
+appears, were totally dark, but those on the two upper stories
+received light and air through the large loophole in the wall BB,
+with which each of them was provided. The compartment C´
+led to the chamber in the second story of the tower N, and at
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_135'>135</span>the same time communicated at v with the terrace on which
+the Palace of Blachernæ stood, and where the Mosque of Aivas
+Effendi is now erected.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The face of the wall AA is pierced by two tiers of loopholes,
+which are openings in two superposed corridors or
+galleries constructed in the body of the wall AA. These
+loopholes occur at irregular distances from the buttress-walls,
+and some of them are partially closed by the latter, while others
+are completely so.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>As the galleries in AA are blocked with earth at various
+points, they cannot be explored thoroughly. At the north-eastern
+end, the upper gallery opens on the garden of a Turkish
+house near the Heraclian Wall. Whether the south-western
+end communicated with the court of the Palace of Blachernæ
+cannot be determined.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Returning to the vestibule <i>b</i>, and crawling next through the
+opening at <i>i</i>, the explorer finds himself in F, a vaulted
+chamber over 29 feet long, and about 17 feet wide. What
+the original height of the apartment was cannot be ascertained,
+the floor being covered with a deep bed of fine dark loam,
+but the ceiling is still some 23 feet high. Below a line
+nearly 14 feet from the ceiling, as a sloping ledge at that
+elevation makes evident, the north-eastern and north-western
+walls of the apartment are much thicker than above that
+point. Over the ledge in the north-eastern wall is a loophole.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The south-eastern wall is strengthened with two arches;
+while the ceiling is pierced by a circular hole, which communicates
+with the room on the higher story of the tower.
+When first explored by Dr. Paspates, a well nearly 18 feet
+deep was found sunk in the floor.<a id='r522' /><a href='#f522' class='c009'><sup>[522]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_136'>136</span>Before leaving the chamber the explorer should notice
+the shaft of a pillar which protrudes from the south-western
+wall, like the shafts of the pillars built into the open sides of
+the tower N.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Returning once more to the vestibule <i>b</i>, we proceed to the
+breach in the wall <i>g</i>, and enter E. That the breach was made
+on a systematic plan is clear from the half-arch <i>f</i>, which was
+constructed to support the building after the wall <i>g</i> had been
+weakened by the opening made in it.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>E was a stairway-turret, in which an inclined plane, without
+steps, winded about the newel, <i>e</i>, upwards and downwards.
+The turret is filled with earth to the present level of the
+vestibule <i>b</i>, so that one cannot descend the stairway below
+that point; but there can be no doubt whatever that the stairway
+conducted to the original floor of the vestibule <i>b</i>, and to the
+gateway <i>l</i>, and thence to the tunnel and postern in the counter-fort.
+Whether it led also to an entrance to the chambers C C C
+cannot be discovered under existing circumstances. The object
+of the breach in <i>g</i> was to establish communication between the
+stairway, the vestibule <i>b</i>, and the tunnel Z, after the original
+means of communication between them had been blocked by
+raising the floors of the tunnel and the vestibule to their present
+level, in the manner already described.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The stairway winds thirteen times about its newel, and
+ascends to within a short distance of the summit of the turret.
+The summit was open, and stood on the level of the court of
+the Palace of Blachernæ; but the opening could be reached
+from the stairway only by means of a ladder removable at the
+pleasure of the guardians of the palace, and was, doubtless,
+closed with an iron door for the sake of greater security.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The walls of the turret were pierced by four loop-holes;
+two, placed one above the other, looking towards the north-west,
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_137'>137</span>and two, similarly arranged, facing the north-east. Those on
+the lower level are closed, but the two higher ones have
+been enlarged, and admit to the fine <b>L</b>-shaped chamber in
+the upper story of the tower, the chamber above F and the
+vestibule <i>b</i>.</p>
+
+<div id='fig137'  class='figcenter id005'>

+<p>The <b>L</b>-Shaped Chamber in Upper Story of Tower <b>S</b>.</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>The chamber measures some 39 feet by 33 feet, and was
+lighted by a large square window in the north-western wall.
+A circular aperture in the floor communicated with F; and a
+corresponding aperture in the vaulted ceiling opened on the roof
+of the tower. The walls are furnished with numerous air-passages,
+to prevent dampness, and are covered with a thin
+coating of plaster. The vault of the ceiling, if we may judge
+from the small cavities for joists below the spring of the arch,
+was concealed by woodwork. Indeed, a portion of one of the
+cross-beams is still in its place.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_138'>138</span>The stairway communicated, moreover, with the tower N,
+through narrow vaulted passages that pierce the north-eastern
+wall of the tower at three points; first, at the original level of
+the vestibule <i>b</i>, and then at the level of the two tiers of loopholes.
+These passages are choked with earth, but by the partial
+excavation of the lowest one of them access was obtained to
+the small chamber D. It had no windows, but a round aperture
+in the ceiling connected it with some unexplored part of the
+tower.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>From this survey of the buildings before us some satisfactory
+inferences may certainly be drawn regarding their history and
+character; although several points must remain obscure until
+the removal of the earth accumulated within the ruins renders
+a complete exploration possible.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the first place, the character of these walls and towers
+can be understood only in the light of the fact that whatever
+other function belonged to them, they were intended to support
+the terraced hill on which the Palace of Blachernæ, to their
+rear, was constructed. The unusual height and thickness of
+the walls, the extent to which buttresses are here employed,
+were not demanded by purely military considerations. Such
+features are explicable only upon the view that the fortifications
+of the city at this point served also as a retaining wall,
+whereby the Imperial residence could be built upon an
+elevation beyond the reach of escalade, and where it would
+command a wide prospect of the city and surrounding country.
+In fact, the buildings before us resemble the immense substructures
+raised on the Palatine hill by Septimius Severus
+and Caracalla to support the platform on which the Ædes
+Severianæ were erected.<a id='r523' /><a href='#f523' class='c009'><sup>[523]</sup></a></p>

+<div class='ic002'>
+<p>“The Tower of Anemas” and “The Tower of Isaac Angelus” (From The South-West).</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the next place, there are at several points in these
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_139'>139</span>buildings so many alterations; there is so much undoing of
+work done, either rendering it useless or diverting it from its
+original purpose, that these various constructions cannot be
+treated as parts of an edifice built on a single systematic
+plan, but as an agglomeration of different erections, put up at
+various periods to serve new requirements arising from time
+to time. For instance, the loopholes in the wall AA have no
+symmetrical relation to the buttress-walls that divide the compartments
+C; some of them, as already stated, are partially
+closed by the buttresses; others are entirely so, their
+existence being discoverable only from the interior of the
+galleries in the body of that wall. It is hard to believe that
+such inconsistent arrangements can be the work of one mind
+and hand.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Again: the tower S and the tower N block the windows in
+four of the compartments C. Surely the same builder would
+not thus go back upon his work. Once more; the loopholes
+in the stairway-turret afford no light in their present position,
+the lower pair being closed, the upper pair forming entrances
+to the <b>L</b>-shaped chamber. This is not an original arrangement.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In view of such peculiarities, the following conclusions
+regarding these buildings seem the most reasonable, in the
+present state of our knowledge:</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(1) The wall AA was at one time the only erection here;
+and the two galleries, constructed in the thickness of the wall
+formed with their loopholes two tiers of batteries, so to speak,
+for the discharge of missiles upon an enemy attacking this
+quarter of the city. A similar system of defence was employed
+for the protection of the smaller residence forming part
+of the Palace of the Porphyrogenitus,<a id='r524' /><a href='#f524' class='c009'><sup>[524]</sup></a> and for the protection
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_140'>140</span>of the Palace of the Bucoleon, situated on the city walls near
+Tchatlady Kapou.<a id='r525' /><a href='#f525' class='c009'><sup>[525]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>When precisely the wall AA was erected cannot be determined;
+but, judging from its height, and the manner in which
+it was equipped for defence, the probable opinion is that this
+was done after the Palace of Blachernæ had assumed considerable
+importance. Possibly, the work belongs to the reign
+of Anastasius I.<a id='r526' /><a href='#f526' class='c009'><sup>[526]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(2) At some later period the wall BB, equipped with
+buttresses within and without, was erected to support the
+wall AA. The demand for such support was doubtless occasioned
+by additions to the Palace of Blachernæ, which already in the
+tenth century comprised several edifices on the hill behind
+the wall AA.<a id='r527' /><a href='#f527' class='c009'><sup>[527]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>As BB superseded the original function of the galleries in
+AA, it was a matter of little moment how many of the loopholes
+in the latter were more or less masked by the buttresses built
+transversely between the two walls. It would be enough to
+retain a few loopholes to light the galleries. At the same
+time, advantage was taken of the buttresses to construct, in
+the space between AA and BB, three stories of chambers, for
+such purpose as the authorities of the palace might decide.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(3) The manner in which the towers S and N block the
+windows in four of the compartments C is evidence that these
+towers were additions made later than the age of BB. This
+view is corroborated by the marked difference between the
+masonry of the towers and the masonry of the wall BB, against
+which they are built.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(4) The towers S and N are so different in their respective
+styles of construction that they cannot be contemporaneous
+buildings.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_141'>141</span>(5) The tower S is later than the tower N, for their common
+wall, H, is strictly the north-eastern side of the tower N, as the
+similarity of the masonry of H to that of the other sides of N
+makes perfectly plain. This similarity is manifest not only in
+the general features of the work, but also in the insertion of
+marble shafts into the wall H; in one instance partially, after
+the odd fashion adopted so extensively in the open sides of the
+tower N. Furthermore, the manner in which the walls of the
+chamber F and the L-shaped chamber in the tower S impinge
+upon the wall H shows that the former were built against the
+latter, and that they are posterior in age.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(6) The stairway-turret E, as the loopholes in its sides prove,
+stood, at one time, in the open light and air. If so, it must be
+older than the apartments <i>b</i>, F, L, in the tower S, which enclose it.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(7) The passages communicating between the stairway and
+the chambers in the tower N render it almost certain that the
+stairway-turret was constructed at the same time as that tower.
+Thus, also, a short and private way from the Palace of Blachernæ
+to the country beyond the city bounds was provided; for it may
+be confidently assumed that at the foot of the stairway there was
+a small gate, corresponding to the gate <i>l</i>, and the postern <i>x</i> at the
+mouth of the tunnel Z.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(8) When the stairway-turret was enclosed by the vestibule <i>b</i>,
+the chamber F, and the <b>L</b>-shaped chamber, the lower loopholes
+of the turret were built up as superfluous, while the upper ones
+were widened to form entrances to the L-shaped chamber.
+Accordingly, the tower S is an old stairway-turret enclosed
+within later constructions.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(9) In view of some great danger, access to the tower S from
+without the city was blocked by building up the postern <i>x</i>,
+the tunnel Z, the gate <i>l</i>, and the vestibule <i>b</i>, to their actual level.
+The portion of the passage still left open was too narrow to be
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_142'>142</span>forced by an enemy, and yet was convenient to be retained
+for the sake of ventilation, or as a way in and out in some
+emergency. At the same time, a breach was made in the wall
+<i>g</i> to place the elevated floor of the vestibule into communication
+with the stairway-turret E.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>(10) What precise object the chambers C in the body of the
+city wall were intended to serve is open to discussion. In the
+opinion of Dr. Paspates, who was the first to explore them, they
+were prison-cells. Possibly the lowest series of these chambers
+may have been employed for that purpose; but, taken as a whole,
+the suite of apartments between AA and BB do not convey the
+impression of being places of confinement. Their spaciousness,
+their number, the free communication between them, the size of
+the windows in the two upper stories, the proximity of the
+windows to the floor, are not the characteristics of dungeons.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>It is not impossible that these chambers were store-rooms or
+barracks,<a id='r528' /><a href='#f528' class='c009'><sup>[528]</sup></a> and that through the loopholes in the wall BB the
+palace was defended as, previously, through the openings in AA.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Communication between the three stories must have been
+maintained by means of wooden stairs or ladders. In the north-eastern
+wall of C’—the chamber which gave access from the
+court of the Palace of Blachernæ at <i>v</i> to the second story of the
+tower N—there was an archway, now filled up, opening upon the
+level of the highest series of chambers C. When the archway
+was closed, communication was held through a breach at <i>h</i>.
+Possibly the same series of chambers was entered from the north-eastern
+end of the upper gallery in AA. Contrary to what
+might be supposed, there was no access to the two upper series
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_143'>143</span>of chambers from the stairway-turret. Whether the lowest
+series could be reached by a door at the foot of the stairway
+cannot be ascertained, on account of the earth in which the
+lower portion of the stairway lies buried. But it is extremely
+improbable that such was the case, for the stairway-turret
+belongs, we have seen, to a later age than the chambers in the
+body of the adjoining wall.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>With these points made clear, we are in a position to consider
+how far the identification of the towers N and S, respectively,
+with the historical towers of Isaac Angelus and Anemas can be
+established.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>According to Nicetas Choniates, the Tower of Isaac Angelus
+stood at the Palace of Blachernæ, and was built by that emperor
+to buttress and to defend the palace, and to form, at the same
+time, a residence for his personal use.<a id='r529' /><a href='#f529' class='c009'><sup>[529]</sup></a> It was constructed with
+materials taken from ruined churches on the neighbouring seashore,
+and from various public buildings in the city, ruthlessly
+torn down for the purpose.<a id='r530' /><a href='#f530' class='c009'><sup>[530]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>This account makes it certain, in the first place, that the
+Tower of Isaac Angelus was one of the three towers which flank
+the portion of the city walls now under consideration, the portion
+which forms the north-western side of the enclosure around the
+Palace of Blachernæ; for these towers, and they only, at once
+defended and supported the terrace upon which that palace
+stood.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>This being the case, it is natural to suppose that the Tower
+of Isaac Angelus is the tower which bears the inscription in
+his honour.<a id='r531' /><a href='#f531' class='c009'><sup>[531]</sup></a> But this opinion is attended with difficulties. For
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_144'>144</span>the tower in question does not differ in any marked manner
+from an ordinary tower in the fortifications of the city. It
+is not specially fitted for a residence, nor does it possess features
+which render it worthy to have a place in history among the
+notable buildings erected by a sovereign. Furthermore, it is
+not constructed, to any striking degree, with materials drawn
+from other edifices.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>To all this it is possible to reply that we do not see the tower
+in its original condition; that its upper story, which stood on the
+level of the palace area to the rear, is gone; that the tower, as it
+stands, consists largely of Turkish repairs; that the extent to
+which, in its original state, it resembled, or failed to resemble, the
+description of the Tower of Isaac Angelus as given by Nicetas,
+cannot be accurately known, and that, consequently, the question
+regarding the identity of the tower must be decided by the
+inscription found upon the building. There is force in this rejoinder;
+and it is the conclusion we must adopt, if there are not
+stronger reasons for identifying the Tower of Isaac Angelus with
+one or other of the two adjoining towers, N and S.</p>
+

+<a href='images/fig_fp144-large.jpg'><img src='images/fig_fp144.jpg' alt='“The Tower of Anemas” and “The Tower of Isaac Angelus” (From the North-West).' class='ig001' /></a>
+<div class='ic002'>
+<p>“The Tower of Anemas” and “The Tower of Isaac Angelus” (From the North-West).</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>The claims of the tower N to be the Tower of Isaac Angelus
+rest upon its strong resemblance to the description which Nicetas
+has given of the latter building. His description seems a photograph
+of that tower. Like the Tower of Isaac Angelus, the tower
+N, besides defending and supporting the Palace of Blachernæ,
+was pre-eminently a residential tower; and the numerous pillars
+employed in its construction betray clearly the fact that it was
+built with materials taken from other edifices, some of which may
+well have been churches. The upper story, which was reached
+from the court of the palace behind it, formed a spacious apartment
+22-¼ by 27-½ feet, and about 18 feet high. Its north-western
+wall was pierced by three large round-headed windows, opening,
+as pillars placed below them for supports indicate, upon a balcony
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_145'>145</span>which commanded a beautiful view of the country about the
+head of the Golden Horn. Another window led to a small balcony
+on the south-western side of the tower, while a fifth looked
+towards the Golden Horn and the hills beyond. The apartment
+might well be styled the Belvedere of the Palace of Blachernæ.
+The lower story of the tower, which was reached by a short
+flight of steps descending from the palace court to the vestibule
+C1, cannot be explored, being filled with earth; but, judging from
+its arched entrance and the large square window in the north-western
+wall, it was a commodious room, with the advantage of
+affording more privacy than the apartment above it. What was
+the object of the dark rooms situated below these two stories, at
+different levels of the tower, and reached from the stairway-turret
+outside it, is open to discussion. The stairway, as already intimated,
+led also to the surrounding country. Taking all these
+features of the tower N into consideration, a very strong case
+can be made in favour of the opinion that it is the Tower of
+Isaac Angelus.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>How this conclusion should affect our views regarding the
+inscription in honour of that emperor found on the tower L is a
+point about which minds may differ. The inscription may be in
+its proper place, and thereby prove that the tower it marks was
+also an erection of Isaac Angelus, although not the one to which
+Nicetas refers. And some countenance is lent to this view by
+a certain similarity in the Byzantine masonry of the towers L
+and N. But, on the hypothesis that L and N were both erected
+by Isaac Angelus, it is extremely strange that the inscription in
+his honour should have been placed upon the inferior tower, and
+not upon the one which formed his residence and had some
+architectural pretensions.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>This objection can be met, indeed, either by assuming
+that another inscription in honour of Isaac Angelus stood on
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_146'>146</span>the tower N, but has disappeared; or, with Dr. Paspates,<a id='r532' /><a href='#f532' class='c009'><sup>[532]</sup></a>
+it may be maintained that the inscription is not in its proper
+place, but belonged originally to the counter-fort supporting the
+tower N, and was transferred thence to the tower L when the
+latter was repaired.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In favour of this alternative it may be urged that the tower
+L has, manifestly, undergone repair; that some of the materials
+used for that purpose may have been taken from the counter-fort
+G4, which has been to a great extent stripped of its facing;
+and that the inscription on the tower L is not in a symmetrical
+position, being too much to the left, and somewhat too high for
+the size of its lettering. But to all this there is the serious objection
+that the inscribed slab is found in the Byzantine portion
+of the tower; while the idea that the counter-fort G4 was
+defaced in Byzantine days for the sake of repairing the tower
+L is against all probability.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>We pass next to the identification of the Tower of Anemas
+with the tower S. The Tower of Anemas is first mentioned by
+Anna Comnena in the twelfth century, as the prison in which a
+certain Anemas was confined for having taken a leading part in
+a conspiracy to assassinate her father, the Emperor Alexius
+Comnenus. According to the Imperial authoress, it was a tower
+in the city walls in the neighbourhood of the Palace of Blachernæ,
+and owed its name to the circumstance that Anemas was the
+first prisoner who occupied it.<a id='r533' /><a href='#f533' class='c009'><sup>[533]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Another indication of the situation of the tower is given by
+Leonard of Scio,<a id='r534' /><a href='#f534' class='c009'><sup>[534]</sup></a> when he states that the towers “Avenides”
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_147'>147</span>stood near the Xylo Porta, the gate at the extremity of the land-walls
+beside the Golden Horn. To this should be added the
+indication that the tower was one of a group, for Phrantzes<a id='r535' /><a href='#f535' class='c009'><sup>[535]</sup></a>
+and Leonard of Scio employ the plural form, “the Anemas
+Towers.”</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Whether the tower was an erection of Alexius Comnenus or
+an earlier building is not recorded; but in either case it was in
+existence in the reign of that emperor, and, consequently, was
+older than any work belonging to the time of Isaac Angelus.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>With these indications as the basis for a decision, can the
+claim that the tower S is the Tower of Anemas be maintained?
+The tower answers to the description of Anna Comnena in
+being a tower in the city walls close to the Palace of Blachernæ.
+Nor is its situation at variance with the statement of Leonard
+of Scio that it stood in the neighbourhood of the Xylo Porta,
+although there are three towers between it and that gate. Furthermore,
+it is one of a pair of towers that might be designated
+the Towers of Anemas.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The main reason, however, which induced Dr. Paspates to
+identify the tower S with the prison of Anemas was the
+proximity of the tower to the chambers C in the adjoining wall,
+which he regarded as prison-cells. This view of the character of
+those chambers is, for reasons already intimated, extremely
+doubtful. But even if prison-cells, that fact alone would not
+be conclusive proof that they were the prison of Anemas.
+For the prison of Anemas is always described as a tower; and
+by no stretch of language can that designation be applied
+to the chambers in the body of the wall.<a id='r536' /><a href='#f536' class='c009'><sup>[536]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_148'>148</span>The force of this objection would, indeed, be met if proof
+were forthcoming that the tower S gave access to the chambers
+C, and formed an integral part of a common system. But
+the evidence is all on the other side. From the manner in
+which the tower S blocks the windows of some of the chambers,
+it is clear, as already observed, that the tower S and the adjoining
+chambers belong to different periods, and were built without
+regard to each other. There is no trace of any means of
+communication between the tower and the two upper series of
+chambers, and we have no reason to think, but the reverse, that
+the lowest series of chambers could be reached from it. So
+far as the chambers are concerned, the tower S is an independent
+building, upon whose identity they throw no light.
+Whether it was the prison of Anemas must be determined
+by its own character. Was it suitable for a prison? Above all,
+is its age compatible with the view that it was the prison of
+Anemas?</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In answer to the former question, it cannot be denied that
+the tower S could be used as a place of confinement. The
+chamber F, which is supposed to have been a cistern, may
+have been a dungeon. The <b>L</b>-shaped chamber in the second
+story may have served for the detention of great personages
+placed under arrest. Still, on the whole, the tower S seems
+rather an extension of the residential tower N than a dungeon.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>But the point of most importance in the whole discussion is
+the comparative ages of the towers N and S. As a building in
+existence when Alexius Comnenus occupied the throne of Constantinople,
+the Tower of Anemas was, at least, seventy years
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_149'>149</span>older than the Tower of Isaac Angelus. Hence, if the tower S
+is the former, it must be older than the tower N, which Dr.
+Paspates identifies with the Tower of Isaac Angelus. But the
+evidence which has been submitted goes to prove that the tower
+S is more recent than the tower N. These towers, therefore,
+cannot be, respectively, the Tower of Anemas and the Tower of
+Isaac Angelus. Nothing can prove that the tower S is the
+Tower of Anemas, until S is shown to be earlier than N, or
+the identification of the tower N with the Tower of Isaac Angelus
+is abandoned as erroneous.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Dr. Paspates,<a id='r537' /><a href='#f537' class='c009'><sup>[537]</sup></a> indeed, assigned the tower S to the reign of
+Theophilus in the ninth century, on the ground that a block of stone
+upon which some letters of that emperor’s name are inscribed is
+built into the tower’s north-western face. But a little attention
+to the way in which that stone is fitted into the masonry will
+make it perfectly evident that the stone has not been placed
+there to bear part of an inscription, but as ordinary material of
+construction, obtained from some other edifice. Consequently,
+it throws no light upon the age of the tower.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Where, then, was the Tower of Anemas? Perhaps, in our
+present state of knowledge, no answer which will commend itself
+as perfectly satisfactory can be given to the question.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The simplest solution of the difficult problem is that the
+tower L, which bears the inscription in honour of Isaac Angelus,
+is, after all, the tower erected by that emperor, though greatly
+altered by injuries and repairs; and that the towers N and S
+together constituted the prison-tower of Anemas, S being a later
+addition.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Others may prefer to hold the view that the tower N is the
+Tower of Anemas, and the tower S that of Isaac Angelus,
+pointing in support of this opinion to the cells in the tower N,
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_150'>150</span>reached from the stairway by narrow vaulted passages. This
+would mean, practically, that the Tower of Isaac Angelus was
+the Tower of Anemas renovated and enlarged.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Possibly, others may be disposed, notwithstanding the inscription
+of Isaac Angelus upon it, to regard the tower L as the
+Tower of Anemas, and the tower N, with the later addition of
+S, as that of Isaac Angelus.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>If none of these views is acceptable, we must fall back upon
+the opinion which prevailed before Dr. Paspates discovered the
+chambers adjoining the tower N and S, viz. that the towers N
+and S together formed the Tower of Isaac Angelus, and that
+the Tower of Anemas was one of the three towers in the
+Heraclian Wall.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>This was the view of the Patriarch Constantius,<a id='r538' /><a href='#f538' class='c009'><sup>[538]</sup></a> who writes:
+“The Tower of Anemas still exists. On its side facing the Holy
+Well of Blachernæ it has a large window, with a smaller one
+above.”</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>This opinion prevailed in Constantinople also in the sixteenth
+century, for Leunclavius was informed by Zygomales that the
+Towers of Anemas were the Towers of the Pentapyrgion,<a id='r539' /><a href='#f539' class='c009'><sup>[539]</sup></a> the
+name given to the citadel formed by the Walls of Heraclius and

+<p>View of the Interior of “The Prison of Anemas” Looking North-West (Being The Substructures Supporting The Palace of Blachernæ).</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p class='c012'>There is nothing in this view opposed to the fact that the
+Tower of Anemas stood in the city walls near the Palace of
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_151'>151</span>Blachernæ; and a strong argument in its favour may be based
+upon the association of the tower with the Xylo Porta by
+Leonard of Scio, when he relates to Pope Nicholas how
+Jerome from Italy, and Leonardo de Langasco from Genoa,
+at the head of their companions-in-arms, guarded the Xylo
+Porta and the towers named Avenides (clearly Anemades):
+“Hieronymus Italianus, Leonardus de Langasco, Genovensis,
+cum multis sociis, Xylo Portam et turres quos Avenides vocant,
+impensis cardinalis reparatas, spectabant.”<a id='r540' /><a href='#f540' class='c009'><sup>[540]</sup></a> This statement is
+repeated by Zorzo Dolfin.<a id='r541' /><a href='#f541' class='c009'><sup>[541]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Xylo Porta, without question, was at Aivan Serai
+Kapoussi, to the north of the Wall of Heraclius, and immediately
+beside the Golden Horn;<a id='r542' /><a href='#f542' class='c009'><sup>[542]</sup></a> and the towers which would
+most appropriately be entrusted to soldiers defending that
+entrance are the towers nearest to it, <i>viz.</i> the three towers of
+the Heraclian Wall. At all events, the designation, “turres
+Avenides,” as used by Leonard of Scio, must include them,
+even if it comprised others also.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>One thing is certain; the commonly accepted view that the
+towers N and S represent, respectively, the historical Towers
+of Isaac Angelus and of Anemas must, in one way or another,
+be corrected.</p>
+<h3 class='c010'>NOTE.</h3>
+<p class='c015'>Two or three additional passages which bear upon the question under discussion
+may be noticed, notwithstanding their vagueness.</p>
+
+<p class='c005'>The statement of Phrantzes (p. <a href='#Page_252'>252</a>), among others, that in the siege of 1453 the
+charge of the palace and all about it was entrusted to Minotto, the Baillus of the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_152'>152</span>Venetian colony, might be employed in favour of the view that the “turres Avenides”
+which Leonard of Scio associates with the Xylo Porta, and assigns to Jerome and
+Leonardus de Langasco, could not be the towers S and N, but the towers of the
+Heraclian Wall. For the towers S and N, being attached to the Palace of Blachernæ,
+would fall under the care of Minotto. There is force in the argument. But it is
+weakened by statements of Pusculus (iv. 173) and Zorzo Dolfin (s. 55), which imply
+that the palace defended by Minotto was the Palace of the Porphyrogenitus. For
+both of these writers place the Gate of the Palace (see above, p. 47) between the
+Gate of Charisius (Edirnè Kapoussi) and the Gate of the Kaligaria (Egri Kapou), and
+Pusculus describes the palace concerned as “Regia celsa,” an apt description of a
+building seated, like Tekfour Serai, upon the walls.</p>
+
+<p class='c005'>The references made to the Tower of Anemas, though not under its name, by the
+Spanish ambassador Clavijo, who visited the Byzantine Court in 1403, should not
+be overlooked (see <i>Constantinople, ses Sanctuaires et ses Reliques</i>, translated into
+French by Ph. Bruun, Odessa). Speaking of the Church of Blachernæ (p. 15), he
+describes it as “située dans la ville près d’un châteaufort, servant de demeure aux
+empereurs; ce fort a été démoli par un empereur, parce qu’il y avait été enfermé par
+son fils.” The fact that Clavijo identifies the Church of Blachernæ by its vicinity to
+the Tower of Anemas may be pressed into the service of the opinion that the tower in
+question stood in the Wall of Heraclius. For there is no more appropriate way of
+indicating the situation of that church than by saying that it stands a little to the rear
+of the Heraclian Wall. So appropriate is that mode of identification, that the
+Patriarch Constantius has recourse to it when, conversely, he indicates the situation of
+the Tower of Anemas (which he considered to be the southernmost Heraclian tower):
+“The Tower of Anemas still exists,” he says. “On its side facing the Holy Well of
+Blachernæ it has a large window, with a smaller one above” (see above, p. <a href='#Page_150'>150</a>).
+But, unfortunately, to describe one building as “near” another is often the most
+tantalizing aid to its discovery that can be offered. The towers S and N cannot be
+said to be far from the Church of Blachernæ. Perhaps some injury to one of the
+Heraclian towers might explain the statement of Clavijo, that the Tower of Anemas
+had been destroyed; but could he have mistaken the citadel formed by the Walls of
+Heraclius and Leo for an Imperial residence? Such language suggests rather the
+towers S and N.</p>
+
+<p class='c005'>Again, the declaration of the Spanish envoy that the tower (“une prison très
+profonde et obscure”) had been demolished by the Emperor John VI. Palæologus
+(“<i>L’empereur s’empressa de démolir la tour où il avait été enferme</i>,” pp. 19, 20)
+might seem to imply that the tower has disappeared, and thus to relieve us from
+all the labour involved in the effort to identify it. But the statement of Leonard of
+Scio that the “turres Avenides” were repaired by Cardinal Isidore (“impensis cardinalis
+reparatas”), while it confirms the declaration of Clavijo to some extent, is opposed
+to the idea of the total destruction and disappearance of the famous prison-tower.</p>
+
+<p class='c005'>Or, the statement that the Tower of Anemas was demolished, when combined
+with the statement that it was repaired, might seem to open a way out of the difficulties
+involved in regarding the tower S as the Tower of Anemas, although more recent
+than the tower N. May not the tower S be, in its present form, a reconstruction,
+after the reign of Isaac Angelus, of a tower originally older than that emperor’s day,
+and be thus at once more ancient and more modern than the tower N? But this
+solution of the puzzle cannot be allowed; there is the fatal objection that the common
+wall II belonged first to the tower N.</p>
+
+<p class='c005'>Finally, in the Venetian account of the attempt made by Carlo Zen to liberate
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_153'>153</span>John VI. Palæologus from the Tower of Anemas, Zen is represented as reaching the
+foot of the tower in a boat, and clambering up to the window of the prison by means
+of a rope. This would exclude the claim of a Heraclian tower to be the Tower of
+Anemas, for that wall could not be reached by boat. One might approach the towers
+S and N in that way, if the moat before Leo’s Wall extended from the Golden Horn
+to the Wall of Manuel Comnenus, and was full of water. But this is an extremely
+improbable supposition, when we hear nothing of the sort in the history of the attack
+upon this side of the city by the Crusaders in 1203, notwithstanding the minute
+description of the territory from the pen of Nicetas Choniates and other historians of
+that time. Nor is such a thing mentioned in the history of the last siege, when the
+moat before the Wall of Leo was reconstructed. The whole story of Carlo Zen’s
+efforts to deliver John Palæologus savours too much of romance to have any topographical
+value. The story may be read in Le Beau’s <i>Histoire du Bas-Empire</i>,
+vol. xii. pp. 174-179.</p>

+  <h2 id='chap11' class='c006'>CHAPTER XI. <br /> INMATES OF THE PRISON OF ANEMAS.</h2>
+</div>
+<p class='c007'>Michael Anemas, the first to occupy the prison, and from
+whom it obtained its name,<a id='r543' /><a href='#f543' class='c009'><sup>[543]</sup></a> was a descendant of Emir Abd-el-Aziz
+ben Omar ben Choaib, known in Byzantine history as
+Courapas, and famous as the defender of Crete, when Nicephoras
+Phocas wrested that island from the Saracens, in the reign of
+Romanus II.<a id='r544' /><a href='#f544' class='c009'><sup>[544]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Upon the return of the victorious troops to the capital, the
+Emir and his family were carried to Constantinople to grace the
+triumph with which the success of Nicephorus was celebrated.
+And as the vanquished chief, his wives, his eldest son Anemas,
+and other members of his family, all clothed in long white robes,
+passed along the triumphal way in chains, the dignity of their
+demeanour attracted universal attention, and produced a most
+favourable impression. To the credit of the conquerors, be it
+said, the Emir was, thereafter, treated with all due regard and
+generosity. He received a large estate in the neighbourhood
+of the capital, and was allowed to end his days in peace,
+surrounded by his friends, and unmolested on account of his
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_155'>155</span>faith. Had he seen his way to renounce the creed of his fathers
+he would have been created a senator.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>His son Anemas embraced Christianity, entered the army
+of the Empire, and took part in the war against the Russians
+during the reign of Zimisces, when he distinguished himself
+by his bravery, and fell in battle in personal encounter with
+Swiatoslaf, the Russian king.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>A martial spirit continued to characterize the family in subsequent
+generations, and was not least conspicuous in Michael
+Anemas and his three brothers, the representatives of the race
+under Alexius Comnenus. But they allowed themselves to
+become involved in a conspiracy against that emperor, and upon
+the discovery of the plot were condemned to imprisonment and
+the loss of their eyes.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>To accompany the infliction of punishment with every circumstance
+that could humiliate the criminal, and excite popular
+contempt and derision was after the heart of those times.
+Accordingly, Michael Anemas and his companions, attired in
+sacking, with their beards plucked out, their heads shorn and
+crowned with the horns and the intestines of oxen and sheep,
+were led forth, mounted sideways on oxen, and in this guise,
+conducted first around the court of the Great Palace, and then
+along the Mesè of the city, crowded with excited spectators.
+But the appearance of the guilty men excited commiseration
+rather than ridicule. The agony of Michael, as he implored to
+be put to death rather than to suffer blindness, touched all
+hearts. Even Anna Comnena, who witnessed the scene, and
+whose filial sentiments might have hardened her heart against
+the conspirators, was so deeply affected that she determined to
+do all in her power to save Michael from the cruel loss of his
+eyes. Finding her mother, Anna brought her to the harrowing
+spectacle, certain it would have the desired effect. The empress
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_156'>156</span>was overwhelmed to tears, and hastening back to the palace,
+prevailed upon Alexius to spare the prisoners’ sight. By this
+time the unhappy men were approaching the Amastrianon, a
+public place where stood an arch on which was a bas-relief representing
+two hands pierced by a spear. Once a criminal on his
+way to execution passed that point he was beyond the reach of
+the Imperial clemency. A few moments more, and the messenger
+of mercy sent by Alexius would have been too late. But just
+before the doomed men reached the fatal point, the order for the
+mitigation of their sentence was delivered, and Anemas was
+simply imprisoned in the tower which was to perpetuate his
+name. There he remained for a considerable period; but at
+length was pardoned and set free.<a id='r545' /><a href='#f545' class='c009'><sup>[545]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Before Anemas was released, another notable personage was
+committed to the tower, Georgius, Duke of Trebizond, who
+attempted, in 1107, to establish the independence of his
+province; as though to anticipate the creation of the Empire
+of Trebizond in the thirteenth century.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>He proved a refractory prisoner, venting his rage in unceasing
+imprecations upon the head of his Imperial master.
+With the hope of conciliating the rebel, he was repeatedly visited
+by his old friend, the Cæsar Nicephorus Bryennius, the husband
+of Anna Comnena. For a long time, however, all friendly
+overtures proved unavailing. But at last the tedium of protracted
+confinement broke the prisoner’s spirit, and induced
+him to submit; upon which he was liberated, and loaded with
+wealth and honours.<a id='r546' /><a href='#f546' class='c009'><sup>[546]</sup></a></p>

+<div class='ic002'>
+<p>Chamber in “The Prison of Anemas.”</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>The next inmate of the tower was the Emperor Andronicus
+Comnenus, of infamous memory, upon his capture after his flight
+from the insurrection which his vices and tyranny had provoked
+in the capital, in 1185. To Andronicus imprisonment was no
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_157'>157</span>new experience, for already, during the reign of Manuel Comnenus,
+he had been imprisoned twice elsewhere. On both these
+occasions, however, he had succeeded in effecting his escape.
+But the prison of Anemas was to prove his last, and he quitted
+it, only to die at the hands of his infuriated subjects. On the
+eve of his execution he was bound with chains about the neck
+and feet, like some wild animal, and dragged into the presence
+of his successor, Isaac Angelus, to be subjected to every indignity.
+He was reviled, beaten, struck on the mouth; he had his
+hair and beard plucked, his teeth knocked out, his right hand
+struck off with an axe, and then was sent back to his cell, and
+left there without food or water or attention of any kind for
+several days. When brought forth for execution, he was
+dressed like a slave, blinded of one eye, mounted upon a
+mangy camel, and led in mock triumph through the streets of
+the city to the Hippodrome, amidst a storm of hatred and insult,
+seldom, if ever, witnessed under similar circumstances in a
+civilized community. At the Hippodrome he was hung by the
+feet on the architrave of two short columns which stood beside
+the figures of a wolf and a hyena, his natural associates. But
+neither his pitiable condition, nor his quiet endurance of pain,
+nor his pathetic cry, “Kyrie Eleison, Why dost Thou break the
+bruised reed?” excited the slightest commiseration. Additional
+and indescribable insults were heaped upon the fallen tyrant, until
+his agony was brought to an end by three men who plunged their
+swords into his body, to exhibit their dexterity in the use of arms.<a id='r547' /><a href='#f547' class='c009'><sup>[547]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the course of the following century a different personage
+figured in the history of the prison. This was Veccus, Chartophylax
+of St. Sophia at the time of his confinement, and subsequently
+Patriarch of Constantinople.<a id='r548' /><a href='#f548' class='c009'><sup>[548]</sup></a> He incurred the
+displeasure of Michael Palæologus by opposing the union of
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_158'>158</span>the Eastern and Western Churches, through which the emperor
+hoped to secure the goodwill and assistance of the Pope in
+maintaining the newly recovered throne of Constantinople.
+Before an assembly convened to discuss the question in the
+presence of Michael, Veccus, who had been appointed the
+spokesman of the opponents of the Imperial policy on account
+of his abilities, denounced the Latins as heretics with whom
+ecclesiastical communion was simply impossible. The emperor
+resented the affront, but, unwilling to make it the official
+ground of proceedings against the popular champion of orthodoxy,
+sought other reasons for punishing him. Accordingly,
+he accused Veccus of having thwarted the marriage which had
+been arranged between the Princess Anna and the second
+son of the Kral of Servia; another of Michael’s measures
+to make his position secure.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The charge had some foundation. For upon the completion
+of the negotiations for the marriage, the bride-elect had started
+for her destined home under the care of Veccus and of the
+Patriarch of Constantinople. But when the party reached
+Berœa, Veccus, acting on the private instructions of the empress,
+left Anna and the patriarch, and pushed forward to investigate
+the character and manners of the people among whom the
+princess was to cast her lot. The primitive and boorish
+ways of the Servian Court did not commend themselves
+to Veccus, as a suitable environment for a lady brought up in
+the palaces of Constantinople. The splendour of the tent which
+Veccus occupied was lost upon the Kral; while the eunuchs in
+the household of the Byzantine princess shocked the sovereign’s
+unsophisticated mind. Pointing to the wife of his elder son,
+simply attired, and busy spinning wool, the rough monarch
+exclaimed, “That is how we treat our brides!” Nor was Veccus
+more favourably impressed by other experiences. The embassy
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_159'>159</span>which the Kral sent to welcome the bride-elect was robbed on
+the journey by brigands; and the Byzantine envoys awoke one
+morning to find that all their fine horses had been stolen during
+the night. Under these circumstances, Veccus thought the
+wisest course was to conduct Anna back to Constantinople;<a id='r549' /><a href='#f549' class='c009'><sup>[549]</sup></a>
+and for this action Michael now saw fit to prosecute him.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>But the court which was appointed to try Veccus declined
+to judge a priest in the service of the patriarch without that prelate’s
+orders; and as such orders were not forthcoming, the trial
+could not proceed. At this juncture, Veccus had an interview
+with the emperor and proposed, for the sake of peace, to resign
+office and emoluments, and to go into exile. Michael did not
+condescend a reply. Whereupon the Chartophylax, fearing the
+worst, sought asylum in the Church of St. Sophia, and there
+awaited the Imperial decision. He was soon summoned to
+appear again before the emperor, the order being written in
+vermilion ink, as a mark of esteem and a pledge of personal
+safety. But on the road to the palace he was treacherously
+arrested, and carried off to the prison of Anemas under charge
+of the Varangian guards.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>With Veccus out of the way, Michael pushed the matter of
+the union of the churches more hopefully, and in furtherance of
+the Imperial policy caused a list of passages favourable to the
+orthodox character of the Latin Church to be compiled from
+the writings of theologians of repute, and submitted to the
+patriarch and his clergy for consideration. The patriarch
+replied by presenting a list of counter passages, and the situation
+remained what it had been before Veccus was imprisoned.
+Thereupon the suggestion was made that the first list should
+be forwarded to the cell of the Chartophylax. Such a man,
+it was urged, would never alter his views unless convinced by
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_160'>160</span>reason. The suggestion was adopted, and after reading the
+extracts, Veccus acknowledged that the argument for the union
+of the Churches was stronger than he had hitherto believed.
+His mind, however, he added, could not be satisfied on the
+point at issue by the perusal of isolated passages, torn from
+their connection, and he therefore begged permission to study
+the works from which the extracts submitted to him had been
+taken, pleading as an excuse that he was more versed in the
+writings of classic authors than in patristic learning. Upon this
+he was released, and provided with the books necessary for the
+full prosecution of his inquiries.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The result was that, ere long, he found himself in agreement
+with the emperor, and the scheme for the union of the Churches
+was pursued with renewed ardour. Delegates proceeded from
+Constantinople to the Council assembled at Lyons, and there on
+June 29, 1274, the two great divisions of Christendom were
+formally united. On the second day of June in the following
+year Veccus was elevated to the patriarchal throne.<a id='r550' /><a href='#f550' class='c009'><sup>[550]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>It is natural to suspect that the prison of Anemas had a share
+in the conversion of Veccus. But the historian Pachymeres
+ascribes the change to candour of judgment and sincere love of
+the truth. Certain it is that Veccus suffered for the views he
+adopted, and died twenty-five years later in the prison of the
+Castle of St. Gregorius, near Helenopolis (Yalova), a martyr to
+his convictions.<a id='r551' /><a href='#f551' class='c009'><sup>[551]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Tower of Anemas was probably also the prison to which
+the Despot Michael was committed by Andronicus II. on the
+charge of treason. He had been created Despot by Michael
+Palæologus, and was married to the Princess Anna, above
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_161'>161</span>mentioned, after the failure of the Servian marriage to which
+reference has been made. Upon her death, he fell into
+disgrace at the Court for marrying a daughter of the Bulgarian
+king Terter, the repudiated wife of the King of Servia. To this
+he added treasonable offences, and was, therefore, confined with
+his wife and children in the prison attached to the Great Palace.
+On attempting to escape, he was removed to the prison at
+Blachernæ<a id='r552' /><a href='#f552' class='c009'><sup>[552]</sup></a> for greater security.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Another inmate of the prison of Anemas was Syrghiannes,
+a political adventurer conspicuous for his intrigues during the
+struggle between Andronicus II. and Andronicus III., taking
+sometimes the one side and sometimes the other.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>He had been immured elsewhere for five years on the
+charge of conspiracy to assassinate the elder emperor, but
+in 1322, at the instance of John Cantacuzene, then Grand
+Domestic, he was transferred to the Tower of Anemas as a
+more tolerable place of confinement, in the hope of conciliating
+him; and there he was permitted to receive visits from his
+mother, and even to have his wife and children with him.<a id='r553' /><a href='#f553' class='c009'><sup>[553]</sup></a>
+Ultimately he was released, but the old spirit was too strong to
+be vanquished by suffering or by kindness. He returned to
+a life of intrigue and rebellion, and his career was closed by
+the hands of assassins.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Later in the century, members of the Imperial family were
+once more imprisoned in the Tower of Anemas, under circumstances
+which afford a vivid picture of an empire weakened by
+domestic feuds, and distracted by the rival ambitions of foreign
+powers that were awaiting its dissolution, and ready to appropriate
+its territories.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_162'>162</span>There John VI. Palæologus imprisoned his eldest son
+Andronicus, and there, upon the escape of the latter, he was
+himself imprisoned with his two younger sons, Manuel and
+Theodore.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Andronicus had been excluded from the succession to the
+throne, on account, it is said, of his indifference to the financial
+straits of his father, when the latter was detained at Venice for
+inability to meet the demands of creditors. The disinherited
+prince, seeking an opportunity for revenge, found a kindred
+spirit in a son of Amurath I., Saoudji, who was jealous of his
+younger brother Bajazet, because he was the Sultan’s favourite child.
+The two princes, bound by a common grievance, joined forces to
+supplant their respective parents on the throne, and raised the
+standard of revolt. Amurath crushed the rebellion with remorseless
+severity, and after putting out the eyes of his own son, called
+upon the emperor to punish Andronicus in the same manner.
+Andronicus was consequently committed to the Tower of Anemas,
+along with his wife and his son John, a child only five years old,
+and there he and his little boy underwent the operation of being
+blinded. The cruel deed was, however, performed so imperfectly
+that Andronicus recovered the use of one eye, while his son
+suffered only from a squint. Two years were thus passed in the
+tower, after which the prisoners were released, either through the
+intervention of the Genoese, at the price of the concession to
+them of the island of Tenedos, or in compliance with the
+demand of Bajazet.</p>

+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>Free to act, Andronicus made terms both with the Sultan
+and the Genoese, and relying upon their favour, suddenly
+appeared before the capital. As the emperor and his son Manuel
+happened to be staying at the Palace of the Pegè, outside the
+walls, they were easily captured, and upon the surrender of the
+city they were, in their turn, sent, along with Theodore, to the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_163'>163</span>Tower of Anemas, “as Zeus cast his father Chronos and his

+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>Bajazet advised Andronicus to establish his position by
+putting the prisoners to death, but to that depth of inhumanity
+the rebellious son would not descend. Matters remained in this
+condition for two years, and then the captives managed to
+escape. Precisely how they found their way out of the tower is
+a question upon which authorities differ. According to Phrantzes,
+it was by some deception practised on their Bulgarian guards.
+Ducas ascribes the escape to the skill of a certain Angelus, surnamed
+Diabolus, and known by the soubriquet of Diabol-angelus;
+but whether the deliverance was effected through the angelic
+power or the satanic cunning of the man, the historian is unable
+to decide. Chalcocondylas says that the Imperial captives
+broke through the walls of their dungeon with an iron tool,
+furnished by the servant who brought their food. According
+to Venetian authorities, two ineffectual attempts to save the
+emperor were made by Carlo Zen, on the condition that the
+island of Tenedos would be granted to the Republic of Venice,
+thus rescinding the concession of the island to the Genoese by
+Andronicus. The first attempt, it is said, failed because the
+emperor refused to escape without his sons; the second, owing
+to the detection of the plot to deliver him.<a id='r554' /><a href='#f554' class='c009'><sup>[554]</sup></a> Once out of prison,
+John Palæologus and his son Manuel repaired to the Court
+of Bajazet, prevailed upon him to espouse their cause, and so
+compelled Andronicus to surrender the throne.<a id='r555' /><a href='#f555' class='c009'><sup>[555]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Thus the history of the Tower of Anemas reflects the civil
+broils, the tyranny, the ecclesiastical dissensions, the political
+feebleness, and the inability to withstand foreign aggression,
+which marked the decline and fall of the Byzantine Empire.</p>

+  <h2 id='chap12' class='c006'>CHAPTER XII. <br /> THE WALL OF THE EMPEROR HERACLIUS: THE WALL OF THE EMPEROR LEO THE ARMENIAN.</h2>
+</div>
+<p class='c007'>The fortifications extending from the north-western angle of the
+enclosure around the Palace of Blachernæ to the Golden Horn
+consist of two parallel lines, connected by transverse walls, so as
+to form a citadel beside the Golden Horn. The inner wall
+belongs to the reign of Heraclius; the outer is an erection of
+Leo V., the Armenian.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Heraclian Wall was constructed in 627, under the following
+circumstances:—<a id='r556' /><a href='#f556' class='c009'><sup>[556]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Until that year the quarter of Blachernæ, at the foot of
+the Sixth Hill, was a suburb immediately outside the fortifications.<a id='r557' /><a href='#f557' class='c009'><sup>[557]</sup></a>
+The fact that the suburb and its celebrated Church of
+the Theotokos, containing, it was believed, the girdle of the
+Blessed Virgin, were thus exposed to the attacks of an enemy
+did not occasion serious concern. In the opinion of the devout
+citizens of Constantinople, the shrine, so far from needing protection,
+formed one of the strongest bulwarks of the capital.
+At the worst, when danger threatened, the treasures of the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_165'>165</span>sanctuary could be readily transported into the city, as was done
+in the reign of Justinian the Great.<a id='r558' /><a href='#f558' class='c009'><sup>[558]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>But in 627, Constantinople learned what a siege really meant.
+Persia and the Empire were then at war with each other; and
+while Heraclius was carrying the campaign into the enemy’s
+country, a Persian army had encamped at Chalcedon for the
+purpose of joining the Avars in laying siege to the capital.<a id='r559' /><a href='#f559' class='c009'><sup>[559]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>As the Byzantine fleet, however, commanded the Bosporus,
+the allies could not unite their forces, and the Avars were left
+to act alone. The undertaking proved too difficult for the barbarians,
+notwithstanding the vigour with which it was conducted,
+and the siege was raised. But before retiring, a troop of Avaric
+horse set itself to devastate the suburbs, and having fired the
+Church of SS. Cosmas and Damianus, and the Church of St.
+Nicholas, dashed into the open ground beside the Church of
+Blachernæ, intent upon devoting also that sacred edifice to the
+flames. For some reason, that purpose was not carried into
+effect, and the church escaped all injury. This marvellous
+deliverance enhanced, indeed, the reputation of the Theotokos,
+but it likewise aroused a sense of the danger to which her
+shrine was liable, and so the Government of the day ordered
+the immediate erection of a wall along the western side of the
+Blachernæ quarter, to place the church beyond the reach of
+hostile attack in future. The wall was known, until the erection
+of the Wall of Leo, as the Single Wall of Blachernæ (Μονοτείχος
+Βλαχερνῶν:<a id='r560' /><a href='#f560' class='c009'><sup>[560]</sup></a> τεῖχος τῶν Βλαχερνῶν).<a id='r561' /><a href='#f561' class='c009'><sup>[561]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The wall is flanked by three fine hexagonal towers, built
+towards their summit in brick, perhaps, as Dr. Paspates<a id='r562' /><a href='#f562' class='c009'><sup>[562]</sup></a> suggests,
+in order to lighten the weight of constructions erected on marshy
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_166'>166</span>ground. They are among the finest towers in the circuit of
+the fortifications. The interior of the southernmost tower, the
+only one which can be safely examined, measures 32-½ by about
+19 feet, and was in three stories. Upon the face of the tower
+is an inscription, in letters formed with pieces of marble, in
+honour of the Emperor Michael, probably Michael II.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Between the first and second towers is a gate, named the
+Gate of Blachernæ (πόρτα τοῦ Μονοτείχους τῶν Βλαχερνῶν),<a id='r563' /><a href='#f563' class='c009'><sup>[563]</sup></a>

+<p>General View of the Walls of the City From The Hill On Which The Crusaders Encamped in 1203.</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>It has been generally supposed that the Wall of Heraclius
+comprised not only the portion of the city walls just indicated,
+but the whole line of fortifications extending from the Kerko
+Porta to the Golden Horn.<a id='r564' /><a href='#f564' class='c009'><sup>[564]</sup></a> The evidence on the subject is,
+however, in favour of the opinion that the Wall of Heraclius was
+only the portion of the fortifications before us. It is the extent
+implied in the description of the Heraclian Wall, as a wall erected
+to bring the Church of Blachernæ within the line of the city
+bulwarks.<a id='r565' /><a href='#f565' class='c009'><sup>[565]</sup></a> That is an apt description of a wall extending from the
+foot of the Sixth Hill to the Golden Horn; it is a very inadequate
+description of a line of bulwarks from the Kerko Porta to the
+harbour. In the next place, more extensive fortifications were not
+required to protect the church, seeing it was well defended on
+the south by the acropolis on the western spur of the Sixth
+Hill. All that was necessary for the further security of the
+church was a wall on the west side of the plain on which it
+stood. Furthermore, the fortifications extending from the
+Kerko Porta to the foot of the Sixth Hill, commonly ascribed to
+Heraclius, have been proved to be the work of other hands, the
+greater part being the Wall of Manuel Comnenus,<a id='r566' /><a href='#f566' class='c009'><sup>[566]</sup></a> while the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_167'>167</span>remainder formed, originally, the defences of the Fourteenth
+Region.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Wall of Leo the Armenian was erected in 813 to
+strengthen the defence of this part of the capital, in view of the
+preparations which the Bulgarians under Crum were making for
+a second attack upon Constantinople.<a id='r567' /><a href='#f567' class='c009'><sup>[567]</sup></a> Crum had retired from
+his first assault upon the city, resolved not only to retrieve
+the defeat he had sustained, but also to punish the treacherous
+attempt upon his life, when he was proceeding to negotiate terms
+of peace with the emperor.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Arrangements had been made for holding a conference
+between the two sovereigns at a short distance to the west of the
+Heraclian Wall, on the explicit understanding that all persons
+present were to attend unarmed; so little confidence had the
+two parties in each other. But in flagrant breach of this
+agreement, Leo placed three bowmen in ambush near the place
+of meeting, with orders to shoot at the Bulgarian king, upon a
+preconcerted signal. In due time Crum arrived; but he had
+scarcely dismounted from his horse when his suspicions of a plot
+were aroused, and, springing into his saddle, he galloped back
+towards his camp. The arrows of the soldiers in ambush flew
+after him, wounding him although he escaped with his life.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Byzantine historian who records the incident explains
+the failure of the plot as a Divine punishment upon the sins of
+his countrymen.<a id='r568' /><a href='#f568' class='c009'><sup>[568]</sup></a> Crum saw the dastardly act in a different
+light, and, vowing vengeance, withdrew to Bulgaria to prepare
+for another war. He died before he could carry out his intention,
+but meanwhile Leo had put himself in readiness for the expected
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_168'>168</span>attack by constructing a new wall and a broad moat in front of
+the Wall of Heraclius.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Wall of Leo stands 77 feet to the west of the Wall of
+Heraclius, running parallel to it for some 260 feet, after which it
+turns to join the walls along the Golden Horn. Its parapet-walk
+was supported upon arches, which served at the same time
+to buttress the wall itself, a comparatively slight structure about
+8 feet thick. With the view of increasing the wall’s capacity for
+defence, it was flanked by four small towers, while its lower
+portion was pierced by numerous loopholes. Two of the towers
+were on the side facing the Golden Horn, and the other two
+guarded the extremities of the side looking towards the country
+on the west. The latter towers projected inwards from the rear
+of the wall, and between them was a gateway corresponding to
+the Heraclian Gate of Blachernæ.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The citadel formed by the Walls of Heraclius and Leo was
+designated the Brachionion of Blachernæ (τὸ Βραχιόνιον τῶν
+Βλαχερνῶν).<a id='r569' /><a href='#f569' class='c009'><sup>[569]</sup></a> Subsequent to the Turkish Conquest it was named
+after the five more conspicuous towers which guarded the
+enclosure, the Pentapyrgion,<a id='r570' /><a href='#f570' class='c009'><sup>[570]</sup></a> on the analogy of the Heptapyrgion,
+or Castle of Severn Towers (Yedi Koulè) at the southern
+end of the land walls.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Near the southern end of the wall, where it has evidently
+undergone repair, two inscriptions are found. One is in honour
+of Michael II. and Theophilus, the great Emperors:</p>
+
+<p class='c013'>ΜΙΧΑΗΛ ΚΑΙ ΘΕΟΦΙΛΟΥ ΜΕΤΑ ... Ν ΒΑΣΙ....</p>
+
+<p class='c012'>The other gives the date †ϚΤΛ† (822), which belonged to the
+sole reign of the former emperor. These repairs were probably
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_169'>169</span>made when Thomas, the rival of Michael for the throne, attacked
+the fortifications in this quarter. It was precisely in the year
+822 that the rebel general encamped beside the Monastery of
+SS. Cosmas and Damianus (above Eyoub), and then, armed with
+battering-rams and scaling-ladders, advanced to the assault of the
+towers of Blachernæ, behind which the standard of Michael
+floated over the Church of the Theotokos.<a id='r571' /><a href='#f571' class='c009'><sup>[571]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The tower at the north-western corner of the enclosure was
+reconstructed by the Emperor Romanus, as an inscription upon
+it proclaims:</p>
+
+<div id='fig169'  class='figcenter id007'>
+<img src='images/fig169.jpg' alt='“The Tower of St. Nicholas was restored from the foundations, under Romanus, the Christ-loving Sovereign.”' class='ig001' />
+<div class='ic002'>
+<p>“The Tower of St. Nicholas was restored from the foundations, under Romanus, the Christ-loving Sovereign.”</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>To which of the four emperors named Romanus the work
+should be assigned is not easy to decide. The tower must have
+derived its name from the Church of S. Nicholas in this vicinity,
+for the site of that church is marked by the Holy Well which
+still flows amid the graves and trees of the Turkish cemetery
+within the Brachionion of Blachernæ, an object of veneration
+alike to Moslems and orthodox Greeks. The grounds on which
+the opinion rests are that, previous to the erection of the
+Heraclian Wall, the church is described as without the city
+bounds, in the district of Blachernæ;<a id='r572' /><a href='#f572' class='c009'><sup>[572]</sup></a> while after the erection
+of Leo’s Wall it is spoken of as within the city limits, and close
+to the gate by which persons proceeded from the Blachernæ
+quarter to the Cosmidion.<a id='r573' /><a href='#f573' class='c009'><sup>[573]</sup></a> This is exactly how a building
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_170'>170</span>beside the Holy Well between the two walls, and near the
+Gate of Blachernæ which pierces them, would be described
+under such circumstances.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The proximity of these walls to the Palace of Blachernæ, as
+well as their comparative weakness, combined to make them the
+scene of many historical events.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>While the Wall of Heraclius stood alone, it was through
+the Gate of Blachernæ that Apsimarus was admitted by his
+adherents, in 698, to supplant Leontius;<a id='r574' /><a href='#f574' class='c009'><sup>[574]</sup></a> by the same entrance
+Justinian II., in 705, attempted to force his way into the city
+to dethrone Apsimarus;<a id='r575' /><a href='#f575' class='c009'><sup>[575]</sup></a> and through it, again, Theodosius III.,
+in 716, entered and deposed Anastasius II.<a id='r576' /><a href='#f576' class='c009'><sup>[576]</sup></a> It was before the
+Heraclian Wall that Crum and Leo the Armenian met to confer,
+under the circumstances already narrated.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>This portion of the fortifications continued to be a favourite
+point of attack also after the erection of Leo’s Wall. Here, as
+above stated, the rebel Thomas sought to break into the city in
+822;<a id='r577' /><a href='#f577' class='c009'><sup>[577]</sup></a> here, in 924, Simeon of Bulgaria and Romanus Lecapenus
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_171'>171</span>met to conclude peace,<a id='r578' /><a href='#f578' class='c009'><sup>[578]</sup></a> taking the greatest precautions against
+the repetition of the treachery which disgraced the former
+meeting of a Bulgarian king with a Byzantine emperor. In
+1047, in the reign of Constantine Monomachus, the rebel general
+Tornikius took up his position before these walls, and having
+routed a company of raw recruits who had sallied forth against
+him by the Gate of Blachernæ, would have rushed into the city
+with the fugitives, had not the difficulty of crossing the moat
+given the defenders of the walls time to close the entrance.<a id='r579' /><a href='#f579' class='c009'><sup>[579]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Through the Gate of Blachernæ the friends of Alexius Comnenus
+sallied from the city, in 1081, to join the standard of
+revolt against Nicephorus Botoniates; and it was at the Imperial
+stables outside the gate that they obtained horses to reach as
+fast as possible the Monastery of SS. Cosmas and Damianus,
+baffling pursuit by having taken the precaution to ham-string
+the animals they did not require.<a id='r580' /><a href='#f580' class='c009'><sup>[580]</sup></a> In 1097, Godfrey de Bouillon
+encamped on the hills and plains without these walls. While the
+negotiations with the crafty Alexius Comnenus were proceeding,
+the envoys of the Crusaders were on one occasion detained so long
+by the emperor as to arouse suspicions of treachery on his part;
+whereupon a band of Crusaders rushed from the camp at the
+Cosmidion, and in their attempt to enter the city and rescue
+their comrades set fire to the Gate of Blachernæ.<a id='r581' /><a href='#f581' class='c009'><sup>[581]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In 1203 these fortifications were attacked by the land forces
+of the Fourth Crusade.<a id='r582' /><a href='#f582' class='c009'><sup>[582]</sup></a> The Venetian fleet, bearing the banner
+of St. Mark, occupied the Golden Horn, under the command of
+Dandolo; the army of the expedition under Baldwin held the
+hill immediately to the west of the Palace of Blachernæ. Upon
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_172'>172</span>the walls and towers of the citadel stood the Varangian guards,
+composed mainly of Englishmen and Danes, loyal to their
+trust, and the peers of the invaders in courage and strength.
+Alexius III. and his courtiers watched the scene from the
+palace windows. At length, on the 17th of July, the Crusaders
+delivered a grand assault by sea and land; the army attacking
+the fortress formed by the Walls of Heraclius and Leo; the fleet
+attempting the adjoining fortifications along the harbour.
+With the help of ladders, fifteen knights and sergeants scaled
+the outer Wall, and engaged the defenders on the summit in
+a desperate struggle. It was a bold attempt, but the odds
+were too great, and the assailants, leaving two of their number
+prisoners, were driven off by the swords and battle-axes of the
+Varangians. Many other Crusaders, also, who had advanced
+to support the attack, were wounded, and the day went so hard
+against the Latins at this point that Dandolo, who had captured
+twenty-five towers of the harbour fortifications, was obliged to
+abandon the advantage he had gained, and hastened with his

+<p class='c008'>Finally, in 1453, the moat before these walls, which had
+been filled with earth in the course of time, was excavated by
+the crews of the Venetian galleys present at the siege under the
+command of Aluxio Diedo. It was made 200 paces long and
+8 feet wide, the emperor and his courtiers being present at the
+work, while two sentries, stationed on the neighbouring hill,
+watched the Turkish outposts.<a id='r583' /><a href='#f583' class='c009'><sup>[583]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>From the northern extremity of the Heraclian Wall, a short
+wall was carried to the water’s edge, across the western end of
+the street that runs along the shore of the Golden Horn, outside
+the Harbour Walls; thus protecting the latter line of fortifications
+from attack by the land forces of an enemy.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_173'>173</span>At the same time, for the convenience of traffic, the wall
+was pierced by a gate, named, from its material, the Xylo Porta
+(Ξυλόπορτα, Ξυλίνη), the Wooden Gate.<a id='r584' /><a href='#f584' class='c009'><sup>[584]</sup></a> It was in its place
+as late as 1868, and bore an inscription in honour of Theophilus.<a id='r585' /><a href='#f585' class='c009'><sup>[585]</sup></a>
+Very probably, the wall was erected by that emperor when he
+reconstructed the defences along the harbour. In accordance
+with its situation, the Xylo Porta is described sometimes as
+the gate at the northern extremity of the land fortifications;<a id='r586' /><a href='#f586' class='c009'><sup>[586]</sup></a>
+and sometimes as the gate at the western end of the walls along
+the Golden Horn.<a id='r587' /><a href='#f587' class='c009'><sup>[587]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Du Cange<a id='r588' /><a href='#f588' class='c009'><sup>[588]</sup></a> identified the Porta Xylo Kerkou with this gate.
+But the former was an entrance in the Theodosian lines;<a id='r589' /><a href='#f589' class='c009'><sup>[589]</sup></a> it led
+directly into the city, and was built up in the reign of Isaac
+Angelus<a id='r590' /><a href='#f590' class='c009'><sup>[590]</sup></a>—facts which did not hold true of the Xylo Porta.
+Furthermore, Ducas expressly distinguishes the two entrances.<a id='r591' /><a href='#f591' class='c009'><sup>[591]</sup></a>
+Or the facts in the case may be stated thus: The Gate of the
+Xylokerkus was in existence before the erection of the wall in
+which the Xylo Porta stood; the former entrance being not later
+than the reign of Anastasius I., in the fifth century, the latter
+not earlier than the reign of Heraclius, in the seventh century,
+when the wall on the west of Blachernæ was erected. Therefore
+the two entrances cannot be the same gate under different
+names.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In Dr. Mordtmann’s opinion,<a id='r592' /><a href='#f592' class='c009'><sup>[592]</sup></a> the Postern of Kallinicus (τὸ
+τῆς Καλλινίκου παραπόρτιον), mentioned by Byzantine writers,<a id='r593' /><a href='#f593' class='c009'><sup>[593]</sup></a>
+was the Xylo Porta under an earlier name. And what is
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_174'>174</span>known regarding that postern lends support to this view. Like
+the Xylo Porta, the Postern of Kallinicus stood near the Church
+of Blachernæ,<a id='r594' /><a href='#f594' class='c009'><sup>[594]</sup></a> and led to the Church of SS. Cosmas and
+Damianus in the Cosmidion,<a id='r595' /><a href='#f595' class='c009'><sup>[595]</sup></a> as well as to the bridge across the
+head of the Golden Horn.<a id='r596' /><a href='#f596' class='c009'><sup>[596]</sup></a> The identity is confirmed by the
+fact that the bridge to which the road issuing from the Xylo
+Porta conducted was sometimes called the Bridge of St. Kallinicus,
+after a church of that dedication in its neighbourhood.<a id='r597' /><a href='#f597' class='c009'><sup>[597]</sup></a></p>
+<h3 class='c010'>The Bridge across the Golden Horn.</h3>
+<p class='c007'>The earliest mention of a bridge across the Golden Horn is
+found in the <i>Notitia</i>.<a id='r598' /><a href='#f598' class='c009'><sup>[598]</sup></a> It was situated in the Fourteenth Region,
+and, like the bridge across the Tiber, was a wooden structure,
+“pontem sublicium.” This was superseded by a bridge of stone,<a id='r599' /><a href='#f599' class='c009'><sup>[599]</sup></a>
+which Justinian the Great constructed in 528, “so that one might
+pass,” as the <i>Paschal Chronicle</i><a id='r600' /><a href='#f600' class='c009'><sup>[600]</sup></a> expresses it, “from the opposite
+side (ἀπὸ τῆς ἀντι πέραν) to the all-happy city.” The new building
+went by various names in the course of its long history. It
+was known as the Bridge of Justinian (ἡ Ἰουστινιανοῦ γέφυρα),<a id='r601' /><a href='#f601' class='c009'><sup>[601]</sup></a> in
+honour of its constructor; as the Bridge of St. Kallinicus (ἡ γέφυρα
+τοῦ ἁγίου Καλλινίκου),<a id='r602' /><a href='#f602' class='c009'><sup>[602]</sup></a> after a church dedicated to that saint near
+its southern end; as the Bridge of St. Panteleemon (ἡ τοῦ ἁγίου
+Παντελεήμονος γέφυρα),<a id='r603' /><a href='#f603' class='c009'><sup>[603]</sup></a> after a church of that name at its northern
+end; as the Bridge of Camels (ἡ τῆς Καμήλου γέφυρα),<a id='r604' /><a href='#f604' class='c009'><sup>[604]</sup></a> on account,
+probably, of its frequent use by caravans of camels, bringing
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_175'>175</span>charcoal to the city; as the Bridge of Blachernæ,<a id='r605' /><a href='#f605' class='c009'><sup>[605]</sup></a> from the
+district in which it stood. Whether it was the bridge of twelve
+arches near St. Mamas mentioned by the Anonymus and
+Codinus<a id='r606' /><a href='#f606' class='c009'><sup>[606]</sup></a> is uncertain, for we cannot be sure that all references
+to the Church of St. Mamas allude to the church of that dedication
+which stood outside the walls of the city, and overlooked
+the head of the Golden Horn.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The bridge crossed the Barbyses<a id='r607' /><a href='#f607' class='c009'><sup>[607]</sup></a> (Kiat-haneh Sou, one of
+the streams commonly styled “The Sweet Waters of Europe”),
+where that stream enters the Golden Horn,<a id='r608' /><a href='#f608' class='c009'><sup>[608]</sup></a> in the district of the
+Cosmidion<a id='r609' /><a href='#f609' class='c009'><sup>[609]</sup></a> (Eyoub). When Gyllius visited the city the stone
+piers of an ancient bridge could be seen, in summer, when the
+water was low, standing opposite a point between the northern
+extremity of the land walls and Aivan Serai: “Liquet pontem
+illum fuisse ubi pilæ cernuntur lapideæ antiqui pontis, sed non
+extra aquam eminentes nisi aliquando æstate, sitæe inter angulum
+urbis Blacherneum et suburbium, quod Turci appellant Aibasarium.”<a id='r610' /><a href='#f610' class='c009'><sup>[610]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the siege of 627 the flotilla of log-boats, which the
+Slavonian allies of the Avars brought to take part in the operations,
+was moored behind this bridge, watching for an opportunity
+to descend into the Golden Horn, and harass the northern side
+of the city.<a id='r611' /><a href='#f611' class='c009'><sup>[611]</sup></a> Over it Heraclius came to make his triumphal
+entrance into the city, after his return from the Persian War. It
+was a circuitous road for him to take from the Palace of the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_176'>176</span>Hiereia (Fener Bagtchèssi, on the Bay of Moda, near Kadikeui),
+which he occupied upon his arrival within sight of the capital.
+His most direct course was to proceed from that palace to the
+Golden Gate by boat across the Sea of Marmora. But the hero
+of seven glorious campaigns was possessed by such an insuperable
+dread of the water that, for a long time, nothing, not even
+a conspiracy against his throne, could induce him to overcome
+his fear and cross to the city. At length the difficulty was met
+in the following manner. A bridge of boats was placed across
+the Bosporus, from the bay of Phedalia (Balta Liman)<a id='r612' /><a href='#f612' class='c009'><sup>[612]</sup></a> to the
+opposite Asiatic shore, the parapets of the bridge being constructed
+of great branches and dense foliage, so as to hide from
+view the water on either hand; and over this roadway the
+emperor was persuaded to pass on horseback, as through a
+thicket on <i>terra firma</i>. Once on the European side of the straits,
+it would have been natural for him to take the road leading
+towards the city along the shore. But rather than keep near the
+water, Heraclius struck inland, for the valley at the head of the
+Golden Horn, to reach the side of the harbour on which the city
+stood, by the bridge over the narrow stream of the Barbyses.<a id='r613' /><a href='#f613' class='c009'><sup>[613]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Near the bridge the Crusaders, under Godfrey de Bouillon,
+encamped in 1096.<a id='r614' /><a href='#f614' class='c009'><sup>[614]</sup></a> Over it the Crusaders, under the Emperor
+Conrad, passed in 1147, to ravage the suburbs on the northern
+side of the harbour.<a id='r615' /><a href='#f615' class='c009'><sup>[615]</sup></a> To it, in 1203, the army of the Fourth
+Crusade marched, from Galata, in battle array, and, finding it
+had been cut down by the Greeks, repaired it, and crossed to
+encamp on the hill fronting the Palace of Blachernæ. “Et là
+(<i>i.e.</i> au bout du port),” to quote the picturesque language of
+Ville-Hardouin,<a id='r616' /><a href='#f616' class='c009'><sup>[616]</sup></a> “il y a un fleuve qui se jette dans la mer, qu’on
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_177'>177</span>ne peut pas passer sinon par un pont de pierre. Les Grecs
+avaient coupé le pont; et les barons firent travailler l’armée
+tout le jour et toute la nuit pour arranger le pont. Le pont fut
+ainsi arrangé, et les corps de bataille armés au matin; et ils
+chevauchèrent l’un après l’autre, ainsi qu’ils avaient été ordonnés.
+Et ils vout devant la ville.” Twice in 1328, and once in 1345,
+Cantacuzene<a id='r617' /><a href='#f617' class='c009'><sup>[617]</sup></a> encamped his troops on the meadows beside the
+bridge, while he endeavoured to gain the city by parleying with
+its defenders at the Gate of Gyrolimnè.</p>

+  <h2 id='chap13' class='c006'>CHAPTER XIII. <br /> THE SEAWARD WALLS.</h2>
+</div>
+<p class='c007'>Owing to the unique maritime position occupied by Constantinople,
+the defence of the shores of the capital was a matter of
+secondary importance. So long as the Empire retained the
+command of the sea, a city accessible by water only through the
+narrow defiles of the Hellespont and the Bosporus had little
+reason to apprehend a naval attack.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>This immunity was, it is true, seriously affected when the
+Saracens and the Republics of Italy became great sea-powers.
+Still, even then, the situation of the city rendered an assault with
+ships an extremely difficult operation. The northern shore of
+the city could be put beyond the reach of the enemy by a chain
+extended across the narrow entrance of the Golden Horn;
+while the currents that swept the Marmora shore were ready to
+carry a fleet out to sea, or to hurl it against the rocks. According
+to Ville-Hardouin,<a id='r618' /><a href='#f618' class='c009'><sup>[618]</sup></a> it was the dread of those currents that, in
+1204, deterred the Venetian fleet, under Dandolo, from attacking
+the walls beside the Sea of Marmora, after the failure of the
+attempt upon the fortifications along the Golden Horn.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_179'>179</span>Other natural allies to withstand a naval attack were, moreover,
+found in the violent storms to which the waters around the
+city are liable. Such a storm discomfited the great Saracen
+fleet in the siege of 718.<a id='r619' /><a href='#f619' class='c009'><sup>[619]</sup></a> In 825, a tempest compelled Thomas,
+the rival of Michael II., to withdraw his ships from action;<a id='r620' /><a href='#f620' class='c009'><sup>[620]</sup></a>
+while in 865 a storm destroyed the first Russian flotilla that
+entered the Bosporus.<a id='r621' /><a href='#f621' class='c009'><sup>[621]</sup></a> In the long history of the Byzantine
+Empire there is only one instance of a successful naval assault
+upon Constantinople, the gallant capture of the city in 1204
+by the Venetians. That victory, however, was due as much to
+the feeble spirit exhibited by the defenders, notwithstanding
+the advantages of their position, as to the bravery and skill
+of the assailants.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>But though the seaward walls did not possess the military
+consequence of the land walls, they are interesting on account
+of their connection with important political events, and, above all,
+for their intimate association with the commercial activity of the
+greatest emporium of trade during the Middle Ages.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The history of the construction of these walls has already
+been noticed incidentally, when tracing the gradual expansion of
+the city.<a id='r622' /><a href='#f622' class='c009'><sup>[622]</sup></a> In the days of Byzantium they proceeded, we have
+seen, from the Acropolis (Seraglio Point) to the Neorium, on the
+Golden Horn; and to the point subsequently called Topi, on
+the Sea of Marmora. Under Constantine the Great they were
+carried to the Church of St. Antony Harmatius, on the northern
+side of the city; and to the Church of St. Æmilianus, on the
+southern. In 439, Theodosius II. prolonged the lines to meet
+the extremities of the land wall at Blachernæ, on the one hand,
+and the Golden Gate, on the other.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The history of the repair of these walls from time to time is
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_180'>180</span>a long one. For while comparatively secure from injury by
+the accidents of war, they were liable to be rudely shaken by
+earthquakes, like other public buildings of the city, while their
+proximity to the sea exposed them in a special manner to
+damage by damp and storm.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>During the earlier days of the Empire, indeed, when the
+Imperial navy ruled the sea, and no hostile fleet dared approach
+the city, the condition of these fortifications was often neglected;
+but as the sea-power of the Empire decayed, and that of other
+nations grew stronger, the defences along the shores of the city
+assumed greater interest, and their maintenance in proper order
+became one of the principal cares of the State.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The earthquake of 447, so ruinous to the new land wall of
+Anthemius, injured also the seaward walls, especially the portion
+beside the Sea of Marmora. As an inscription over Yeni Kapou<a id='r623' /><a href='#f623' class='c009'><sup>[623]</sup></a>—the
+gate at the eastern end of Vlanga Bostan—proclaimed, the
+damage was repaired by the Prefect Constantine when he restored
+the other fortifications of the city which had suffered from that
+terrible earthquake.<a id='r624' /><a href='#f624' class='c009'><sup>[624]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>There is no record of repairs for the next two hundred and
+fifty years. But the state of these walls could not have been
+altogether unsatisfactory during that period, for they were
+prepared to withstand two fleets which threatened the southern
+side of the city in the seventh century: first, when the ships of
+Heraclius came, in 610, to overthrow the tyranny of the infamous
+Phocas; and again, when the Saracens besieged Constantinople
+from 673-678.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>With the accession of Tiberius Apsimarus the shore defences
+entered upon a new era of their history. Admiral of the Imperial
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_181'>181</span>fleet in the Ægean when the Saracens marched victoriously
+from the banks of the Nile to the Atlantic, and alive to the
+power of the enemy upon the sea, as well as upon land, he was
+in a position to appreciate the necessity of being ready to repel
+attack at every point. Hence, upon his return to Constantinople,
+he ordered the walls of the capital, which had for some time
+been grossly neglected, to be put into a state of defence.<a id='r625' /><a href='#f625' class='c009'><sup>[625]</sup></a> Some
+eight years later, however, Anastasius II. found it expedient to
+attend to the seaward walls again,<a id='r626' /><a href='#f626' class='c009'><sup>[626]</sup></a> in view of the formidable
+preparations made by the Saracens for their second attack upon
+the capital of Eastern Christendom; and so effective was the
+work done, that, in the great crisis of 718, the city defied a fleet
+of 1200 vessels.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the spring of 764 an unusual occurrence shook the walls
+about the point of the Acropolis. The preceding winter had
+been one of Arctic severity. If the figures of Theophanes may
+be trusted, the sea along the northern and western shores of the
+Euxine was frozen to a distance of one hundred miles from land,
+and to a depth of sixty feet; and upon this foundation of solid ice
+a mass of snow forty-five feet high accumulated. As soon as
+the breath of spring liberated the frost-bound waters, a long
+procession of ice-floes came filing down the Bosporus, on their
+way to the southern seas. They came in such numbers that
+they packed in the narrow channel, and formed an ice-pile at
+the opening into the Sea of Marmora, extending from the
+Palace of Hiereia (Fener Bagtchessi) to the city, and from
+Chrysopolis to Galata, and as far as Mamas at the head of the
+Golden Horn.<a id='r627' /><a href='#f627' class='c009'><sup>[627]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>At length the ice divided again, and as its several parts
+swayed in the swollen currents, one huge iceberg came dashing
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_182'>182</span>against the pier at the point of the Acropolis. Another, larger,
+followed, and hurled itself against the adjacent wall with a
+violence which shook the whole neighbourhood. The monstrous
+mass was broken by the concussion in three fragments, still
+so large that they overtopped the city bulwarks and invested
+the apex of the promontory from the Mangana to the Port
+Bosporus, overawing the city, and crushing, it would appear, the
+fortifications.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Extensive repairs of these walls were commenced in the reign
+of Michael II., and completed by his son Theophilus on a scale
+which amounted to a work of reconstruction.<a id='r628' /><a href='#f628' class='c009'><sup>[628]</sup></a> Under the former
+emperor the rebel Thomas had besieged the city and forced the
+chain across the entrance of the Golden Horn, proving, for the
+first time, that even the fortifications in that quarter might be
+attacked by a bold enemy. The Saracens, moreover, displaying
+new vigour, had taken Sicily and Crete, and in 829 defeated
+the Imperial fleet in the Ægean. Accordingly, it is not strange
+that Theophilus ordered the old ramparts along the shores of the
+city to be replaced by loftier and stronger fortifications, and
+that in the execution of the undertaking he spared no labour or
+expense. “The gold coins of the realm,” says the chronicler,
+“were spent as freely as if worthless pebbles.”<a id='r629' /><a href='#f629' class='c009'><sup>[629]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The satisfaction of Theophilus with the result was displayed
+in the extraordinary number of the inscriptions which he placed
+upon the new walls and towers, to commemorate his work. No
+other emperor has inscribed his name upon the walls so frequently.
+And the fortifications he erected endured, with but
+little change, to the last days of the Empire, and bear his stamp
+even in their ruin.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Of the inscriptions referred to, the following are found on the
+walls along the Sea of Marmora:</p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_183'>183</span>On the curtain-wall immediately to the north of Deïrmen

+<p class='c012'>These words read like a dedication prayer for the preservation

+<p class='c008'>Upon the fortifications along the Golden Horn some twenty
+inscriptions in honour of Theophilus have been noted, similar
+to those found on the fortifications beside the Sea of Marmora,
+but they have for the most part disappeared in the destruction of
+the walls, from time to time, in carrying out city improvements.
+The most important to recall are the legends in which the name
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_185'>185</span>Michael was associated with that of Theophilus. In two
+instances the former name preceded the latter; while in five
+instances the latter name preceded the former. The only satisfactory
+explanation of this variation is that in the first case the
+Michael intended was Michael II., the father of Theophilus; and
+that in the second case the allusion was to Michael III., the son
+of Theophilus. Hence it appears that the restoration of the seaward
+walls was commenced in the reign of Michael II., soon
+after the appointment of Theophilus as his colleague, in 825.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Immediately to the north of the ruins of Indjili Kiosk, beside
+the Sea of Marmora, three inscribed slabs were, until recently,
+found built into the city wall. As the legend was mutilated, its
+full meaning cannot be determined, but it seemed to commemorate
+the restoration of a portion of the wall by Michael III., under
+the superintendence of his maternal uncle, the famous Bardas, the
+commander of the body-guard known as the Scholai (αἱ Σχολαί,

+Although the Turkish troops were in command of the city, the

+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_188'>188</span>Upon the restoration of the Greek Empire in 1261 the
+condition of the seaward walls became a matter of graver importance
+than it had been at any previous period in the history of
+the city. For, until the rise of the Ottoman power, the enemies
+whom Constantinople had then most reason to fear were the
+maritime States of Western Europe, with their formidable fleets.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The loss of the city by the Latins put a new strain upon the
+relations between the East and the West. It provoked more
+intense political antagonism, keener commercial rivalries, and a
+fanatical religious hatred, which all the attempts to unite the
+Churches of divided Christendom only fanned into fiercer flames.
+Nor was the situation improved when Michael Palæologus
+established the Genoese at Galata. A hostile power was then
+planted at the very gates of the capital; a foreign fleet commanded
+the Golden Horn; occasions for misunderstandings
+were multiplied; and selfish intriguers were at hand to foment
+the domestic quarrels of the Empire, and involve it in disputes
+with the rivals of Genoa. “The Roman Empire,” as Gibbon
+observes, “might soon have sunk into a province of Genoa,
+if the Republic had not been checked by the ruin of her
+freedom and naval power.”</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The earliest concern of Michael Palæologus, therefore, after
+the recovery of the city, was to put the fortifications in a condition
+to repel the expected attempt of the Latins to regain the
+place.<a id='r639' /><a href='#f639' class='c009'><sup>[639]</sup></a> Having no time to lose, and as lime and stone were
+difficult to procure, the emperor was satisfied, at first, with
+heightening the walls, especially those near the sea, by the
+erection upon the summit, of great wooden screens, covered with
+hide to render them fire-proof. In this way he raised the walls
+some seven feet.<a id='r640' /><a href='#f640' class='c009'><sup>[640]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>But later in his reign he conceived the ambitious idea of
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_189'>189</span>making the walls along the shores of the city, like the land
+walls, a double line of bulwarks.<a id='r641' /><a href='#f641' class='c009'><sup>[641]</sup></a> The new fortifications, however,

+
+<p class='c008'>Repairs were again executed upon the seaward walls when

+<span class='pageno' id='Page_190'>190</span>crowned and holding an upright sword, was to be seen on a tower
+of the wall surrounding the ancient harbour at Koum Kapoussi.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>So far, at least, as the wall beside the Sea of Marmora was
+concerned, the work of Andronicus II. was soon injured. For
+on the very eve of his death, on the 12th of February, 1332, a
+furious storm from the south burst upon the fortifications beside
+that sea. The waves leaped over the battlements, opened
+breaches in the wall, forced the gates, and rushed in like a
+hostile army to devastate every quarter they could overwhelm.<a id='r645' /><a href='#f645' class='c009'><sup>[645]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Although the fact is not recorded, the damage done on that
+occasion must have been repaired by Andronicus III.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Occasion for attending to the state of the seaward fortifications,
+especially along the Golden Horn, was again given, in the
+course of the conflicts between Cantacuzene and the Genoese of
+Galata.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In 1348 the latter made a violent assault upon the northern
+side of the city, and, although failing to carry the walls, did much
+harm to the shipping, timber-stores, and houses near the water.<a id='r646' /><a href='#f646' class='c009'><sup>[646]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Matters assumed a more serious aspect in 1351. A powerful
+fleet then sailed from Genoa, under the command of Doria, to
+attack Constantinople in support of certain claims put forth by
+the colony at Galata, and on its way up the Sea of Marmora,
+captured the fortified town of Heraclea. The event caused the
+greatest consternation in the capital, and, in view of the enemy’s
+approach, Cantacuzene promptly set the seaward walls in order,
+repairing them where ruined, raising their height, and ordering
+all houses before them to be removed.<a id='r647' /><a href='#f647' class='c009'><sup>[647]</sup></a> He also carried the
+towers higher, by erecting, in the manner usual on such occasions,
+constructions of timber on their summits. And not
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_191'>191</span>satisfied with these precautions, he even excavated a deep
+moat in front of the Harbour Walls, all the way from the Gate
+Xylinè, at Aivan Serai, to the Gate of Eugenius (Yali Kiosk
+Kapoussi), near the Seraglio Point.</p>

+Kaffa, having failed in that object, returned to the Bosporus,
+and sought to compensate for defeat in the Crimea by nothing
+less than the capture of Constantinople itself. The bold attempt
+made with ships carrying 8000 troops, was repulsed, and the
+baffled fleet returned to Italy. But the Genoese of Galata
+determined to continue the struggle; and in the bombardment
+of the walls with cannon, destroyed several warehouses in the
+city, and a tower beside the Gate Basilikè. This attack, likewise,
+ended in failure, and the colony was compelled to pay an

+</div>
+<p class='c007'>The Harbour Fortifications guarded the northern side of the
+city, from the Acropolis (Seraglio Point) to the terminus of the
+land walls at Blachernæ, and, excepting a small portion, consisted
+of a single wall, flanked, according to Bondelmontius, by
+a hundred and ten towers.<a id='r657' /><a href='#f657' class='c009'><sup>[657]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>To accommodate the commerce and traffic of the city, the wall
+was built, for the most part, at a short distance from the water;
+but the strip of ground thus left without the fortifications was
+even narrower in ancient times than it is at present, much of the
+land outside the wall having been made by recent deposits
+of earth and rubbish. This explains how the Venetian fleet, in
+1203 and 1204, was able to approach so near the ramparts that
+troops standing on the flying bridges attached to the ships’ yards
+came to close quarters with the defenders on the walls. Indeed,
+in one case, at least, such a bridge spanned the distance between
+ship and tower, and permitted the assailants to cross over and
+seize the latter.<a id='r658' /><a href='#f658' class='c009'><sup>[658]</sup></a> At the actual distance, however, of the wall from
+the water, such a feat would be impossible, except in the vicinity
+of the Seraglio Point, which was not the quarter attacked by the
+Venetians.</p>
+<div>
+  <span class='pageno' id='Page_195'>195</span>
+  <h3 class='c010'>Gates.</h3>
+</div>
+<p class='c007'>At a short distance to the east of the Xylo Porta a breach
+in the wall marks the site of a gateway named by the Turks
+Kutchuk Aivan Serai Kapoussi—“the Small Gate of Aivan
+Serai.”<a id='r659' /><a href='#f659' class='c009'><sup>[659]</sup></a> It stands at the head of a short street leading southwards
+to the site of the famous Church of the Theotokos of
+Blachernaæ, while to the north is the landing of Aivan Serai
+Iskelessi, which accommodates this quarter of the city. Here,
+probably, was the Porta Kiliomenè (Κοιλιωμένη Πόρτα),<a id='r660' /><a href='#f660' class='c009'><sup>[660]</sup></a> at which
+the emperors—as late, at least, as the beginning of the thirteenth
+century—landed and were received by the Senate, when proceeding
+by water to visit the Church or the Palace of Blachernæ.
+Nowhere else could one disembark so near that sanctuary and
+that palace.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The landing-stage before the gate must, therefore, have been
+the Imperial Pier (Ἀποβάθρα τοῦ βασιλέως) mentioned by
+Nicetas Choniates. Some authorities, it is true, place that landing
+at Balat Kapoussi. But it could not have been there when
+Nicetas Choniates wrote; for that historian<a id='r661' /><a href='#f661' class='c009'><sup>[661]</sup></a> refers to the Apobathra
+of the Emperor to indicate the position of the Wall of Leo,
+which was attacked by the Latins in 1203. Now, points which
+could thus serve to identify each other must have been in close
+proximity. But Balat Kapoussi and the Wall of Leo are too far
+apart for the former to indicate the site of the latter. On the
+other hand, the Wall of Leo and Aivan Serai Iskelessi are very
+near each other.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_196'>196</span>Over the northern entrance to the lower chamber in the
+tower west of the gateway were found, until recently, two blocks
+of stone, upon which the name of St. Pantoleon was rudely
+carved between the figures of two peacocks, or phœnixes,
+symbols of the immortality that rose from the fires of martyrdom.
+Possibly, the chamber was a chapel in which persons entering
+or leaving the city could perform their devotions. According to
+Stephen of Novgorod, the relics of St. Pantoleon reposed in
+the adjoining Church of the Theotokos of Blachernæ.<a id='r662' /><a href='#f662' class='c009'><sup>[662]</sup></a></p>

+
+<p class='c008'>On the east side of the street leading from the Porta
+Kiliomenè to the Church of Blachernæ remains are found of

+
+<p class='c008'>Considerable interest is attached to the Church of St.

+dates only from the beginning of the eighteenth century, the
+original building was a Byzantine foundation, adorned with

+
+<p class='c008'>Soon after leaving the Church of St. Demetrius, and before
+reaching the gate now styled Balat Kapoussi, the city wall was
+pierced by three large archways, 45 to 55 paces apart, and
+alternating with three towers. Balat Kapoussi being only 55
+paces beyond the easternmost archway, here stood four entrances
+into the city, in most unusual proximity to one another. The
+first, or westernmost archway was, at one time, adorned with a
+bas-relief on either side. Tafferner, chaplain to Count Walter
+of Leslie, ambassador from the German Emperor Leopold I. to
+the Ottoman Court in the seventeenth century, describes the
+archway as follows: “In decensu clivi defluentis in Euxini
+brachium, porta perampla et obstructa muro conspicitur. Fama
+fert limitum hunc fuisse aulæ magni Constantini. Ad dextrum
+portæ latus adstat Angelus a candido et eleganti marmore effigiatus,

+
+<p class='c008'>Only the bas-relief which stood on the eastern side of the
+archway has survived to our time.<a id='r675' /><a href='#f675' class='c009'><sup>[675]</sup></a> It represents a winged
+female figure, attired in a flowing robe, and holding in her left

+Patriarch Constantius supposed, the Archangel Michael.<a id='r676' /><a href='#f676' class='c009'><sup>[676]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_199'>199</span>Regarding the precise object of these four entrances, and the
+names to be attached to them, a serious difference of opinion prevails.
+Most authorities maintain that the archway adorned with
+the bas-relief was the Gate of the Kynegos, of the Hunter (τοῦ
+Κυνηγοῦ, τῶν Κυνηγῶν), so frequently mentioned in the later days
+of the Empire; and that Balat Kapoussi was the Pylè Basilikè
+(Πύλη Βασιλικὴ) referred to by writers of the same period. On
+the other hand, Gyllius identified Balat Kapoussi with the Gate
+of the Kynegos, and regarded the three archways above mentioned
+as entrances to a small artificial port within the line of the
+fortifications. His reason for the latter opinion was the existence
+of a great depression in the ground to the rear of the archways,
+which was occupied, in his day, by market-gardens, but which
+seemed to him the basin of an old harbour: “Ultra Portam
+Palatinam”—to give his own words—“progressus circiter centum
+viginti passus, animadverti tres magnus arcus, astructos urbis
+muro, et substructos, per quos olim Imperatores subducebant
+triremes in portum opere factum, nunc exiccatus et conversus in
+hortos concavos, præ se gerentes speciem portus obruti.”<a id='r677' /><a href='#f677' class='c009'><sup>[677]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>As appears from the passage just quoted, Gyllius styled Balat
+Kapoussi not only the Gate of the Hunter, but also the Porta
+Palatina. Whether in doing so he meant to identify the Gate of
+the Kynegos with the Basilikè Pylè, or simply gave the Latin
+rendering of the name by which Balat Kapoussi was popularly
+known when he visited the city, is not perfectly clear. The
+latter supposition is, however, more in harmony with that author’s
+usage in the case of other gates.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Stephen Gerlach and Leunclavius agree with Gyllius in regarding
+Balat Kapoussi as the Gate of the Kynegos, but place the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_200'>200</span>Basilikè Pylè near the eastern extremity of the Harbour Walls,
+Gerlach<a id='r678' /><a href='#f678' class='c009'><sup>[678]</sup></a> identifying it with Yali Kiosk Kapoussi, Leunclavius<a id='r679' /><a href='#f679' class='c009'><sup>[679]</sup></a>
+with Bagtchè Kapoussi. Neither Gerlach nor Leunclavius
+refers to the three arches on the west of Balat Kapoussi. The
+latter, however, speaks of the hollow ground to their rear,
+describing it in the following terms: “Locus depressus et concavus,
+ubi Patriarchion erat meæ peregrinationis tempore,”
+and supposed it to have been the arena of a theatre for the
+exhibition of wild animals. From that theatre, he thought, the
+Gate of the Kynegos obtained its name.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The question to which gates the names Gate of the Kynegos
+and Basilikè Pylè respectively belonged is the most difficult
+problem connected with the history of the harbour fortifications.
+To discuss it satisfactorily at this stage of our inquiries is, however,
+impossible; for the opinion that the Basilikè Pylè was not at
+Balat Kapoussi, but near the eastern extremity of the Harbour
+Walls, is a point which can be determined only after all the facts
+relative to the gates near that end of the fortifications are
+before us. The full discussion of the subject must therefore be
+deferred,<a id='r680' /><a href='#f680' class='c009'><sup>[680]</sup></a> and, meantime, little more can be done than to state
+the conclusions which appear to have most evidence in their
+favour.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>There can be no doubt, in the first place, that the Gate of the
+Kynegos was in this vicinity, and was either Balat Kapoussi or
+the archway adorned with the bas-relief. This is established
+by all the indications in regard to the situation of the entrance.
+The Gate of the Kynegos stood, according to Phrantzes,<a id='r681' /><a href='#f681' class='c009'><sup>[681]</sup></a> between
+the Xylo Porta and the Petrion; according to Pusculus,<a id='r682' /><a href='#f682' class='c009'><sup>[682]</sup></a>
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_201'>201</span>between the Xylo Porta and the Porta Phani (Fener Kapoussi),
+and not far from the former. It was in the neighbourhood of
+the emperor’s palace,<a id='r683' /><a href='#f683' class='c009'><sup>[683]</sup></a> and the point at which persons approaching
+that palace from the Golden Horn disembarked and took
+horses to reach the Imperial residence.<a id='r684' /><a href='#f684' class='c009'><sup>[684]</sup></a> Both Balat Kapoussi
+and the adjoining archways answer to this description, and they
+are the only entrances which can pretend to be city gates in
+the portion of the walls between the Xylo Porta and the Gate of
+the Phanar. Therefore, one or other of them was the Gate
+of the Kynegos.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>It is a corroboration of this conclusion to find that the
+district named after the Gate of the Kynegos occupied the level
+tract beside the Golden Horn within and without the line of the
+walls in the vicinity of these entrances. The Church of St.
+Demetrius, for instance, which stood a short distance to the west
+of Balat Kapoussi and the adjoining archways, is described as
+near a gate in the quarter of the Kynegon.<a id='r685' /><a href='#f685' class='c009'><sup>[685]</sup></a> The bridge which
+the Turks threw out into the harbour from Haskeui, to carry a
+battery with which to bombard this part of the fortifications, was
+in front of the Kynegon.<a id='r686' /><a href='#f686' class='c009'><sup>[686]</sup></a> Nicholas Barbaro<a id='r687' /><a href='#f687' class='c009'><sup>[687]</sup></a> applies the
+name even to the territory near the Xylo Porta; for, according
+to him, the land walls extended from the Golden Gate to
+the Kynegon: “Le mure de tera, che jera mia sie, che sun de
+la Cresca per fina al Chinigo.” With this agrees also the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_202'>202</span>statement of the same author that the Kynegon was the point
+where Diedo and Gabriel of Treviso landed the crews of their
+galleys, to excavate the moat which the emperor asked to be
+constructed before the land walls protecting his palace.<a id='r688' /><a href='#f688' class='c009'><sup>[688]</sup></a> The
+quarter of the Kynegon thus comprised the modern quarters
+of Balata and Aivan Serai.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the second place, it is exceedingly doubtful whether the
+archway with the Nikè, to which the name Gate of the Kynegos
+is commonly ascribed, was, after all, a city gate in the ordinary
+sense of the term. It does not stand alone, but is one
+of three archways which pierce, respectively, the curtain-walls
+between three towers. And these three openings were in
+close proximity to a gate (Balat Kapoussi), amply sufficient for
+the requirements of public traffic in this quarter of the capital.
+Such facts do not accord with the idea that any one of these
+archways was a gateway. Furthermore, when their real destination
+could be more accurately ascertained than at present,
+Gyllius found that they formed the entrances to an artificial harbour
+within the line of the fortifications. This explanation of
+their presence in the wall is perfectly satisfactory, and any other
+is superfluous. But if Balat Kapoussi was the only gate in this
+vicinity, it must have been the Gate of the Kynegos, which
+certainly stood in this part of the city.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>There is nothing strange in the existence of a harbour within
+the line of the fortifications in the quarter of the Kynegon. It is
+what might be expected when we remember how closely the
+quarter was connected with the Palace of the Porphyrogenitus
+and the Palace of Blachernæ, and how necessary such a harbour
+was for the accommodation and protection of the boats and galleys
+at the service of the Court. That the harbour behind the three
+archways near Balat Kapoussi was the Neorion of Blachernæ is
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_203'>203</span>unlikely; the most probable situation of that Neorion being at
+Aivan Serai Iskelessi. But it may very well have been the
+harbour on the shore of the Kynegon at which, during the period
+of the Palæologi, the emperor and visitors to the palaces in the
+vicinity embarked or disembarked in moving to and fro by water.
+The landing at which the Spanish ambassadors to the Byzantine
+Court were received is described as near the Gate of the Kynegos:
+“Près de la porte de Quinigo.”<a id='r689' /><a href='#f689' class='c009'><sup>[689]</sup></a> The galleys sent by the
+Council of Basle to convey John VII. Palæologus to the West,
+and which reached Constantinople fifteen days after the arrival
+of four Papal galleys on a similar errand, were detained for one
+day at Psamathia, until the rival parties had been prevailed upon
+to keep the peace, and then came and moored at the Kynegon
+(εἰς τὸν Κυνηγὸν). There the emperor embarked for Italy,
+under the escort of the Papal galleys; there the galley having on
+board the patriarch, who was to accompany the emperor, joined
+the Imperial squadron; and there the emperor disembarked
+upon his return from the Councils of Ferrara and Florence.<a id='r690' /><a href='#f690' class='c009'><sup>[690]</sup></a>
+During the siege of 1453 a fire-ship, with forty young men on
+board, proceeded from the Gate of the Kynegos to burn the
+Turkish vessels which had been conveyed over the hills into
+the Golden Horn.<a id='r691' /><a href='#f691' class='c009'><sup>[691]</sup></a> All this implies the existence of a port
+somewhere on the shore of the quarter of the Kynegon.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the third place, all discussion in regard to the proper application
+of the names Basilikè Pylè, and Gate of the Kynegos must
+proceed upon the indisputable fact that the epithet “Imperial,”
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_204'>204</span>belonged to an entrance at the eastern extremity of the
+Harbour Walls. In proof of this, it is enough to cite, meantime,
+the statement of Phrantzes<a id='r692' /><a href='#f692' class='c009'><sup>[692]</sup></a> that Gabriel of Treviso was entrusted
+with the defence of a tower which guarded the entrance of the
+Golden Horn, and which stood opposite the Basilikè Pylè.
+Unless, therefore, it can be shown that there was more than one
+Basilikè Pylè in the fortifications beside the Golden Horn, the
+claim of Balat Kapoussi to the Imperial epithet falls to the
+ground. If the existence of two Imperial gates in the Harbour
+Walls can be established, then Balat Kapoussi has the best right
+to be regarded as the second entrance bearing that designation.
+In that case, however, the conclusion most in harmony with the
+facts involved in the matter is that the second Basilikè Pylè was
+only the Gate of the Kynegos under another name.<a id='r693' /><a href='#f693' class='c009'><sup>[693]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Why, precisely, the entrance was styled the Gate of the
+Hunter is a matter of conjecture. Some explain the name as
+derived from a Kynegion, or theatre for the exhibition of wild
+animals,<a id='r694' /><a href='#f694' class='c009'><sup>[694]</sup></a> such as existed on the side of the city facing Scutari;
+and in favour of this opinion is the term “Kynegesion” (τοῦ
+Κυνηγεσίου), employed by Phrantzes<a id='r695' /><a href='#f695' class='c009'><sup>[695]</sup></a> to designate the quarter
+adjoining the entrance. But the ordinary style of the name
+lends more countenance to the view that the gate was in some
+way connected with the huntsmen attached to the Byzantine
+Court, hunting being always a favourite pastime of the emperors
+of Constantinople. Their head huntsman (ὁ πρωτοκυνηγὸς) was an
+official of some importance. Besides directing his subordinates,
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_205'>205</span>it was his prerogative to hold the stirrup when the emperor
+mounted horse, and the Imperial hunting-suit was his perquisite,
+if stained with blood in the course of the chase.<a id='r696' /><a href='#f696' class='c009'><sup>[696]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>A gate, known as the Gate of St. John the Forerunner
+and Baptist (Πόρτα τοῦ ἁγίου Προδρόμου καὶ Βαπτιστοῦ), was also
+situated in the quarter of the Kynegon, and near the Church
+of St. Demetrius.<a id='r697' /><a href='#f697' class='c009'><sup>[697]</sup></a> That name might readily be given to a
+gate in this vicinity, either in honour of the great Church and
+Monastery of St. John the Baptist in Petra, on the heights above
+Balat Kapoussi, or in honour of the church of the same dedication,
+which, there is reason to think, stood on the site of the
+Church of St. John the Baptist, found, at present, on the shore
+to the north-east of that entrance. Whether the Gate of St.
+John has disappeared, or was the Gate of the Kynegos under
+another name, is a point upon which there may be a difference
+of opinion. Dr. Mordtmann<a id='r698' /><a href='#f698' class='c009'><sup>[698]</sup></a> identifies it with the Gate of the
+Kynegos, which, according to him, was the archway adorned with
+the Nikè. It may be identified with the Gate of the Kynegos,
+even on the view that the latter was Balat Kapoussi. That a
+Church of St. John stood in the neighbourhood of the Gate of
+the Kynegos is also intimated by Pachymeres, who records a
+fire which, in 1308, burnt down the quarter extending from that
+gate to the Monastery of the Forerunner.<a id='r699' /><a href='#f699' class='c009'><sup>[699]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_206'>206</span>The gate next in order, as its Turkish name, Fener Kapoussi,
+proves, is the entrance which the foreign historians of the last
+siege style Porta Phani, Porta del Pharo.<a id='r700' /><a href='#f700' class='c009'><sup>[700]</sup></a> This designation was,
+doubtless, the rendering of the Byzantine name of the gate, for
+the adjoining quarter, as appears first in a document dated 1351,
+went by its present name, Phanari (τοποθεσία τοῦ φανάρι),<a id='r701' /><a href='#f701' class='c009'><sup>[701]</sup></a> also
+before the Turkish Conquest. A beacon light must have stood
+at this point of the harbour.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>From the Porta Phani eastwards to Petri Kapoussi, the
+next gate, the fortifications consisted of two lines of wall which
+enclosed a considerable territory, the inner wall describing a
+great curve on the steep northern front of the Fifth Hill. The
+enclosure was called the Castron of the Petrion<a id='r702' /><a href='#f702' class='c009'><sup>[702]</sup></a> (τὸ κάστρον τῶν
+Πετρίων), after Petrus, Master of the Offices in the reign of
+Justinian the Great;<a id='r703' /><a href='#f703' class='c009'><sup>[703]</sup></a> and the surrounding district was named
+the Petrion (Πετρίον, τὰ Πετρία,<a id='r704' /><a href='#f704' class='c009'><sup>[704]</sup></a> “Regio Petri Patricii”).<a id='r705' /><a href='#f705' class='c009'><sup>[705]</sup></a> It
+must be carefully distinguished from the district of Petra (Πέτρα),
+at Kesmè Kaya, above Balat Kapoussi.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the angle formed by the junction of the two walls, a little
+to the west of the Porta Phani, was a small gate, Diplophanarion,<a id='r706' /><a href='#f706' class='c009'><sup>[706]</sup></a>
+which led from the Castron into the city.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Petri Kapoussi, at the eastern extremity of the Castron, and
+in the outer wall, communicated with the street skirting the
+Golden Horn, and retains the ancient name of the district.<a id='r707' /><a href='#f707' class='c009'><sup>[707]</sup></a>
+Dr. Mordtmann<a id='r708' /><a href='#f708' class='c009'><sup>[708]</sup></a> identifies it with the Porta Sidhera (Σιδηρᾶ
+Πίλη), near the Convent of the Petrion.<a id='r709' /><a href='#f709' class='c009'><sup>[709]</sup></a> That the Petrion was
+not confined to the Castron, but included territory on either
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_207'>207</span>side of the enclosure, is manifest from the fact that whereas the
+wall between the Porta Phani and the Porta Petri is without a
+single tower, mention is yet made of towers in the Petrion.<a id='r710' /><a href='#f710' class='c009'><sup>[710]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Of the churches in this quarter, St. Stephen of the Romans,
+St. Julianè, St. Elias, and St. Euphemia, the two last were the
+most important. The Church of St. Euphemia claimed to be an
+older foundation than Constantinople itself, being attributed to
+Castinus, Bishop of Byzantium, 230-237. It was restored by
+Basil I., and his daughters entered the convent attached to the
+church.<a id='r711' /><a href='#f711' class='c009'><sup>[711]</sup></a> The Convent of Petrion, as it was called, must have
+been of considerable importance, for it was on several occasions
+selected as the place in which ladies of high rank, who had
+become politically inconvenient, were interned; as, for instance,
+Zoe, the dowager-empress of Leo the Wise, for conspiracy
+against Romanus Lecapenus;<a id='r712' /><a href='#f712' class='c009'><sup>[712]</sup></a> Theodora, by her sister the
+Empress Zoe;<a id='r713' /><a href='#f713' class='c009'><sup>[713]</sup></a> and Delassaina, the mother of the Comneni,
+with her daughters and daughters-in-law, by Nicephorus
+Botoniates.<a id='r714' /><a href='#f714' class='c009'><sup>[714]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the assaults made by foreign fleets upon the Harbour
+Walls, the Petrion, or Phanar, occupied a conspicuous place.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>It was before the Petrion<a id='r715' /><a href='#f715' class='c009'><sup>[715]</sup></a> that the Venetian galleys under
+Dandolo stood, July 17, 1203, and established the free end of
+their flying bridges upon the summit of the walls, whereby
+twenty-five towers were captured, and the city was recovered for
+Isaac Angelus. The Petrion was again prominent in the assault
+which the Crusaders delivered on April 12, 1204, when Constantinople
+passed into their hands and became the seat of a
+Latin Empire. Here the flying bridge of the ship <i>Pelerine</i>
+lodged itself on a tower, and allowed a bold Venetian and a
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_208'>208</span>French knight, André d’Urboise, to rush across, seize the tower,
+and clear a way for their comrades to follow. Here ladders were
+then landed, the walls scaled, three gates forced, and the city
+thrown open to the whole host of the invaders.<a id='r716' /><a href='#f716' class='c009'><sup>[716]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the siege of 1453, early on the morning of the 29th of
+May, the Phanar was fiercely attacked by the Turkish ships in
+the Golden Horn.<a id='r717' /><a href='#f717' class='c009'><sup>[717]</sup></a> The attack was repulsed, and the Greeks
+remained masters of the situation, until the occupation of
+the city by the enemy’s land forces made further resistance
+impossible. The memory of the struggle is said to be preserved
+in the quarter by the name of the street Sandjakdar Youcousou
+(the Ascent of the Standard-bearer) and by the Turkish name
+for the Church of St. Mary Mougouliotissa, Kan Klissè (the
+Church of Blood).<a id='r718' /><a href='#f718' class='c009'><sup>[718]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The succeeding gate, Yeni Aya Kapou, was opened, it would
+seem, in Turkish times, being first mentioned by Evlia Tchelebi.
+There is, however, one circumstance in favour of regarding it as
+a small Byzantine entrance, enlarged after the Conquest. On the
+right of the gate, within the line of the walls, are the remains of
+a large Byzantine edifice, which could hardly have dispensed
+with a postern.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Aya Kapou, the next entrance, as its Turkish name intimates,
+and the order of Pusculus requires, is the Porta Divæ Theodosiæ
+(Πύλη τῆς Ἁγίας Θεοδοσίας),<a id='r719' /><a href='#f719' class='c009'><sup>[719]</sup></a> so named in honour of the adjoining
+Church of St. Theodosia (now Gul Djamissi), the first martyr
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_209'>209</span>in the cause of Icons, under Leo the Isaurian. The gate was
+also known by the name Porta Dexiocrates, after the district of
+Dexiocrates in which it stood.<a id='r720' /><a href='#f720' class='c009'><sup>[720]</sup></a> This identification rests upon
+the fact that while Pachymeres<a id='r721' /><a href='#f721' class='c009'><sup>[721]</sup></a> affirms that the body of St.
+Theodosia lay in the church dedicated to her memory, the
+<i>Synaxaristes</i> declares that she was buried in the Monastery of
+Dexiocrates.<a id='r722' /><a href='#f722' class='c009'><sup>[722]</sup></a> Only by the supposition that the Church of St.
+Theodosia stood in the district of Dexiocrates can these statements
+be reconciled. The church is first mentioned by Antony
+of Novgorod.<a id='r723' /><a href='#f723' class='c009'><sup>[723]</sup></a> The festival of the saint, falling on May 29th,
+coincided with the day on which, in 1453. the city was captured
+by the Turks. As usual, a large crowd of worshippers, many
+of them ladies, filled the sacred edifice, little thinking of the
+tragedy which would interrupt their devotions, when suddenly
+Turkish troops burst into the church and carried the congregation
+off into slavery.<a id='r724' /><a href='#f724' class='c009'><sup>[724]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The next gate, Djubali Kapoussi, must be the entrance
+styled Porta Puteæ by Pusculus,<a id='r725' /><a href='#f725' class='c009'><sup>[725]</sup></a> and Porta del Pozzo by Zorzo
+Dolfin;<a id='r726' /><a href='#f726' class='c009'><sup>[726]</sup></a> for it is the only entrance between the Gate of St.
+Theodosia (Aya Kapou) and the Porta Platea (Oun Kapan
+Kapoussi), the gates between which the writers above mentioned
+place the Porta Puteæ. Although no Byzantine author has
+mentioned the Porta Puteæ by its Greek name, there can be no
+doubt that the name in vogue among foreigners was the translation,
+more or less exact, of the native style of the entrance,
+and that consequently the gate marks the point designated
+Ispigas (εἰς Πηγὰς) by the Chronista Novgorodensis, in his account
+of the operations of the Venetian fleet against the harbour fortifications
+on the 12th of April, 1204. The ships of the Crusaders,
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_210'>210</span>says that authority, were then drawn up before the walls, in a
+line extending from the Monastery of Christ the Benefactor and
+Ispigas, on the east, to Blachernæ, on the west: “Cum solis ortu

+
+<p class='c008'>The name of the gate alluded to the suburb of Pegæ (Πηγαὶ),
+situated directly opposite, on the northern shore of the harbour,
+and noted for its numerous springs of water. Dionysius Byzantius,
+in his <i>Anaplus of the Golden Horn and the Bosporus</i>,<a id='r728' /><a href='#f728' class='c009'><sup>[728]</sup></a>
+describes the locality at length, naming it Krenides (Κρηνίδες).
+on account of its flowing springs (πηγαίων), which gave the
+district the character of marshy ground. The suburb appears
+under the name Pegæ in the history of the siege of the city by
+the Avars, when the Imperial fleet formed a cordon across the
+harbour, from the Church of St. Nicholas at Blachernæ to
+the Church of St. Conon and the suburb of Pegæ, to prevent
+the enemy’s flotilla of boats in the streams at the head of the
+Golden Horn from descending into the harbour.<a id='r729' /><a href='#f729' class='c009'><sup>[729]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>According to Antony of Novgorod, the suburb was situated
+to the west of St. Irene of Galata; it contained several churches,
+and was largely inhabited by Jews.<a id='r730' /><a href='#f730' class='c009'><sup>[730]</sup></a> It appears again in the
+old Records of the Genoese colony of Galata in the fourteenth
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_211'>211</span>century, under the name Spiga, or De Spiga, to the west of
+that town.<a id='r731' /><a href='#f731' class='c009'><sup>[731]</sup></a> Critobulus calls it the Cold Waters (Ψυχρὰ Ὕδατα),
+placing it on the bay into which Sultan Mehemet brought
+his ships over the hills from the Bosporus.<a id='r732' /><a href='#f732' class='c009'><sup>[732]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>As appears from the passage of the Chronista Novgorodensis,
+cited above, near the Porta Puteæ stood the Monastery of Christ
+the Benefactor, interesting as a conspicuous landmark in the
+scenes associated with the Latin Conquest of the city.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The fire which the Venetians set near the portion of the
+Harbour Walls captured in 1203, reduced to ashes the quarters
+extending from Blachernæ as far east as that monastery.<a id='r733' /><a href='#f733' class='c009'><sup>[733]</sup></a>
+The monastery marked also the eastern extremity of the

+<p class='c007'>The next gate on the list of Pusculus and Dolfin is the Porta
+Platea, or Porta ala Piazza,<a id='r739' /><a href='#f739' class='c009'><sup>[739]</sup></a> evidently the Porta of the Platea
+(Πόρτα τῆς Πλατέας) mentioned by Ducas.<a id='r740' /><a href='#f740' class='c009'><sup>[740]</sup></a> The entrance, judging
+by its name, was situated beside a wide tract of level ground,
+and is, consequently, represented by Oun Kapan Kapoussi, which
+stands on the plain near the Inner Bridge, at the head of the
+important street running across the city from sea to sea, through
+the valley between the Fourth and Fifth Hills. The district
+beside the gate was known as the Plateia (Πλατεῖα),<a id='r741' /><a href='#f741' class='c009'><sup>[741]</sup></a> and contained
+the churches dedicated respectively to St. Laurentius and the
+Prophet Isaiah.<a id='r742' /><a href='#f742' class='c009'><sup>[742]</sup></a> The blockade of the Harbour Walls in 1453 by
+the Turkish ships in the Golden Horn extended from the Xylo
+Porta to the Gate of the Platea.<a id='r743' /><a href='#f743' class='c009'><sup>[743]</sup></a> If the legend on Bondelmontius’
+map may be trusted, this gate bore also the name
+Mesè, the Central Gate, a suitable designation for an entrance
+at the middle point in the line of the harbour fortifications.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The succeeding gate, Ayasma Kapoussi, was opened, it would
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_213'>213</span>seem, after the Turkish Conquest. It is not mentioned by
+Gyllius, or Leunclavius, or Gerlach. The conjecture that it
+represents a gate in the Wall of Constantine, styled Porta
+Basilikè, situated near the Church of St. Acacius ad Caream (τὸν
+ἅγιον Ἀκάκιον, τὴν Καρυὰν, ἐν τῇ Βασιλικῇ Πόρτα)<a id='r744' /><a href='#f744' class='c009'><sup>[744]</sup></a> does not appear
+very probable. The Church of St. Acacius, situated in the
+Tenth Region,<a id='r745' /><a href='#f745' class='c009'><sup>[745]</sup></a> was the sanctuary to which Macedonius, the bishop
+of the city, removed the sarcophagus of Constantine the Great,
+from the Church of the Holy Apostles on the summit of the
+Fourth Hill, when the latter edifice threatened to fall and crush
+the Imperial tomb.<a id='r746' /><a href='#f746' class='c009'><sup>[746]</sup></a> The bishop’s action encountered the
+violent opposition of a large class of the citizens, and led to a
+riot in which much blood was shed. Under these circumstances,
+it is difficult to believe that the sarcophagus of Constantine was
+transported from its original resting-place to a point so distant
+as the neighbourhood of Ayasma Kapoussi, especially when the
+removal was a temporary arrangement, made until the repairs on
+the Church of the Holy Apostles should be completed. It is
+more probable that St. Acacius was near the Church of the Holy
+Apostles. Furthermore, we cannot be sure that the Porta Basilikè
+was a gate in the Wall of Constantine. The Church of St. Acacius
+stood near a palace erected by that emperor (πλησίον τῶν
+οἰκημάτων τοῦ μεγάλου Κωνσταντίνου):<a id='r747' /><a href='#f747' class='c009'><sup>[747]</sup></a> or, as described elsewhere,
+was a small chapel (οἰκίσκον εὐκτήριον) near a palace named
+Karya, because close to a walnut-tree on which the saint
+was supposed to have suffered martyrdom by hanging.<a id='r748' /><a href='#f748' class='c009'><sup>[748]</sup></a> The
+Porta Basilikè may have been a gate leading into the court of
+that palace.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The three succeeding gates, Odoun Kapan Kapoussi, Zindan
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_214'>214</span>Kapoussi, Balouk Bazaar Kapoussi, bore respectively the names
+Gate of the Drungarii (τῶν Δρουγγαρίων); Gate of the Forerunner
+(Porta juxta parvum templum Precursoris, known also as St.
+Johannes de Cornibus); Gate of the Perama or Ferry (τοῦ
+Περάματος). They can be identified, perhaps, most readily and
+clearly by the following line of argument:—</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The three Byzantine gates just named were situated in the
+quarter assigned to the Venetians in Constantinople by successive
+Imperial grants from the time of Alexius Comnenus to the
+close of the Empire. The Gate of the Drungarii marked the
+western extremity of the quarter;<a id='r749' /><a href='#f749' class='c009'><sup>[749]</sup></a> the Gate of the Perama,
+its eastern extremity;<a id='r750' /><a href='#f750' class='c009'><sup>[750]</sup></a> while the gate beside the Church of
+the Forerunner was between the two points. Where the Gate
+of the Perama stood admits of no doubt. All students of the
+topography of the city are agreed in the opinion that the
+entrance so named was at Balouk Bazaar Kapoussi. Consequently,
+the two other gates in the Venetian quarter lay to
+the west of Balouk Bazaar Kapoussi, in the portion of the
+fortifications between that entrance and the Gate of the
+Platea, all gates further west being out of the question. But
+as the only two gates in that portion of the walls are Zindan
+Kapoussi and Oun Kapan Kapoussi, they must represent,
+respectively, the Gate of the Forerunner and the Gate of the
+Drungarii.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Gate of the Drungarii (τῶν Δρουγγαρίων) derived its
+name from the term “Drungarius,” a title given to various officials
+in the Byzantine service;<a id='r751' /><a href='#f751' class='c009'><sup>[751]</sup></a> as, for example, to the admiral of the
+fleet (μέγας δρουγγάριος τοῦ θεοσώστου στόλου), and to the head of
+the city police, the Drungarius Vigiliæ. (ὁ τῆς Βίγλας δρουγγάριος).
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_215'>215</span>In this particular case the reference was to the latter officer, for
+in the neighbourhood of the gate stood an important Vigla, or
+police-station, which is sometimes mentioned instead of the
+Gate of the Drungarii, as the western limit of the Venetian
+quarter.<a id='r752' /><a href='#f752' class='c009'><sup>[752]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The street running eastwards, outside the city wall, was
+known as the Via Drungariou (De Longario),<a id='r753' /><a href='#f753' class='c009'><sup>[753]</sup></a> and the pier in
+front of the next gate bore the name Scala de Drongario.<a id='r754' /><a href='#f754' class='c009'><sup>[754]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The practice of storing timber on the shore without the gate
+has come down from an early period in the history of the city.
+One of the questions put to Justinian the Great by the Greens,
+during the altercation between him and the Factions in the
+Hippodrome, on the eve of the Nika riot was, “Who murdered
+the timber-merchant at the Zeugma?”<a id='r755' /><a href='#f755' class='c009'><sup>[755]</sup></a>—another name for this
+part of the shore. An inscription on the gate reminded the
+passing crowd that to remember death is profitable to life (Μνῆμη
+θανάτου χρησιμεύει τῷ βίῳ).<a id='r756' /><a href='#f756' class='c009'><sup>[756]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>It is in favour of the identification of Zindan Kapoussi
+with the Gate near the Church of St. John (Porta juxta parvum
+templum Precursoris) to find only a few yards within the
+entrance a Holy Well, venerated alike by Christian and Moslem,
+beside which stood, until recently, the ruins of a Byzantine chapel
+answering to the small Church of the Forerunner mentioned in
+the Venetian charters.<a id='r757' /><a href='#f757' class='c009'><sup>[757]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Leunclavius found the gate called in his day Porta Caravion,
+because of the large number of ships which were moored
+in front of it.<a id='r758' /><a href='#f758' class='c009'><sup>[758]</sup></a> The landing before the gate, the old Scala de
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_216'>216</span>Drongario, now Yemish Iskelessi, in front of the Dried Fruit-Market,
+is one of the most important piers on the Golden Horn.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Dr. Paspates<a id='r759' /><a href='#f759' class='c009'><sup>[759]</sup></a> and M. Heyd<a id='r760' /><a href='#f760' class='c009'><sup>[760]</sup></a> identify this entrance with the
+Gate of the Drungarii. But this opinion is inconsistent with
+the fact that whereas the gate near St. John’s stood between the
+Gate of the Drungarii and the Gate of the Perama, no entrance
+which can be identified with the gate near St. John’s intervenes
+between Zindan Kapoussi and Balouk Bazaar Kapoussi (Gate
+of the Perama).</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>M. Heyd, moreover, identifies Zindan Kapoussi with the
+Porta Hebraica,<a id='r761' /><a href='#f761' class='c009'><sup>[761]</sup></a> mentioned in the charters granted to the Venetians
+in the thirteenth century. But, as will appear in the
+sequel, the Porta Hebraica of that period was either the Gate
+of the Perama itself, or an entrance a little to the east of it.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Gate of the Perama (τοῦ Περάματος), as its name implies,
+stood where Balouk Bazaar Kapoussi is found to-day,
+close to the principal ferry between the city and the suburb of
+Galata; communication between the opposite shores being
+maintained in ancient times by boats, for the only bridge
+across the harbour was that near the head of the Golden Horn.
+The Perama is first mentioned by Theophanes,<a id='r762' /><a href='#f762' class='c009'><sup>[762]</sup></a> in recording the
+dedication of the Church of St. Irene at Sycæ (Galata), after the
+reconstruction of that sanctuary by Justinian the Great. Special
+importance attached to the event, as the emperor attributed his
+recovery from an attack of the terrible plague that raged in
+Constantinople, in 542, to the touch of the relics of the Forty
+Martyrs which had been discovered in pulling down the old
+church, and which were to be enshrined in the new building.
+Menas, Patriarch of Constantinople, and Apollinarius, Patriarch
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_217'>217</span>of Alexandria—who was then in the capital—were appointed
+to celebrate the service of the day; and the two prelates, seated
+in the Imperial chariot, and bearing upon their knees the sacred
+relics, drove through the city from St. Sophia to the Perama,
+to take boat for Sycæ, where Justinian awaited them. The
+ferry was also styled Trajectus Sycenus;<a id='r763' /><a href='#f763' class='c009'><sup>[763]</sup></a> Transitus Sycarum,
+after the oldest name for Galata. It was, moreover, known as
+Transitus Justinianarum,<a id='r764' /><a href='#f764' class='c009'><sup>[764]</sup></a> from the name Justinianopolis, given
+to the suburb in honour of Justinian, who rebuilt its walls and
+theatre, and conferred upon it the privileges of a city.<a id='r765' /><a href='#f765' class='c009'><sup>[765]</sup></a> The pier
+at the city end of the ferry was known as the Scala Sycena.<a id='r766' /><a href='#f766' class='c009'><sup>[766]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>It would seem that there was a spice-market<a id='r767' /><a href='#f767' class='c009'><sup>[767]</sup></a> in the vicinity
+of the Gate of the Perama, like the one which exists to-day to
+the rear of Balouk Bazaar Kapoussi, the latter being only the
+continuation of the former. According to Bondelmontius, the
+fish-market of Byzantine Constantinople was held before this
+gate, as the practice is at present; for upon his map he names
+the entrance Porta Piscaria. So fixed are the habits of a city.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Besides bearing the name Gate of the Perama, the entrance
+was also styled the Porta Hebraica. This appears from the
+employment of the two names as equivalent terms in descriptions
+of the territory occupied by the Venetians in Constantinople.
+For example, according to Anna Comnena,<a id='r768' /><a href='#f768' class='c009'><sup>[768]</sup></a> the quarter
+which her father, the Emperor Alexis Comnenus, conceded to the
+Venetians, extended from the old Hebrew pier to the Vigla. In
+the charter by which the Doge Faletri granted that district to the
+Church of San Georgio Majore of Venice, the quarter is described
+in one passage, as extending from the Vigla to the Porta Perame,
+as far as the Judeca (“ad Portam Perame, usque ad Judecam”);<a id='r769' /><a href='#f769' class='c009'><sup>[769]</sup></a>
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_218'>218</span>and in a subsequent passage, as proceeding from the Vigla to the
+Judeca (“a comprehenso dicto sacro Viglæ usque ad Judecam”).<a id='r770' /><a href='#f770' class='c009'><sup>[770]</sup></a>
+In the grants made to the Venetians after the Restoration of the
+Greek Empire in 1261, the extreme points of the Venetian
+quarter are named, respectively, the Gate of the Drungarii and
+the Gate of the Perama.<a id='r771' /><a href='#f771' class='c009'><sup>[771]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>To this identification of the Porta Hebraica with the Gate
+of the Perama it may be objected that on the map of Bondelmontius
+these names are applied to different gates, and this, it
+may further be urged, accords with the fact that after the Turkish
+Conquest, also, a distinction was maintained between the Gate of
+the Perama and the gate styled Tchifout Kapoussi, the Hebrew
+Gate. But in reply to this objection it must be noted that the
+Tchifout Kapoussi of Turkish days was the gate now known as
+Bagtchè Kapoussi,<a id='r772' /><a href='#f772' class='c009'><sup>[772]</sup></a> beside the Stamboul Custom House, while
+the “Porta Judece” on the map of Bondelmontius stands close
+to the Seraglio Point. Nothing, however, is more certain than
+that the Venetian quarter<a id='r773' /><a href='#f773' class='c009'><sup>[773]</sup></a> did not extend so far east as Bagtchè
+Kapoussi, much less so far in that direction as the neighbourhood
+of the head of the promontory. Bagtchè Kapoussi corresponds
+to the Byzantine Porta Neoriou (the Gate of the Dockyard),
+which had no connection whatever with the quarter
+assigned to the Venetian merchants in the city, but was
+separated from that quarter, on the west, by the quarters which
+the traders from Amalfi and Pisa occupied, while to the east
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_219'>219</span>of the gate was the settlement of the Genoese. Consequently,
+the fact that in the age of Bondelmontius and after the Turkish
+Conquest the Porta Hebraica was a different entrance from the
+Gate of the Perama affords no ground for rejecting the evidence
+that in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries the two names
+designated the same gate. It only proves that the epithet
+“Hebrew” had meantime been transferred from one gate to
+another.<a id='r774' /><a href='#f774' class='c009'><sup>[774]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>At the distance of seventy-seven feet to the east of the Porta
+Hebraica, or Gate of the Perama, there stood, according to a
+Venetian document of 1229, an entrance known as the Gate of
+St. Mark (Porta San Marci).<a id='r775' /><a href='#f775' class='c009'><sup>[775]</sup></a> It probably obtained its name
+during the Latin occupation, after the patron saint of Venice,
+but whether it was a gate then opened for the first time, or an
+old gate under a new name, cannot be determined.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Yet further east, at a point 115 pikes before reaching Bagtchè
+Kapoussi, stood an entrance styled the Gate of the Hicanatissa
+(Πόρτα τῆς Ἱκανατίσσης).<a id='r776' /><a href='#f776' class='c009'><sup>[776]</sup></a> The adjoining quarter went by the
+same name, and there probably stood the “Residence of the
+Kanatissa” (τὸν οἶκον τῆς Κανατίσης) mentioned by Codinus.<a id='r777' /><a href='#f777' class='c009'><sup>[777]</sup></a>
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_220'>220</span>The designation is best explained as derived from the body of
+palace troops known as the Hicanati.<a id='r778' /><a href='#f778' class='c009'><sup>[778]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Between the Gate of the Perama and that of the Hicanatissa
+was situated the quarter of the merchants from Amalfi; at the
+latter gate the quarter of the Pisans commenced.<a id='r779' /><a href='#f779' class='c009'><sup>[779]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Gate of the Neorion (Πόρτα τοῦ Νεωρίου),<a id='r780' /><a href='#f780' class='c009'><sup>[780]</sup></a> the Gate of
+the Dockyard, stood, as its name implies, beside the Dockyard
+on the shore of the bay at Bagtchè Kapoussi, close to
+the site now occupied by the Stamboul Custom House. It is
+first mentioned in a chrysoboullon of Isaac Angelus, confirming
+the right granted to the Pisan merchants by his predecessors,
+Alexius Comnenus and Manuel Comnenus, to reside
+in the neighbourhood of the gate.<a id='r781' /><a href='#f781' class='c009'><sup>[781]</sup></a> While the western limit
+of the quarter thus conceded to Pisans was marked, as
+already intimated, by the Gate Hicanatissa,<a id='r782' /><a href='#f782' class='c009'><sup>[782]</sup></a> the eastern limit
+of the settlement extended to a short distance beyond the
+Gate of the Neorion.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Neorion dated from the time of Byzantium, when it
+stood at the western extremity of the Harbour Walls of the city.<a id='r783' /><a href='#f783' class='c009'><sup>[783]</sup></a>
+It was, therefore, distinguished from all other dockyards in
+Constantinople as the Ancient Neorion (τὸ Παλαιὸν Νεώριον),
+or the Ancient Exartesis (Ἐξάρτησις). Nicolo Barbaro calls it
+“l’arsenada de l’imperador.”</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Here the Imperial fleet assembled to refit or to guard the
+entrance of the harbour;<a id='r784' /><a href='#f784' class='c009'><sup>[784]</sup></a> here, until the reign of Justin II.,
+was the Marine Exchange;<a id='r785' /><a href='#f785' class='c009'><sup>[785]</sup></a> and here was a factory of oars
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_221'>221</span>(coparia),<a id='r786' /><a href='#f786' class='c009'><sup>[786]</sup></a> in addition to the one mentioned in the Justinian
+Code, which stood elsewhere. As might be expected, several
+destructive fires originated in the Neorion.<a id='r787' /><a href='#f787' class='c009'><sup>[787]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>According to Gyllius,<a id='r788' /><a href='#f788' class='c009'><sup>[788]</sup></a> Gerlach,<a id='r789' /><a href='#f789' class='c009'><sup>[789]</sup></a> and Leunclavius,<a id='r790' /><a href='#f790' class='c009'><sup>[790]</sup></a> this
+entrance was in their day named by the Turks, Tchifout
+Kapoussi, and was regarded by the Greeks as the Πύλη Ὡραία
+(the Beautiful Gate), mentioned by Phrantzes<a id='r791' /><a href='#f791' class='c009'><sup>[791]</sup></a> and Ducas<a id='r792' /><a href='#f792' class='c009'><sup>[792]</sup></a> in the
+history of the last siege. The epithet Horaia is supposed to be
+a corruption of the original name for the entrance (τοῦ Νεωρίου);
+the Turkish designation of the gate being explained by the fact
+that a Jewish community was settled in the neighbourhood of
+the gate.<a id='r793' /><a href='#f793' class='c009'><sup>[793]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>As to the transformation of Neorion into Horaia, it seems
+somewhat far-fetched; still, Greeks think it conceivable.<a id='r794' /><a href='#f794' class='c009'><sup>[794]</sup></a> If both
+names, indeed, belonged to the gate, a simpler and more probable
+explanation of the fact would be that the two names had no connection
+with each other, and that the epithet “Beautiful” was
+bestowed upon the entrance, towards the close of the Empire, in
+view of embellishments made in the course of repairs.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The identification of the Gate of the Neorion with the Horaia
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_222'>222</span>Pylè involves, however, a difficulty. It makes Ducas contradict
+other historians, as regards the point to which the southern end

+<p class='c008'>According to Ducas,<a id='r795' /><a href='#f795' class='c009'><sup>[795]</sup></a> that extremity of the chain was fastened
+to the Beautiful Gate. Critobulus,<a id='r796' /><a href='#f796' class='c009'><sup>[796]</sup></a> on the other hand, affirms
+that it was attached to the Gate of Eugenius (Yali Kiosk
+Kapoussi), the gate nearest the head of the promontory, and his
+statement is supported by Phrantzes<a id='r797' /><a href='#f797' class='c009'><sup>[797]</sup></a> and Chalcocondylas,<a id='r798' /><a href='#f798' class='c009'><sup>[798]</sup></a> when
+they, respectively, say that the chain was at the harbour’s mouth,
+and fixed to the wall of the Acropolis. Now, the correctness of
+the position assigned to the chain by the three latter historians
+cannot be called in question. It was the position prescribed for
+the chain by all the rules of strategy. To have placed the chain
+at the Gate of the Neorion would have left a large portion of
+the northern side of the city exposed to the enemy, and permitted
+the Turkish fleet to command the Neorion and the ships
+stationed before it. Hence the accuracy of Ducas can be maintained
+only by the identification of the Beautiful Gate with the
+Gate of Eugenius instead of with the Gate of the Neorion.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>We are, therefore, confronted with the question whether the
+historian is mistaken as regards the gate to which the city end
+of the chain was attached, or whether the view prevalent in Constantinople
+in the sixteenth century respecting the position of
+the Horaia Pylè should be rejected as unfounded.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In favour of the accuracy of Ducas, it must be admitted
+that his statements concerning the Horaia Pylè, in other passages
+of his work, convey the impression that under that name he refers
+to the entrance nearest the head of the promontory, the Gate
+of Eugenius (Yali Kiosk Kapoussi). Speaking of the arrangements
+made for the defence of the sea-board of the city, he
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_223'>223</span>describes them as extending, in the first place, from the Xylinè
+Porta, at the western extremity of the Harbour Walls, to the
+Horaia Pylè; and then from the Horaia Pylè to the Golden
+Gate, near the western extremity of the walls along the Sea of
+Marmora.<a id='r799' /><a href='#f799' class='c009'><sup>[799]</sup></a> Again, when he describes the blockade of the shore
+of the city outside the chain by the Sultan’s fleet, he represents
+the blockade as commencing at the Horaia Pylè and proceeding
+thence past the point of the Acropolis, the Church of St. Demetrius,
+the Gate of the Hodegetria, the Great Palace, and the
+harbour (Kontoscalion), as far as Vlanga.<a id='r800' /><a href='#f800' class='c009'><sup>[800]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Now, the gate which would naturally form the pivot, so to
+speak, of these operations was the Gate of Eugenius. There the
+two shores of the city divide; and that was the farthest point
+to which the Turkish fleet outside the chain could advance into
+the Golden Horn. It would be strange if Ducas ascribed the
+strategical importance of the Gate of Eugenius to another gate.
+And yet, it must be also admitted that Ducas can be inaccurate.
+He is inaccurate, for example, in the matter of the gate before
+which the Sultan’s tent was pitched during the siege,<a id='r801' /><a href='#f801' class='c009'><sup>[801]</sup></a> and at
+which the Emperor Constantine fell,<a id='r802' /><a href='#f802' class='c009'><sup>[802]</sup></a> for he associates these
+incidents with the Gate of Charisius, instead of with the Gate
+of St. Romanus; he is inaccurate, as we have seen, in his
+account of the entry of the Turks through the Kerko Porta;<a id='r803' /><a href='#f803' class='c009'><sup>[803]</sup></a>
+and he is inaccurate, again, in saying that the ships which the
+Sultan carried across the hills from the Bosporus to the Golden
+Horn were launched into the harbour at a point opposite the
+Cosmidion (Eyoub),<a id='r804' /><a href='#f804' class='c009'><sup>[804]</sup></a> instead of at Cassim Pasha. Under these
+circumstances it is impossible to maintain his accuracy as to the
+connection of the chain with Horaia Pylè at all hazards, and in
+the face of all difficulties. His credit will depend upon the value
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_224'>224</span>attached to the evidence we have, that the Horaia Pylè was
+another name for the Gate of the Neorion during the last days
+of Byzantine Constantinople.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The application of both names to the same gate rests upon
+the authority of tradition, upon the use and wont followed in
+the matter by the Greek population of the city in the sixteenth
+century. If this is really the case, no evidence can be more
+decisive on the question at issue. Use and wont in respect to
+the name of a conspicuous public gate, in a much-frequented
+part of the city, constitutes an irrefutable argument, provided
+that use and wont goes far enough back in the history of the
+entrance. In that case, Ducas would be convicted of having
+mistaken the gate to which the chain was attached, and all
+the importance which he ascribes to the Horaia Pylè, in his
+account of the actions of friends and foes along the shores of
+the city, is only the consistent following up of that error. For
+any gate to which the chain was supposed, however erroneously,
+to have been affixed would be represented in the narrative of
+subsequent events as the point about which the assault and the
+defence of the sea-board turned, although the gate was not
+situated where it could, naturally, have sustained that character.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Now, according to Gyllius,<a id='r805' /><a href='#f805' class='c009'><sup>[805]</sup></a> the gate anciently styled the Gate
+of the Neorion was called in his day Tchifout Kapoussi (“Hebrew
+Gate”) by the Turks, and Horaia Pylè by the Greeks, as a
+matter of common practice. The brief statement of Gerlach<a id='r806' /><a href='#f806' class='c009'><sup>[806]</sup></a>
+that the second gate west of the Seraglio Point was named
+at once the Beautiful Gate and the Jewish Gate implies that
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_225'>225</span>these were the names of the gate in current use. Leunclavius<a id='r807' /><a href='#f807' class='c009'><sup>[807]</sup></a>
+puts the facts in a somewhat different light. According to
+him, the common designation of the entrance was “Huræa”
+(<i>Ebraia</i>, “Hebrew Gate”), and it was only when the Greeks of
+the city wished to show themselves better acquainted with the
+truth on the subject that they claimed for the gate the epithet
+“Horaia.”</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>This may, perhaps, excite the suspicion that the application
+of the epithet “Horaia” to the Gate of the Neorion, in the
+sixteenth century, was due to the fact that it was then known
+also as the Hebrew Gate (Ebraia). But, on the whole, the more
+probable view is that the epithet was correctly applied, and,
+consequently, that Ducas, who was not present at the siege, is
+mistaken in associating the chain with the Beautiful Gate.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the charters defining the privileges granted to the Genoese
+colony in Constantinople during the twelfth century, mention
+is made of a “Porta Bonu” and a “Porta Veteris Rectoris.”<a id='r808' /><a href='#f808' class='c009'><sup>[808]</sup></a>
+As both were associated with the Scala, or Pier, at the service
+of that colony, they were doubtless the same gate under different
+names; the former appellation designating it by the proper name
+of the officer connected in some way with the entrance, the latter
+by his official title. Nothing is known concerning the Rector
+Bonus; the name and title are at once Byzantine and Italian.
+Now, the Genoese quarter in the twelfth century lay to the east
+of the Gate of the Neorion, and consequently the Porta Bonu,
+or Porta Veteris Rectoris, must be sought in that direction. It
+stood, probably, where Sirkedji Iskelessi is now situated.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Near this gate must have been the Scala Chalcedonensis and
+the Portus Prosphorianus, which the <i>Notitia</i> places in the Fifth
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_226'>226</span>Region.<a id='r809' /><a href='#f809' class='c009'><sup>[809]</sup></a> The former, as its name implies, was the pier
+frequented by boats plying between the city and Chalcedon;
+it is mentioned twice, as the point at which relics were landed
+in solemn state to be carried thence to St. Sophia.<a id='r810' /><a href='#f810' class='c009'><sup>[810]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Portus Prosphorianus<a id='r811' /><a href='#f811' class='c009'><sup>[811]</sup></a> was in the bay which once indented
+the shore immediately to the east of the Gate of Bonus, where
+the line of the city walls described a deep curve. The name is
+probably derived from the word Πρόσφορον, and denoted that
+the harbour was the resort of the craft which brought products
+from the country to the markets of the city.<a id='r812' /><a href='#f812' class='c009'><sup>[812]</sup></a> The harbour was also
+called the Phosphorion, as though associated with the sudden
+illumination of the heavens which saved the city from capture
+by Philip of Macedon. But its most common designation was
+τὸ Βοσπόριον, ὁ Βοόσπορος, ὁ Βόσπορος, probably because the
+point to which cattle were ferried across from Asia. The cattle-market
+was held here until the reign of Constantine Copronymus,
+who transferred it to the Forum of Taurus;<a id='r813' /><a href='#f813' class='c009'><sup>[813]</sup></a> here also stood
+warehouses for the storage of oil, and granaries, such as the
+Horrea Olearia, Horrea Troadensia, Horrea Valentiaca and
+Horrea Constantiaca.<a id='r814' /><a href='#f814' class='c009'><sup>[814]</sup></a> The granaries were inspected annually
+by the emperor.<a id='r815' /><a href='#f815' class='c009'><sup>[815]</sup></a> According to Demosthenes, the three statues
+erected by Byzantium and Perinthus in honour of Athens for
+the aid rendered against Philip of Macedon were set up at the
+Bosporus.<a id='r816' /><a href='#f816' class='c009'><sup>[816]</sup></a> But it is not certain whether the great orator used
+the name in a general sense, or with special reference to this
+port. The great fire in the fifth year of Leo I. started in the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_227'>227</span>market near this harbour, through the carelessness of a woman
+who left a lighted candle on a stall at which she had bought
+some salt fish.<a id='r817' /><a href='#f817' class='c009'><sup>[817]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>We reach, next, the last gate in the line of the Harbour
+Walls, the Gate of Eugenius (Πόρτα τοῦ Εὐγενίου), represented
+now by Yali Kiosk Kapoussi. Its identity is established by the
+following indications. It marked the eastern extremity of the
+fortifications along the Golden Horn,<a id='r818' /><a href='#f818' class='c009'><sup>[818]</sup></a> as the Xylo Porta marked
+their western terminus. Hence, the ditch constructed by Cantacuzene
+in front of those fortifications is described as extending
+from the Gate of Eugenius to the Gate Xylinè.<a id='r819' /><a href='#f819' class='c009'><sup>[819]</sup></a> In the next
+place, the gate was close to the head of the promontory, or
+Acropolis, for ships outward bound rounded the promontory
+soon after passing the gate, while incoming ships passed the
+gate soon after rounding the promontory.<a id='r820' /><a href='#f820' class='c009'><sup>[820]</sup></a> Again, the Church
+of St. Paul which stood near the gate is described, as situated
+in the quarter of the Acropolis, at the opening of the harbour.<a id='r821' /><a href='#f821' class='c009'><sup>[821]</sup></a>
+This is consistent with the fact that the gate was at a point from
+which St. Sophia could be easily reached.<a id='r822' /><a href='#f822' class='c009'><sup>[822]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Eugenius, after whom the gate, the adjacent tower, and the
+neighbouring district were named,<a id='r823' /><a href='#f823' class='c009'><sup>[823]</sup></a> was probably a distinguished
+proprietor in this part of the city. The gate bore an inscription
+commemorating repairs executed by a certain Julian;<a id='r824' /><a href='#f824' class='c009'><sup>[824]</sup></a>
+possibly, Julian who was Prefect of the City in the reign of
+Zeno, when Constantinople was shaken by a severe earthquake.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>There is reason to believe that besides its ordinary designation
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_228'>228</span>this gate bore also, at one time, the name Marmora Porta;
+for certain ecclesiastical documents of the year 1399 and the
+year 1441 speak of an entrance in the quarter of Eugenius,
+under the name Marmora Porta, Μαρμαροπόρτα ἐν τῇ ἐνορίᾳ τοῦ
+Εὐγενίου.<a id='r825' /><a href='#f825' class='c009'><sup>[825]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Scala Timasii, so named after Timasius, a celebrated
+general in the reign of Arcadius, was in the Fourth Region,<a id='r826' /><a href='#f826' class='c009'><sup>[826]</sup></a>
+and must therefore have been a pier near the Gate of
+Eugenius.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>At this entrance it was customary for the bride-elect of an
+emperor to land, upon reaching the capital by sea; here she was
+received in state by her future consort, and having been invested
+with the Imperial buskins and other insignia of her rank, was
+conducted on horseback to the palace.<a id='r827' /><a href='#f827' class='c009'><sup>[827]</sup></a> But what lends most
+interest to the gate is the fact that beside it rose the tower which
+held the southern end of the chain drawn across the harbour in
+time of war.<a id='r828' /><a href='#f828' class='c009'><sup>[828]</sup></a> Originally, the building, styled Kentenarion
+(Κεντενάριον), was a stately structure, but after its overthrow by
+an earthquake, Theophilus restored it as an ordinary tower.<a id='r829' /><a href='#f829' class='c009'><sup>[829]</sup></a>
+The chain was supported in the water by wooden floats,<a id='r830' /><a href='#f830' class='c009'><sup>[830]</sup></a> and
+its northern end was made fast to a tower in the fortifications
+of Galata, known as the Tower of Galata, “Le Tour de
+Galatas.”<a id='r831' /><a href='#f831' class='c009'><sup>[831]</sup></a> According to Gyllius, the gate near that tower was
+called Porta Catena,<a id='r832' /><a href='#f832' class='c009'><sup>[832]</sup></a> but, unfortunately, he does not indicate
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_229'>229</span>its precise position. From the nature of the case, however, it
+must have been near Kiretch Kapoussi, directly opposite the
+Gate of Eugenius.<a id='r833' /><a href='#f833' class='c009'><sup>[833]</sup></a></p>

+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>The employment of a chain to bar the entrance of the
+Golden Horn is mentioned for the first time in the famous
+siege of the city by the Saracens in 717-718, when the Emperor
+Leo lowered the chain with the hope of tempting the enemy’s
+ships into the narrow waters of the harbour.<a id='r834' /><a href='#f834' class='c009'><sup>[834]</sup></a> It appears
+next in the reign of Michael II., who thereby endeavoured,
+but in vain, to keep out the fleet with which his rival
+Thomas attacked the city.<a id='r835' /><a href='#f835' class='c009'><sup>[835]</sup></a> It was again employed by Nicephorus
+Phocas, in expectation of a Russian descent into the
+Bosporus.<a id='r836' /><a href='#f836' class='c009'><sup>[836]</sup></a> The Venetians found it obstructing their path when
+they stood before Constantinople in 1203, but removed it after
+capturing the Tower of Galata, to which it was secured.<a id='r837' /><a href='#f837' class='c009'><sup>[837]</sup></a>
+Finally, in 1453, it proved too strong for Sultan Mehemet to
+force, and drove him to devise the expedient of carrying his
+ships into the Golden Horn across the hills to Cassim Pasha.<a id='r838' /><a href='#f838' class='c009'><sup>[838]</sup></a>
+A portion of the chain used on the last occasion is preserved in
+the Church of St. Irene, within the Seraglio grounds.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the district of Eugenius were some of the most noted
+charitable institutions of the city, among which the great
+Orphanage<a id='r839' /><a href='#f839' class='c009'><sup>[839]</sup></a> and the Hospitia,<a id='r840' /><a href='#f840' class='c009'><sup>[840]</sup></a> built on the site of the old
+Stadium of Byzantium by Justinian the Great and Theodora,
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_230'>230</span>for the free accommodation of poor strangers, were conspicuous.
+There, also, stood the Church of St. Michael and the Church of
+St. Paul.<a id='r841' /><a href='#f841' class='c009'><sup>[841]</sup></a></p>
+<h3 class='c010'>The Basilikè Pylè.</h3>
+<p class='c007'>Before concluding the study of the Harbour Walls we must
+recur to the question which presented itself at an earlier stage
+of our inquiries, but was reserved for consideration at the close
+of this chapter, as more favourable to an intelligent and thorough
+discussion of the subject.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Where was the Basilikè Pylè which Byzantine historians,
+after the Restoration of the Empire, associate with this line of
+the city’s bulwarks? Was it, as some authorities maintain, at
+Balat Kapoussi,<a id='r842' /><a href='#f842' class='c009'><sup>[842]</sup></a> or, as others hold, in the neighbourhood of
+the Seraglio Point?<a id='r843' /><a href='#f843' class='c009'><sup>[843]</sup></a> Or is it possible that a gate bearing that
+epithet was found at both points?</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In favour of the opinion that the Imperial Gate was near the
+Seraglio Point there is, first, the statement of Phrantzes, already
+cited, to that effect. “To Gabriel of Treviso,” says the historian,<a id='r844' /><a href='#f844' class='c009'><sup>[844]</sup></a>
+“captain of the Venetian triremes, with fifty men under him, was
+entrusted the defence of the tower, in the middle of the current,
+guarding the entrance of the harbour; and he was opposite the
+Imperial Gate.”</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>What Phrantzes means by the “entrance of the harbour” (τὴν
+εἴσοδον τοῦ λιμένος) admits of no dispute, for the phrase has only
+one signification. But, as though to render mistake impossible,
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_231'>231</span>he repeats the expression, in that sense, several times. The
+Greek ships, which were moored beside the chain across the
+mouth of the harbour, and which the Sultan endeavoured to sink
+or drive away by the fire of a battery planted on the hill of St.
+Theodore, to the north-east of Galata, Phrantzes<a id='r845' /><a href='#f845' class='c009'><sup>[845]</sup></a> observes, were
+stationed “at the entrance of the harbour” (ἐν τῇ εἰσόδῳ τοῦ
+λιμένος). The object of this bombardment, adds the historian<a id='r846' /><a href='#f846' class='c009'><sup>[846]</sup></a> in
+the next sentence, was not simply to force “the entrance to the
+harbour” (διὰ τὴν εἴσοδον τοῦ λιμένος), but also to injure the
+Genoese shipping at that point, and thus show that the Sultan
+dared to act in any way he pleased, even towards the Italians
+of Galata. Again, Phrantzes<a id='r847' /><a href='#f847' class='c009'><sup>[847]</sup></a> remarks that the ships moored
+along the chain at the mouth of the harbour (ἐν τῶ στόματι
+τοῦ λιμένος) were placed here to render entrance into the
+harbour more difficult to the enemy (ὅπως ἰσχυροτέρως κωλύσωσι
+τὴν εἴσοδον).</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Equally decisive is the indication given regarding the tower
+which stood opposite the Imperial Gate. It was “in the middle
+of the current.” This statement carries the mind, at first, to the
+tower which stood on the rock off Scutari (Damalis, Arcla), where
+the lighthouse Kiz Kalehssi has been erected. But the idea that
+Phrantzes had that tower in view cannot be entertained for more
+than a moment; for to have stationed Gabriel there, with the
+Turkish fleet in complete command of the Bosporus and the Sea
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_232'>232</span>of Marmora, was not simply useless, but impossible. The current
+intended can be none other than the strong current at the head
+of the Seraglio Point, where it divides in two swift streams,
+which Nicephorus Gregoras<a id='r848' /><a href='#f848' class='c009'><sup>[848]</sup></a> compares to Scylla and Charybdis,
+one running up the Golden Horn, the other out into the Sea
+of Marmora. A tower near a point with rushing waters on
+either hand might aptly be described as “in the middle of the
+current.”<a id='r849' /><a href='#f849' class='c009'><sup>[849]</sup></a> Furthermore, Phrantzes<a id='r850' /><a href='#f850' class='c009'><sup>[850]</sup></a> mentions the tower referred
+to, in close connection with what stood, unquestionably, near the
+head of the promontory. He speaks of it immediately after
+the Horaia Pylè, and immediately before the ships which defended
+the chain across the harbour’s mouth, as though in the
+same vicinity.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the second place, the view that the Imperial Gate was
+near the Seraglio Point is supported by the testimony of
+Leonard of Scio, when he makes the statement that Gabriel of
+Treviso fought bravely, with his men, on the portion of the
+walls extending from the Beacon-tower as far as the Imperial
+Gate, at the entrance of the bay (of the Golden Horn):
+“Gabriel Trevsianus cordatissime a Turri Phani usque ad
+Imperialem Portam, ante sinum, decertabat.”<a id='r851' /><a href='#f851' class='c009'><sup>[851]</sup></a> The archbishop’s
+phrase “ante sinum” corresponds to Phrantzes’ ἐν τῇ εἰσόδῳ τοῦ
+λιμένος.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Thirdly, it remains to add, on this side of the question, that
+the order in which Pusculus mentions the gates in the Harbour
+Walls favours the view that the Basilikè Pylè was not at Balat
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_233'>233</span>Kapoussi. Proceeding from west to cast in his account of the
+defence of the fortifications along the Golden Horn, that author
+refers to seven gates in the following order: Xylina, Cynegon,
+Phani, Theodosia, Puteæ, Platea, Basilea,<a id='r852' /><a href='#f852' class='c009'><sup>[852]</sup></a> thus putting the
+Imperial Gate somewhere to the east of Oun Kapan Kapoussi.
+Had the Basilea stood at Balat Kapoussi it should have been
+mentioned immediately after Cynegon.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>This is the main evidence in support of the opinion that the
+Basilikè Pylè was near the Seraglio Point, and it is difficult to
+conceive of evidence more clear and conclusive.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The argument countenancing the view which identifies the
+Imperial Gate with Balat Kapoussi may be stated, briefly, thus:
+In the first place, when Leonard of Scio declares that Gabriel
+of Treviso defended the walls “a Turri Phani ad Imperialem
+Portam” he associates the Imperial Gate with the quarter of
+the Phanar. Again, when Ducas affirms that the Venetians
+assisted the Greeks in the defence of the walls from the Imperial
+Gate to the Kynegon,<a id='r853' /><a href='#f853' class='c009'><sup>[853]</sup></a> that entrance is associated with
+the district so named. The Imperial Gate, therefore, must
+have stood at a point between the Phanar and the Kynegon.
+But that is exactly the situation of Balat Kapoussi, with the
+quarter of the Phanar on its east, and the Kynegon on its west;
+hence the two gates were one and the same.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the next place, the epithet “Imperial” was eminently
+suitable for an entrance which stood at the foot of a hill surmounted
+by the Palace of the Porphyrogenitus, and from which
+the Palace of Blachernæ could be readily reached. How appropriate
+the epithet was is proved by the actual name of the
+gate, Balat Kapoussi (the Gate of the Palace), so similar in
+meaning to Basilikè Pylè.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the third place, on the shore outside the Basilikè Pylè
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_234'>234</span>stood a Church of St. John the Baptist.<a id='r854' /><a href='#f854' class='c009'><sup>[854]</sup></a> And in keeping with
+this fact, there is a Church of St. John the Baptist (the
+metochion of the Monastery of St. Catherine on Mount Sinai)
+outside Balat Kapoussi.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>These arguments are, however, open to criticism. So far as
+the statement of Leonard of Scio is concerned, it should be
+noted that he does not speak of the Turris Phani absolutely.
+Had he done so, the presumption would certainly be in favour
+of the view which understands him to refer to the district of
+the Phanar, half-way up the Golden Horn.<a id='r855' /><a href='#f855' class='c009'><sup>[855]</sup></a> But his complete
+statement on the subject is that the Turris Phani of which he
+was speaking stood, with the Imperial Gate beside it, “ante
+sinum,” at the entrance of the bay of the Golden Horn, thus
+making it manifest that he had in mind another beacon-tower
+than the one in the district commonly known as the Phanar.
+That the shore of the Golden Horn was lighted at more than
+one point during the night, and especially at the entrance of the
+harbour, is only what might be expected. Nor is there in the
+assertion of Ducas, that the Venetians and Greeks united their
+forces to defend the fortifications from the Imperial Gate to the
+Kynegon, anything to determine the distance between the two
+points. They might be very near, or they might be as far apart
+as the extremities of the Harbour Walls; for there is no reason
+to think that the Venetians defended only the small portion of
+the walls between Balat Kapoussi and the three archways to the
+west of that gate.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_235'>235</span>The remaining arguments under consideration have more
+force, but are by no means decisive. The appropriateness of
+the epithet “Imperial” to an entrance in the situation of Balat
+Kapoussi affords, certainly, a presumption in favour of the view
+that the entrance was so named, although it cannot, alone,
+prove that such was the fact. The name Balat Kapoussi
+appears only after the Turkish Conquest, and may or may not
+be borrowed from the Byzantine designation of the gate.
+The strongest argument on this side of the question is, undoubtedly,
+that drawn from the presence of the Church of St.
+John the Baptist on the shore to the north-east of Balat
+Kapoussi,<a id='r856' /><a href='#f856' class='c009'><sup>[856]</sup></a> the possible representative of the ancient church of
+that dedication “on the shore outside the Basilikè Pylè.”<a id='r857' /><a href='#f857' class='c009'><sup>[857]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>But, in any case, these arguments do not refute the proof
+adduced for the existence of a Basilikè Pylè near the Seraglio
+Point. They leave that fact undisturbed; and can only claim
+to give countenance to the idea that another Basilikè Pylè stood
+at Balat Kapoussi.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Two questions, accordingly, are involved in the problem
+before us. Which of the gates near the Seraglio Point was
+styled the Basilikè Pylè? Was that gate the only Imperial
+Gate in the line of the Harbour Walls, or do some statements
+of Byzantine historians on the subject imply the existence of
+a second Basilikè Pylè?</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the opinion of Leunclavius, the Imperial Gate is to be
+identified with the Horaia Pylè (the Gate of the Neorion) at
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_236'>236</span>Bagtchè Kapoussi.<a id='r858' /><a href='#f858' class='c009'><sup>[858]</sup></a> But if the Horaia Pylè was at Bagtchè
+Kapoussi, the Basilikè Pylè could not be there also. The two
+entrances are unmistakably distinguished by Phrantzes, who
+mentions both in the same connection, the one immediately
+after the other, and states that, in the defence of the fortifications
+along the harbour, the Beautiful Gate was in charge of
+the crew of a vessel from Crete, while the Imperial Gate was
+under the care of Gabriel of Treviso.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>But this is an objection which has force only against those
+who adopt the view that the Horaia Pylè stood at Bagtchè
+Kapoussi.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>A more general objection to the view of Leunclavius is that
+Bagtchè Kapoussi does not occupy the situation attributed to
+the Imperial Gate by Phrantzes and Leonard of Scio. It is not
+opposite a tower guarding the entrance of the harbour; it is
+too far up the Golden Horn to be described as “ante sinum.”</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>This being so there are only two gates with one or other
+of which the Imperial Gate can be identified, if the indications
+furnished on the subject by Phrantzes and Leonard of Scio are
+strictly followed. It was either the Gate of Eugenius (Yali
+Kiosk Kapoussi), as Gerlach maintains,<a id='r859' /><a href='#f859' class='c009'><sup>[859]</sup></a> or the Gate of St.
+Barbara (Top Kapoussi), which stands immediately to the south
+of Seraglio Point, and was, therefore, so near the Harbour Walls
+that it might be included in an account of their defence.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The description of the Imperial Gate given by the historians
+above mentioned, applies equally well to both these entrances.
+Both stand near the mouth of the harbour, and opposite a tower
+“in the middle of the current;” both occupy a point of great
+strategical importance, such as the Basilikè Pylè must have
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_237'>237</span>occupied, if we may judge from the fact that it was entrusted
+to commanders like Gabriel of Treviso and the Duke Notaras;
+both entrances were, in the course of history, associated with
+the Court<a id='r860' /><a href='#f860' class='c009'><sup>[860]</sup></a> in a way which might have earned for them the
+distinction of the epithet, “Imperial.”</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>It is not easy to decide, directly, between conflicting claims
+so nicely balanced. Judgment on the point at issue will
+doubtless be determined, largely, by the views adopted on
+questions indirectly connected with the matter in dispute,
+especially by what view is taken as regards the situation of
+the Horaia Pylè. Any one who upholds the accuracy of Ducas
+regarding the point to which the southern end of the chain was
+attached, and identifies the Beautiful Gate with Yali Kiosk
+Kapoussi (the Gate of Eugenius) will, necessarily, identify the
+Imperial Gate with Top Kapoussi. On the other hand, those
+who accept the opinion that the Beautiful Gate stood, as the
+Greeks in the sixteenth century maintained, at Bagtchè
+Kapoussi, may, though still free to place the Imperial Gate at
+Top Kapoussi, nevertheless prefer to place it at Yali Kiosk
+Kapoussi, as, on the whole, more in accordance with the indications
+of its position. If at the latter point, one can understand
+more readily why the Imperial Gate should have been
+associated with the Harbour Walls, and why Phrantzes mentions
+it immediately after the Horaia Pylè, and before the chain and
+the ships at the harbour’s mouth.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Having thus indicated which of the gates near the Seraglio
+Point have the strongest claim to be regarded as the Basilikè
+Pylè, it remains to consider the question whether either of those
+gates was the only entrance bearing that epithet, in the Harbour
+Walls.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Are there, in other words, any statements made by Byzantine
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_238'>238</span>writers in reference to the Basilikè Pylè which cannot be
+applied to the Gate of Eugenius or to the Gate of St. Barbara,
+and which, therefore, imply the existence of another gate of
+that name? So far as the Gate of St. Barbara is concerned,
+there are several such statements. The narrow quay outside
+Top Kapoussi could not afford room for the Church of St. John,
+the hospitium, and the other buildings, which are described as
+situated on the shore outside the Basilikè Pylè.<a id='r861' /><a href='#f861' class='c009'><sup>[861]</sup></a> Nor could a
+ship be moored in front of that gate, as the ship of the Catalan
+chief Berenger was moored in front of the Imperial Gate.<a id='r862' /><a href='#f862' class='c009'><sup>[862]</sup></a> Nor
+was it necessary, before that gate could be attacked by the
+Turkish fleet, that the chain across the entrance of the Golden
+Horn should be forced, as we are told was necessary in the case
+of the Basilikè Pylè to which Critobulus alludes.<a id='r863' /><a href='#f863' class='c009'><sup>[863]</sup></a> Hence the
+opinion that the Basilikè Pylè was another name for the Gate
+of St. Barbara involves the view that there were two Imperial
+Gates.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The claim of the Gate of Eugenius to be the sole Basilikè
+Pylè encounters but one serious objection. Critobulus, it
+would appear, distinguishes the two entrances. He refers to
+the former to indicate where the southern end of the chain across
+the harbour was attached;<a id='r864' /><a href='#f864' class='c009'><sup>[864]</sup></a> he speaks of the latter to mark the
+point which the Turkish fleet attacked on the last day of the
+siege, after breaking the chain, and becoming master of the
+Golden Horn.<a id='r865' /><a href='#f865' class='c009'><sup>[865]</sup></a> For as soon as the Turkish admiral perceived
+that the Sultan’s troops had entered the city, and were busily
+engaged in the work of plunder, he made a desperate attempt
+upon the chain, cut it asunder, and forced his way into the
+harbour. Then, having captured or sunk the Greek galleys found
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_239'>239</span>in the port, he led his ships to the Imperial Gate (ταῖς βασιλικαῖς
+πόλαις) and landed his sailors in quest of booty. The gate was,
+however, still held by the Greeks, as the Turkish troops had not
+yet reached it from within the city. A fierce struggle therefore
+ensued. But at last the gate was burst open, its brave defenders
+were slain to a man, their blood pouring through it like a
+stream, and the assailants rushed in to share the spoils of
+victory.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>What is here related might hold true of the Gate of
+Eugenius. Such facts as that the Imperial Gate stood within
+the chain, that before attacking it the Greek vessels in the
+harbour had to be disposed of, that it was held for a considerable
+time after the Turkish army had entered the city, are all consistent
+with the idea that the Basilikè Pylè, to which Critobulus
+refers, was the Gate of Eugenius. But, on the other hand, if
+the Gate of Eugenius was both the entrance to which the chain
+was attached and the entrance captured by the Turkish
+admiral after the chain had been broken, it comes very near
+defying all the laws of the association of ideas for the historian
+to speak of the entrance by different names, when the
+matters he records were so closely connected. This is a very
+serious objection to the identification of the Imperial Gate
+which Critobulus had in mind with the Gate of Eugenius. Hence,
+if this objection cannot be removed by saying that he could
+speak of the same gate by different names in different passages
+of his work, it follows that the epithet “Basilikè” did not belong
+exclusively to the Gate of Eugenius (any more than to the Gate
+of St. Barbara), but was bestowed also upon a gate higher up
+the Golden Horn.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>This being the case, there can be no hesitation where the
+latter was situated. Balat Kapoussi, by the significance of its
+name, by its proximity to Imperial palaces, and by the presence
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_240'>240</span>of a Church of St. John, with room for other buildings, on the
+territory outside the gate, establishes the best claim to be considered
+the second Basilikè Pylè in the line of the harbour
+fortifications.<a id='r866' /><a href='#f866' class='c009'><sup>[866]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Why the Turkish admiral selected it as the point at which
+to land his sailors is explained by the wealthy character of the
+adjoining quarter of the city.<a id='r867' /><a href='#f867' class='c009'><sup>[867]</sup></a></p>

+  <h3 class='c010'>The Route taken in carrying the Turkish Ships across the Hills from the Bosporus to the Golden Horn.</h3>
+</div>
+<p class='c007'>Owing to the conflicting statements of contemporary historians
+on the subject, the precise route followed in carrying the Sultan’s
+ships, across the hills, from the Bosporus to the Golden Horn,
+is not fully settled. So far, indeed, as the point at which
+the ships reached the Golden Horn is concerned, there can be
+little, if any, room for doubt, though the historians differ even
+on that matter. The most reliable testimony, however, and
+the configuration of the territory on the northern side of the
+harbour, are in favour of the view that the Bay of Cassim Pasha
+was the point in question. Critobulus<a id='r868' /><a href='#f868' class='c009'><sup>[868]</sup></a> names the point the
+Cold Waters,<a id='r869' /><a href='#f869' class='c009'><sup>[869]</sup></a> and describes it as situated at a short distance
+from Galata (Ψυχρὰ Ὕδατα, μικρὸν ἀπωτέρω τοῦ Γαλατᾶ). Nicolò
+Barbaro<a id='r870' /><a href='#f870' class='c009'><sup>[870]</sup></a> designates it as the Harbour of Pera, or Galata—“Abiando
+tragetà dentro dal porto de Constantinopoli ben fuste
+setantado, e redusele in porto dentro del navarchio de Pera”—and
+explains the possibility of the occupation of a point so near
+Galata by the excellent relations existing between the Turks
+and the Genoese: “E questo perchè lor Turchi avea bona paxe
+con Zenovexi.” At variance with these statements, Ducas<a id='r871' /><a href='#f871' class='c009'><sup>[871]</sup></a>
+says the ships were launched into the harbour opposite Eyoub
+(Cosmidion), but that is contrary to all the probabilities of the
+case. Phrantzes<a id='r872' /><a href='#f872' class='c009'><sup>[872]</sup></a> sheds no light upon the question.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In regard to the starting-point from the Bosporus, there is
+general agreement that it was somewhere on the shore between
+Beshiktash and Top Haneh; Andreossy<a id='r873' /><a href='#f873' class='c009'><sup>[873]</sup></a> being singular in
+supposing that the vessels left the Bosporus at Balta Liman.
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_242'>242</span>Now, there are four ravines or valleys that run inland from the
+shore between Beshiktash and Top Haneh towards the ridge
+dividing the Bosporus and the Golden Horn: the valleys of
+Beshiktash, Dolma Bagtchè, Sali Bazaar, and Top Haneh,
+which reach the top of the ridge, respectively at Ferikeui,
+the Municipal Gardens, Taxim, and Asmali-Medjid Sokaki.
+And the decision of the question which of these valleys was
+the one actually selected by the Sultan will depend partly upon
+our estimate of the respective merits of the historians whose
+testimony has to be considered, and partly upon the comparative
+suitableness of the various routes to serve the object in view.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Of the four routes indicated above, the two which proceed,
+respectively, by the valley of Top Haneh and the valley of
+Dolma Bagtchè present, both on the ground of history and
+natural fitness, the strongest claims for consideration.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In favour of the Top Haneh route, there is, first, the fact
+that it was the shortest route; and secondly, that its length
+corresponds to that which Critobulus<a id='r874' /><a href='#f874' class='c009'><sup>[874]</sup></a> assigns to the road taken
+by the ships across the hills, viz. eight stadia, or one mile.
+Accordingly, Dr. Dethier<a id='r875' /><a href='#f875' class='c009'><sup>[875]</sup></a> and Dr. Paspates<a id='r876' /><a href='#f876' class='c009'><sup>[876]</sup></a> maintain that the
+Sultan’s ships were transported from the Bosporus to the Golden
+Horn by way of Top Haneh, Koumbaradji Sokaki, Asmali-Medjid
+Sokaki, and the Petits Champs.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>On the other hand, the Dolma Bagtchè route has in its
+favour, first, the statement made by several historians, including
+Critobulus himself, that the point on the Bosporus from which
+the ships started to cross the hills was near the Diplokionion,
+the name for Beshiktash in Byzantine times. Ducas<a id='r877' /><a href='#f877' class='c009'><sup>[877]</sup></a> describes
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_243'>243</span>that point as situated to the east of Galata, below the Diplokionion.
+Pusculus<a id='r878' /><a href='#f878' class='c009'><sup>[878]</sup></a> speaks of it as not far from the twin
+columns: “Columnis haud longè a geminis, surgunt quæ ad sidera
+rectæ.” Nicolò Barbaro<a id='r879' /><a href='#f879' class='c009'><sup>[879]</sup></a> is, if possible, even more explicit.
+According to him, the levelling of the road across the hill above
+Pera commenced from the shore where the columns, and the
+station of the Turkish fleet, were found: “<i>Siando tuta la sua
+armada sorta a le colone</i>, che sun mia de luntan de la tera, fexe
+che tute le zurme muntasse in tera, e fexe spianar tuto el monte
+che son de sopra a zitade de Pera, <i>comenzando da la marina, zae
+da li da le colone dove che era armada</i>.” Critobulus,<a id='r880' /><a href='#f880' class='c009'><sup>[880]</sup></a> as already
+intimated, styles the starting-point of the expedition the Diplokionion.
+Now, the Diplokionion was not at Top Haneh, but at
+Beshiktash, and the harbour of the Diplokionion must have been
+the bay which formerly occupied the site of Dolma Bagtchè.<a id='r881' /><a href='#f881' class='c009'><sup>[881]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the second place, in the Dolma Bagtchè route we have
+the distance which Nicolò Barbaro<a id='r882' /><a href='#f882' class='c009'><sup>[882]</sup></a> declares was traversed by
+the Turkish ships in their overland passage, <i>i.e.</i> three miles:
+“Comenzando de la marina, zae da li da le colone dove che era
+armada, per infino dentro dal porte de Constantinopoli, <i>che son
+mia tre</i>.”</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Great weight attaches to the testimony of Barbaro upon this
+point; for Critobulus was not present at the siege, while
+Nicolò Barbaro was surgeon of one of the Venetian galleys
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_244'>244</span>which took part in the defence of the chain across the entrance
+to the Golden Horn, kept a diary of the incidents of the siege,
+must have taken particular interest in the movements of the
+Turkish fleet, and was in the way of obtaining the best available
+information on the subject. Certainly, if the transport of the
+Turkish ships started from a point so near the chain and the
+Greek and foreign ships guarding it as the site of Top Haneh,
+Barbaro had every opportunity to know the fact, and it is
+inexplicable how he could have made the mistake of representing
+another locality as the scene of the achievement.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>With Barbaro agrees another competent witness, Jacques
+Tedaldi, a Florentine merchant, who took part in the defence
+of the city, and who gives the distance over which the ships
+were carried as from two to three miles: “Fit porter de la mer
+par terre deux ou trois milles, de soixant dix a quatre-vingts
+gallées que aultres fustes armées, dedans le gouffle de Mandraquins
+qui est entre les deux citez, auxquieuls est le port de
+Constantinople.”<a id='r883' /><a href='#f883' class='c009'><sup>[883]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>If, in the next place, we judge between the two routes by
+their comparative fitness to facilitate the accomplishment of the
+Sultan’s design, the Dolma Bagtchè route can claim the superiority
+in that respect. Had the matter of distance been all the Sultan
+required to consider in choosing the road for his ships, the decision
+would necessarily have been in favour of the Top Haneh route.
+But, surely, other matters also had to be taken into account. It
+was desirable, for example, that the route should be situated where
+all the preparations necessary to effect the passage could be readily
+made, where they would be beyond the reach of interference on
+the part of the Greeks, where they would, as the conveyance of
+the ships by night proves was the Sultan’s wish, be screened
+from hostile observation, and result in taking the enemy by
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_245'>245</span>surprise. All this was impossible at the site now occupied by
+Top Haneh, which stood but a short distance outside the chain
+and its guard-ships. There the Sultan’s preparations—the levelling
+of the ground, the laying down of sleepers and planks along
+which the cradles carrying the ships were to be drawn, the
+gathering of seventy to eighty vessels, the army of men
+collected to draw the ships out of the water and overland,—would
+be too much in the public eye to satisfy the requirements
+of the case.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>On the other hand, although the Dolma Bagtchè route laboured
+under the disadvantage of being longer than the road from Top
+Haneh, the distance it presented was not excessive, while it
+offered ample compensation for the additional efforts which its
+greater length occasioned. It started from the usual station of
+the Turkish fleet in the Bosporus, where all requisite means for
+executing the Sultan’s purpose could be obtained with the least
+difficulty, where no attack was to be apprehended, where the
+presence of a large number of ships would excite no suspicions,
+and where, it was reasonable to expect, the great secret could
+be kept as long as necessary. From the point of fitness to serve
+the scheme contemplated, the route from Dolma Bagtchè had
+most to recommend it, taking all things into consideration.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Turkish historians do not afford any assistance to solve the
+problem under discussion. Evlia Tchelebi pretends that the
+ships were not brought from the Bosporus, but that some of
+them were constructed at Kiathaneh, the Sweet Waters, at the
+head of the harbour, and others at Levend Tchiflik (probably
+the Kutchuk Levend Tchiflik situated, in old Turkish times,
+high up the longer arm of the Dolma Bagtchè valley, not the
+Levend Tchiflik above the head of the valley of Balta Liman);
+and that the latter portion of the flotilla was carried to the
+Golden Horn by way of the Ok Meidan behind Haskeui,
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_246'>246</span>and the gardens of the Arsenal (Tersaneh Bagtchessi). Another
+Turkish authority says the ships were transported from Dolma
+Bagtchè to Cassim Pasha.</p>
+<h3 class='c010'>NOTE.</h3>
+<p class='c015'>According to Leonard of Scio (p. 920), the distance over which the Turkish ships
+were conveyed was seventy stadia, “ad stadia septuaginta trahi biremes.” This
+statement involves so many questions which are difficult, if not impossible, to decide,
+that it affords no assistance in determining where the ships crossed the hills. The
+archbishop’s account of the Sultan’s action is given in the following words: “Quare
+ut coangustaret circumvalleratque magis urbem, jussit invia æquare; exque colle,
+suppositis lenitis vasis lacertorum sex, ad stadia septuaginta trahi biremes, quæ ascensu
+gravius sublatæ, posthac ex apice in declivum, in ripam sinus levissime introrsum
+vehebantur.”</p>
+
+<p class='c005'>Now, if the “seventy stadia” in this passage are to be understood in the ordinary
+sense of the words, the route taken by the ships was over eight English miles in
+length. But from no point between Top Haneh and Beshiktash is the distance to
+the Golden Horn, across the hills, so great. Hence the language of Leonard has
+been variously interpreted, in the hope of bringing it into accord with what his commentators
+deemed the real facts in the case. Dethier, in his annotations to Zorzo
+Dolfin (<i>Siège de Constantinople</i>, No. xxii. p. 998), maintains that the numeral seventy
+gives the number of the ships transported over the hills, and not the length of the
+road tranversed: “Non sono 70 stadia, ma 70 galere o fuste.” Charles Müller,
+the editor of Critobulus, referring to the statement of Leonard, expresses the same
+opinion as Dethier, and thinks that the number for the stadia has dropped out of the
+text of Leonard: “Stadiorum numerus excedisse videtur, nam septuaginta vox ad
+navium numerum, quem eundem etiam Chalcocondylas, p. 387, 8 præbet, referenda
+est” (<i>Fragm. Hist. Græc.</i> p. 87). Another possible view is that the number seventy
+is due to an error in the text. Or, finally, it may be supposed that Leonard employed
+the term “stadium” in a peculiar sense. One presumption in favour of this
+supposition is the fact that elsewhere in his epistle, the measurements of Leonard
+by stadia seem too gross mistakes to be made by such a man as the archbishop, with
+the ordinary idea of a stadium in his mind. The bridge, for example, which the
+Sultan built at Haskeui, to bring his cannon closer to the Harbour Walls, and which
+Phrantzes (p. 252) says was one hundred ortygia long, or one stadium, Leonard
+(p. 931) represents as about thirty stadia in length, <i>i.e.</i>, according to the ordinary
+computation, between three and four miles in length, where the harbour is not half a
+mile wide. Again, Leonard (p. 970) speaks of the Turkish fleet as anchoring at a
+point less than one hundred stadia from the shore of the Propontis: “Minus ad
+stadia centum Propontidis ripa anchoras figunt”—a statement which, if it refers to the
+distance of Beshiktash from the Seraglio Point, would make that part of the Bosporus
+about ten miles broad! It should also be added that Charles Müller thinks that the
+stadium of the later Byzantine writers was one-third less than the Olympic stadium:
+“Adeo ut stadium tertia parte minus quam vetus stadium Olympicum subesse videri
+possit” (<i>Fragm. Hist. Græc.</i>, v. p. 76). Du Cange (<i>Glossarium Med. et Infim.
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_247'>247</span>Latinitatis</i>) says, respecting the use of the term “stadium” by mediæval writers,
+“Mensuræ species, sed ignota prorsus.”</p>
+
+<p class='c005'>Zorzo Dolfin translates the account which Leonard gives of the ships’ passage
+across the hills, as follows: “Et per coangustar, et circumuallar piu la terra, commando,
+fusse spianato le uie, et sopra i colli messi in terra i uasi a forza de brazze
+... per 70 stadia che sono circa miglia ... introdusse le fuste nel mandrachio, le
+qual per ... miglia con fatica se tiranno in suxo” (Dethier, <i>Siège de Constantinople</i>,
+No. xxii. p. 997). If the number of miles had been given, or had not disappeared,
+how much discussion would have been spared!</p>

+<p class='c008'>What they had most reason to dread was the open sea upon
+whose margin they stood, its ceaseless, unwearied sap and mine
+of their foundations, and the furious assaults of its angry waves.
+This explains some peculiarities noticeable in their construction.
+The line of their course, for instance, was extremely irregular,
+turning in and out with every bend of the shore, to present
+always as short and sharp a front as possible to the waves that
+dashed against them. They were protected, moreover, by a breakwater
+of loose boulders,<a id='r885' /><a href='#f885' class='c009'><sup>[885]</sup></a> scattered in the sea along their base.
+And the extent to which marble shafts were built, as bonds, into
+the lower courses of the walls and towers was, doubtless, another
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_249'>249</span>precaution adopted to maintain the stability of these fortifications.
+A large portion of these walls is built in arches closed
+on their outer face, and seems to be the work of a late age.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The walls had at least thirteen entrances.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The first gate, Top Kapoussi, a short distance to the south of
+the apex of the promontory, was known as the Gate of St. Barbara
+(ἡ τῆς μάρτυρος Βαρβάρας καλουμένη Πύλη),<a id='r886' /><a href='#f886' class='c009'><sup>[886]</sup></a> after a church
+of that dedication in the vicinity; the presence of a sanctuary
+consecrated to the patroness of fire-arms at this point being
+explained by the fact that the Mangana, or great military arsenal
+of the city, stood a little to the south of the gate.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The gate was guarded also on the north-west, by the Church
+of St. Demetrius, another military saint, and was therefore sometimes
+styled by the Greeks, after the Turkish Conquest, the Gate
+of St. Demetrius.<a id='r887' /><a href='#f887' class='c009'><sup>[887]</sup></a> It was likewise known as the Eastern Gate,<a id='r888' /><a href='#f888' class='c009'><sup>[888]</sup></a>
+owing to its position on the eastern shore of the city.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Here, probably, stood one of the gates of old Byzantium; for
+when the city was occupied by the Greeks under Xenophon, the
+Spartan admiral, Anaxibius, escaped to the Acropolis by taking
+boat in the Golden Horn, and rounding the promontory to
+the side facing Chalcedon.<a id='r889' /><a href='#f889' class='c009'><sup>[889]</sup></a> The pier in front of the gate was
+called the Pier of the Acropolis (ἡ τῆς ἀκροπόλεως σκάλα);<a id='r890' /><a href='#f890' class='c009'><sup>[890]</sup></a> and
+for the convenience of the boatmen and sailors frequenting it,
+a chapel of St. Nicholas, their patron saint, was attached to the
+Church of St. Barbara.<a id='r891' /><a href='#f891' class='c009'><sup>[891]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>According to the inscriptions<a id='r892' /><a href='#f892' class='c009'><sup>[892]</sup></a> found upon the gate, it was
+included in the repairs of the seaward walls in the reign of
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_250'>250</span>Theophilus. As became its important position, it was a handsome
+portal, flanked, like the Golden Gate, by two large towers
+of white marble,<a id='r893' /><a href='#f893' class='c009'><sup>[893]</sup></a> and beside it, if not in it, Nicephorus Phocas
+placed the beautiful gates which he carried away from Tarsus
+as trophies of his Cilician campaigns.<a id='r894' /><a href='#f894' class='c009'><sup>[894]</sup></a> On two occasions it
+served as a triumphal entrance into the city, John Comnenus
+using it for that purpose in 1126, to celebrate the capture of
+Castamon;<a id='r895' /><a href='#f895' class='c009'><sup>[895]</sup></a> and Manuel Comnenus in 1168, on his return from
+the Hungarian War.<a id='r896' /><a href='#f896' class='c009'><sup>[896]</sup></a> In 1816 the towers of the gate
+furnished material for the Marble Kiosk which Sultan Mahmoud
+IV. erected in the neighbourhood;<a id='r897' /><a href='#f897' class='c009'><sup>[897]</sup></a> and in 1871 the gate
+disappeared during the construction of the Roumelian railway.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Proceeding southwards from the Gate of St. Barbara, we
+reach the entrance known as Deïrmen Kapoussi. It is clearly
+Byzantine, but its Greek name is lost.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Between it and the Gate of St. Barbara must have stood
+the Mangana (τὰ Μάγγανα),<a id='r898' /><a href='#f898' class='c009'><sup>[898]</sup></a> or Arsenal, with its workshops,
+materials of war, and library of books on military art. Its site
+is identified by the statement of Nicetas Choniates,<a id='r899' /><a href='#f899' class='c009'><sup>[899]</sup></a> that it faced
+the rocky islet off the shore of Chrysopolis, on which the beacon
+tower Kiz Kalehssi, or Leander’s Tower, is now built. For,
+according to that historian, Manuel Comnenus, with the view of
+closing the Bosporus against naval attack from the south,
+erected two towers between which he might suspend a chain
+across the entrance of the straits; one of them, named Damalis
+and Arcla (Δάμαλις, Ἄρκλα), being on the rock off Chrysopolis,<a id='r900' /><a href='#f900' class='c009'><sup>[900]</sup></a>
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_251'>251</span>the other, opposite to it, very close to the Monastery of
+Mangana.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Tower of the Mangana was exceedingly strong, capable
+of withstanding a siege by the whole city.<a id='r901' /><a href='#f901' class='c009'><sup>[901]</sup></a> Hence, in the
+struggle between Apocaucus and Cantacuzene, the former held
+it with great determination.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>To the rear of Deïrmen Kapoussi a hollow, now occupied by
+market-gardens, indicates the site of the Kynegion, the amphitheatre
+erected by Severus when he restored Byzantium.<a id='r902' /><a href='#f902' class='c009'><sup>[902]</sup></a> A
+combat of wild animals was held here as late as the reign
+of Justinian the Great, in honour of his consulship.<a id='r903' /><a href='#f903' class='c009'><sup>[903]</sup></a> Subsequently,
+the Kynegion became a place of execution for important
+political offenders. There, Justinian II., on his restoration to the
+throne, put his rivals, Leontius and Apsimarus, to death, after
+subjecting them to public humiliation in the Hippodrome, by
+resting his feet upon their necks, while he viewed the games.<a id='r904' /><a href='#f904' class='c009'><sup>[904]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>A little to the south of the Kynegion stood the Church and
+Monastery of St. George at the Mangana (Μοναστήριον κατὰ
+τὰ λεγόμενα Μάγγανα, ἐπ᾽ ὀνόματι τοῦ ἁγίου μεγάλου μάρτυρος
+Γεωργίου). It was an erection of Constantine Monomachus,<a id='r905' /><a href='#f905' class='c009'><sup>[905]</sup></a> and
+one of the most splendid and important monasteries in the
+city. Its site is determined by the following indications; the
+church was opposite Chrysopolis,<a id='r906' /><a href='#f906' class='c009'><sup>[906]</sup></a> and near the Mangana and the
+Kynegion;<a id='r907' /><a href='#f907' class='c009'><sup>[907]</sup></a> it stood in the midst of meadows, and to it were
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_252'>252</span>attached gardens and a hospital.<a id='r908' /><a href='#f908' class='c009'><sup>[908]</sup></a> “There was,” says Clavijo,
+the Spanish envoy, “before the entrance (of the church), a wide
+court containing many gardens and houses; the church itself
+stood in the middle of these gardens.”<a id='r909' /><a href='#f909' class='c009'><sup>[909]</sup></a> Now, room for a
+church with such surroundings existed only to the south of the
+Kynegion, where a comparatively extensive plain is found;
+while the territory to the north was contracted, and was, moreover,
+otherwise occupied. This conclusion is corroborated by
+the statement of the Russian pilgrims that the Monastery of
+the Mangana lay to the <i>west</i> of the Church of St. Saviour.<a id='r910' /><a href='#f910' class='c009'><sup>[910]</sup></a>
+That church, we shall find, stood at Indjili Kiosk.<a id='r911' /><a href='#f911' class='c009'><sup>[911]</sup></a> Hence, a
+building to the west of that point would be on the plain above
+indicated.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>From the Church of St. George mediæval writers derived the
+name of Braz Saint George for the Sea of Marmora and the
+Hellespont.<a id='r912' /><a href='#f912' class='c009'><sup>[912]</sup></a> The Emperor John Cantacuzene, upon his abdication,
+was for some time a monk in the Monastery of Mangana,
+under the name Joasaph (Ἰωάσαφ), until he withdrew to the deeper
+seclusion of the Monastery of Batopedi, on Mount Athos.<a id='r913' /><a href='#f913' class='c009'><sup>[913]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The next gate, Demir Kapoussi, is a Turkish erection that
+may have replaced an older entrance.<a id='r914' /><a href='#f914' class='c009'><sup>[914]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>A little further south, arched buttresses, forming the substructures
+on which the villa known as Indjili Kiosk, in the
+Seraglio grounds, once stood, are seen built against the walls.
+Through these buttresses the water of a Holy Spring within
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_253'>253</span>the city was, until recently, conducted to the outer side of the
+walls, and thus rendered accessible to the Christians of the Greek
+Orthodox Church, who sought the benefit of its healing virtues.
+This was the Holy Spring of the Church of St. Saviour, celebrated
+as a fountain of health long before the Turkish Conquest.
+“Tout cet endroit ressemble la piscine de Salomon qui est à
+Jérusalem!” exclaims one of the Russian pilgrims, who visited
+the shrine during the period of the Palæologi.<a id='r915' /><a href='#f915' class='c009'><sup>[915]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Its identity cannot be disputed. For the memory of the fact
+that the Church of St. Saviour stood at this point has been
+preserved by the annual pilgrimages made to the spot, on the
+Festival of the Transfiguration, from the time of the Turkish
+Conquest until the year 1821, when the privilege of frequenting
+the spring was withdrawn, on account of the political events of
+the day. Such popular customs afford strong evidence.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The first writer who refers to the church and spring after
+1453 is Gyllius,<a id='r916' /><a href='#f916' class='c009'><sup>[916]</sup></a> who, speaking of the water-gates in the walls
+around the Seraglio, describes the position of Demir Kapoussi
+thus: “The fourth gate (counting from Yali Kiosk Kapoussi)
+faces south-east (solis exortum spectat hibernum), and is not far
+from the ruins of the church dedicated to Christ, for the remains
+of which, found built in the wall, the Greeks show much reverence,
+by visiting them in great crowds.” Thevenot<a id='r917' /><a href='#f917' class='c009'><sup>[917]</sup></a> and Grelot<a id='r918' /><a href='#f918' class='c009'><sup>[918]</sup></a>
+give a long account of the animated scene witnessed here on the
+Festival of the Transfiguration, in their day. The Sultan himself
+would sometimes come to Indjili Kiosk to be entertained by
+the spectacle presented on that occasion, particularly by seeing
+sick persons buried up to the neck in the sand on the seashore,
+as a method of cure. Hammer writes to the same effect,
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_254'>254</span>but supposed the spring to be the Hagiasma of the Virgin, and
+thought it marked the site of the Church of the Theotokos
+Hodegetria, which was in this vicinity, and to which also a
+Holy Spring was attached.<a id='r919' /><a href='#f919' class='c009'><sup>[919]</sup></a> But this opinion, adopted also by
+Labarte,<a id='r920' /><a href='#f920' class='c009'><sup>[920]</sup></a> is opposed to all the evidence upon the subject.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Finally, there is the testimony of the Patriarch Constantius,
+already alluded to, that from 1453 to 1821 the Hagiasma at
+Indjili Kiosk was annually frequented on the 6th of August,
+as the Holy Well associated with the Church of St. Saviour:
+“The Greeks still revered, until a few years ago, as a matter
+of tradition, the Hagiasma of the Saviour, which was under
+Indjili Kiosk.”<a id='r921' /><a href='#f921' class='c009'><sup>[921]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In striking agreement with this evidence since the Turkish
+Conquest, are the accounts given regarding the Church of St.
+Saviour by writers previous to that event. According to them,
+the church was in the neighbourhood of the Church of St. George
+Mangana, and to the east of that sanctuary; it stood close to the
+sea, immediately behind the city walls; its Holy Spring was
+enclosed within the walls, and yet could be reached from without;
+in front of the walls through which the sacred stream flowed, was
+a beach of sand endowed with healing properties.<a id='r922' /><a href='#f922' class='c009'><sup>[922]</sup></a> Nothing can
+be more conclusive.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>This identification is of the greatest importance for the
+topographical reconstruction of the quarters of Byzantine Constantinople
+along the eastern shore of the promontory, for, with
+that church as a fixed point, it becomes comparatively easy to
+determine the positions of other noted buildings in the neighbourhood.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>By means of that landmark, for example, the situation of
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_255'>255</span>the Church of St. George Mangana can, we have seen, be fixed.<a id='r923' /><a href='#f923' class='c009'><sup>[923]</sup></a>
+It enables us also to settle, without prolonged discussion, the
+question raised by the extensive ruins discovered behind Indjili
+Kiosk, when the ground was cleared, in 1871, for the construction
+of the Roumelian railroad. The walls of an edifice 322 feet long
+by 53 feet wide, were then brought to view, and among the <i>débris</i>
+marble pillars and capitals were found in such numbers, as to
+prove that the building to which they belonged had been one of
+considerable importance.<a id='r924' /><a href='#f924' class='c009'><sup>[924]</sup></a> Because some of the capitals seemed
+ornamented with the heads of bulls and lions, Dr. Paspates
+came to the conclusion that the ruins were the remains of the
+celebrated Palace of the Bucoleon.<a id='r925' /><a href='#f925' class='c009'><sup>[925]</sup></a> On the other hand,
+Dr. Mordtmann thinks that here was the site of the Imperial
+residence, known as the Palace of Mangana,<a id='r926' /><a href='#f926' class='c009'><sup>[926]</sup></a> an erection of
+Basil I.<a id='r927' /><a href='#f927' class='c009'><sup>[927]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>That the latter opinion is the correct one may be proved by
+means of the fact that the Church of St. Saviour stood at Indjili
+Kiosk. In the first place, the Palace of Mangana was near the
+Church of St. George Mangana—so near that the destruction
+of that palace by Isaac Angelus, to obtain material for edifices
+of his own construction, was viewed as an act of sacrilege committed
+against the property of the great saint.<a id='r928' /><a href='#f928' class='c009'><sup>[928]</sup></a> But the Church
+of St. George Mangana, we have found, lay a short distance to
+the west of the Church of St. Saviour,<a id='r929' /><a href='#f929' class='c009'><sup>[929]</sup></a> near the site of Indjili
+Kiosk. Consequently the remains of a palace near that kiosk
+must be those of the Palace of Mangana. This conclusion
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_256'>256</span>agrees, furthermore, with the fact that the Mangana, which gave
+name to the palace, was in this vicinity.<a id='r930' /><a href='#f930' class='c009'><sup>[930]</sup></a> It is also consistent
+with the circumstance that the Palace of Mangana was noted
+for its coolness,<a id='r931' /><a href='#f931' class='c009'><sup>[931]</sup></a> as would be characteristic of a residence in
+the position of Indjili Kiosk, which is exposed to the north wind
+that sweeps down the Bosporus from the Black Sea.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Thus, also, the site of the Church of St. Lazarus can be
+approximately determined. From the order in which the
+churches visited by the Deacon Zosimus<a id='r932' /><a href='#f932' class='c009'><sup>[932]</sup></a> between St. Sophia
+and St. George Mangana are mentioned, it is clear that the
+Church of St. Lazarus lay to the south of the Church of St.
+Saviour, and consequently somewhere between Indjili Kiosk and
+the Seraglio Lighthouse. The identification is important; for
+near the Church of St. Lazarus was found the tier of seats,
+known as the Topi, which marked the southern extremity of the
+walls of old Byzantium on the side of the Sea of Marmora.<a id='r933' /><a href='#f933' class='c009'><sup>[933]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Thus, also, the eastern limit of the grounds of the palace
+erected by Constantine the Great is determined. “The Triclinia
+erected by Constantine the Great,” says Codinus,<a id='r934' /><a href='#f934' class='c009'><sup>[934]</sup></a> “reached to
+that point,” <i>i.e.</i> the Topi. Furthermore, the Tzycanisterion, or
+polo-ground, attached to the Great Palace, extended, we are told,
+as far as the neighbourhood of the Church of St. Lazarus and
+the Topi.<a id='r935' /><a href='#f935' class='c009'><sup>[935]</sup></a> Dr. Paspates is therefore mistaken in making the
+palace grounds reach to within a short distance of the Seraglio
+Point.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_257'>257</span>Near the Topi likewise stood the Thermæ Arcadianæ,<a id='r936' /><a href='#f936' class='c009'><sup>[936]</sup></a> constructed
+by the Emperor Arcadius, and one of the finest ornaments
+of the capital. There, also, was a church dedicated to the Archangel
+Michael, ἐν Ἀρκαδιαναῖς.<a id='r937' /><a href='#f937' class='c009'><sup>[937]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In this neighbourhood, moreover, must have stood the Atrium
+of Justinian the Great,<a id='r938' /><a href='#f938' class='c009'><sup>[938]</sup></a> a favourite public resort towards sunset,
+when the eastern side of the city was in shade, to admire the
+magnificent display of colour then reflected on the Sea of
+Marmora and the Asiatic coast and mountains. It was built of
+white marble and adorned with statuary, among which the
+statue of the Empress Theodora, upon a pillar of porphyry, was
+specially remarkable.<a id='r939' /><a href='#f939' class='c009'><sup>[939]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Still further south of the Church of St. Saviour rose one of
+the most venerated shrines in Constantinople, the Church of the
+Theotokos Hodegetria (τῶν Ὁδηγῶν) founded by the Empress
+Pulcheria, and reconstructed by Michael III.<a id='r940' /><a href='#f940' class='c009'><sup>[940]</sup></a> It boasted of a
+Holy Well famed for marvellous cures,<a id='r941' /><a href='#f941' class='c009'><sup>[941]</sup></a> and of an Icon of the
+Virgin, attributed to St. Luke, which was regarded as the
+palladium of the city and the leader (Ὁδηγητρία) of the hosts of
+the Empire to victory. Generals on leaving the city to engage
+in war paid their devotions at this shrine, and the sacred picture
+had the first place of honour in a triumphal procession, taking
+precedence of the emperor himself.<a id='r942' /><a href='#f942' class='c009'><sup>[942]</sup></a> In view of the siege of the
+city by Branas, in the reign of Isaac Angelus, the Icon was
+carried round the fortifications;<a id='r943' /><a href='#f943' class='c009'><sup>[943]</sup></a> while in 1453 it was placed
+in the Church of the Chora, not far from the Gate of Charisius,
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_258'>258</span>to support the defence. There, upon the capture of the city,
+it was found by the Turks, and cut to pieces.<a id='r944' /><a href='#f944' class='c009'><sup>[944]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>According to the Russian pilgrims, the Church of the Hodegetria
+was situated to the south of St. George Mangana, and to
+the east of St. Sophia, on the right of the street conducting
+from the cathedral to the sea.<a id='r945' /><a href='#f945' class='c009'><sup>[945]</sup></a> These indications support the
+opinion of Dr. Mordtmann<a id='r946' /><a href='#f946' class='c009'><sup>[946]</sup></a> that the position of the church is
+marked by a neglected Hagiasma in the large vegetable garden
+at the south-eastern corner of the Seraglio grounds.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Two small gates in the city walls were respectively named
+after the two churches just mentioned, one being styled
+the Postern of St. Lazarus (τοῦ αγίου Λαζάρου πυλίς),<a id='r947' /><a href='#f947' class='c009'><sup>[947]</sup></a> the
+other the Small Gate of the Hodegetria (ἡ μίκρα πύλη τῆς
+Ὁδηγητρίας).<a id='r948' /><a href='#f948' class='c009'><sup>[948]</sup></a> They must have stood to the south of Indjili
+Kiosk; and, in fact, at the distance of some 145 paces from
+that point the marble frames of two small gateways are seen
+built in the wall. On the lintel of the one more to the south is
+a cross, and on two slabs built into the inner side of the gateway
+are the words, “Open to me the gates of righteousness, that
+entering into them I may worship the Lord.”<a id='r949' /><a href='#f949' class='c009'><sup>[949]</sup></a> Two similar
+gates are seen still further south, one on either side of the second
+tower beyond Indjili Kiosk. These four entrances must have
+belonged to some of the numerous churches which were situated,
+according to the Russian pilgrims, in this part of the city. One
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_259'>259</span>of them, doubtless, represents the Postern of St. Lazarus, while
+another may claim to be the Small Gate of the Hodegetria.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Postern of St. Lazarus is mentioned in history on the
+occasion of the sudden appearance, in 1269, of seventy-five
+Venetian galleys in the offing.<a id='r950' /><a href='#f950' class='c009'><sup>[950]</sup></a> As soon as the fleet was sighted,
+all the gates of the city were closed, with the exception of this
+postern; and from it envoys were despatched in a boat to
+ascertain the object of the expedition. The public anxiety
+was relieved, when it was found that the Venetians had come
+to settle disputes with the Genoese at Galata and not to molest
+the capital.</p>

+<p class='c008'>According to Ducas<a id='r951' /><a href='#f951' class='c009'><sup>[951]</sup></a> it was through the Gate of the Hodegetria
+that John VI. Palæologus penetrated, in 1355, into the
+city to overthrow John Cantacuzene. The voyage of the
+conspirators from Tenedos had been accomplished in rough
+weather; and it was dark and stormy when they arrived before
+Constantinople. As their force consisted of but two galleys,
+with 2000 men, the assailants could hope to enter the city only by
+stratagem. Approaching, therefore, the Gate of the Hodegetria,
+they proceeded to hurl empty oil-jars against the walls, and to
+rend the air with loud cries of distress. The startled sentinels,
+imagining it was a case of shipwreck, and touched by appeals to
+their humanity and by promises of a share in the rich cargo of
+oil reported to be on board the galleys, opened the gate and
+rushed to the rescue. When they discovered their mistake, it
+was too late. They were promptly overpowered and killed, and
+the Italian adventurers seized the gate, mounted the adjoining
+towers, and raised the cry in favour of Palæologus.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>It was at the Gate of the Hodegetria, probably, that Bardas,
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_260'>260</span>in 866, embarked to conduct an expedition against the Saracens
+in Crete, after invoking the aid of the Virgin Hodegetria.<a id='r952' /><a href='#f952' class='c009'><sup>[952]</sup></a>
+Here, the troops sent by Alexius III. to suppress the insurrection
+under John the Fat landed to gain the Great Palace, which the
+rebel leader was occupying.<a id='r953' /><a href='#f953' class='c009'><sup>[953]</sup></a> The gate appears in the last siege,
+as a point blockaded by the Turkish fleet which invested the
+walls along the Sea of Marmora.<a id='r954' /><a href='#f954' class='c009'><sup>[954]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the recess of the shore immediately beyond the Seraglio
+Lighthouse, where the coast bends westwards, are two gates,
+known, respectively, as Balouk Haneh Kapoussi and Ahour
+Kapoussi. The former, the Gate of the Fish House, obtained its
+name from the circumstance that it led to the quarters of the
+fishermen in the service of the Turkish Court; the latter was
+styled the Stable Gate, because it conducted to the Sultan’s
+Mews.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Patriarch Constantius<a id='r955' /><a href='#f955' class='c009'><sup>[955]</sup></a> identified Balouk Haneh Kapoussi
+with the Postern of Michael the Protovestarius, mentioned once
+in Byzantine history. That was the gate by which Constantine
+Ducas, in 913, entered the city to join the conspirators who
+sought to place him upon the throne instead of Constantine
+Porphyrogenitus, then a minor under the tutelage of his uncle and
+colleague, Alexander.<a id='r956' /><a href='#f956' class='c009'><sup>[956]</sup></a> The fact that Constantine Ducas reached
+the gate by sea without being immediately discovered, and that
+he was then able to reach the Hippodrome quickly, is in favour
+of the view that the entrance stood upon the Sea of Marmora.
+But if, as seems probable, the entrance at Balouk Haneh Kapoussi
+was within the limits of the Great Palace, it cannot be the
+Parapylis of Michael Protovestarius; for that postern did not
+conduct Ducas into the grounds of the Imperial residence, but
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_261'>261</span>to the private house of his father-in-law Gregoras, without the
+palace precincts. Possibly one of the small gates between the
+Lighthouse and Indjili Kiosk represents the postern.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The ancient name of Ahour Kapoussi is not known. The
+Patriarch Constantius,<a id='r957' /><a href='#f957' class='c009'><sup>[957]</sup></a> it is true, identifies it with the Gate of the
+Hodegetria. But the Gate of the Hodegetria was remarkable
+for its small size, and stood outside the enclosure of the Great
+Palace; whereas Ahour Kapoussi was within the palace grounds,
+and is of ordinary dimensions.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Equally erroneous is the view of Labarte<a id='r958' /><a href='#f958' class='c009'><sup>[958]</sup></a> that the recess
+in the shore at this point marks the site of the Port of the
+Bucoleon, the harbour attached to the Imperial palace. Doubtless,
+the small bay before Ahour Kapoussi, as its position implies,
+served the convenience of the Byzantine Court, but it was not
+the Port of Bucoleon strictly so called. That harbour, we shall
+find, lay further west at Tchatlady Kapou, the gate next in order.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The splendid marble stables erected by Michael III. at the
+Tzycanisterion<a id='r959' /><a href='#f959' class='c009'><sup>[959]</sup></a> were in this vicinity. May this gate not have
+been at their service? It would not be strange if the Sultan’s
+Mews were built upon the site of the Mews of his Byzantine
+predecessors.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Passing next to Tchatlady Kapou (the Broken or Cracked
+Gate), we reach the entrance attached, as already intimated, to
+the Imperial Port of the Bucoleon. Its Byzantine name has
+not been preserved, but in the time of Gyllius<a id='r960' /><a href='#f960' class='c009'><sup>[960]</sup></a> it was called the
+Gate of the Lion (Porta Leonis), after the marble figure of a
+lion near the entrance. Upon the maps of Constantinople,
+made in the sixteenth century, it is styled “Porta liona della
+riva.” Leunclavius names it the Gate of the Bears (Πόρτα
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_262'>262</span>ταῖς Ἀρκούδαις), a designation derived, doubtless, from the figures
+of bears which once adorned the adjoining quay.<a id='r961' /><a href='#f961' class='c009'><sup>[961]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Some authorities<a id='r962' /><a href='#f962' class='c009'><sup>[962]</sup></a> have identified the entrance with the Sidhera
+Porta (the Iron Gate), which stood on this side of the city. But
+this is a mistake. The Iron Gate opened on the Harbour of
+Sophia,<a id='r963' /><a href='#f963' class='c009'><sup>[963]</sup></a> and was near the Church of St. Thomas Amantiou;<a id='r964' /><a href='#f964' class='c009'><sup>[964]</sup></a>
+and both these points were to the west of Tchatlady Kapou.
+Therefore Tchatlady Kapou itself cannot have been the Iron
+Gate.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>That the Harbour of Sophia lay in that direction is unquestionable,
+for it stood at Kadriga Limani,<a id='r965' /><a href='#f965' class='c009'><sup>[965]</sup></a> which is to the
+west of Tchatlady Kapou. And that the same was true of the
+Church of St. Thomas is clear from the fact that this sanctuary
+and the Church of SS. Sergius and Bacchus marked, respectively,
+the western and eastern limits of the ravages made beside the
+Sea of Marmora, by the great fire in the reign of Leo I.<a id='r966' /><a href='#f966' class='c009'><sup>[966]</sup></a> The
+Church of St. Thomas lay, therefore, to the west of SS. Sergius
+and Bacchus, and, consequently, as the latter stands to the west
+of Tchatlady Kapou, the former, also, must have occupied a
+similar position.</p>

+as its name implies, was attached to the Harbour of Sophia. It
+was known also as the Porta Sidhera (Πόρτα Σιδηρᾶ),<a id='r973' /><a href='#f973' class='c009'><sup>[973]</sup></a> from the
+material of its construction, and after the Turkish Conquest was
+designated Porta Katerga Limani,<a id='r974' /><a href='#f974' class='c009'><sup>[974]</sup></a> the Gate of the Harbour of

+and stood at Koum Kapoussi.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Next follows the gate Yeni Kapou, in the quarter of Vlanga.
+The Latin inscription which was found over the gate<a id='r977' /><a href='#f977' class='c009'><sup>[977]</sup></a> proves it to
+have been a Byzantine entrance, but its ancient name has not been
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_264'>264</span>preserved. The gate was beside the Harbour of Theodosius,
+or Eleutherius<a id='r978' /><a href='#f978' class='c009'><sup>[978]</sup></a> (Vlanga Bostan). Its Turkish name must allude
+to repairs made after 1453.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The next gate, Daoud Pasha Kapoussi, immediately to the
+west of Vlanga Bostan, is the Gate of St. Æmilianus (ἡ Πόρτα
+τοῦ ἁγίου Αἰμιλιανοῦ),<a id='r979' /><a href='#f979' class='c009'><sup>[979]</sup></a> named so after a church of that dedication
+in the vicinity. It is identified by its situation. On the one
+hand, the Gate of St. Æmilianus was the westernmost entrance
+in the line of the Constantinian Walls beside the Sea of Marmora.<a id='r980' /><a href='#f980' class='c009'><sup>[980]</sup></a>
+It must, therefore, have been a gate to the west of the
+old harbour at Vlanga Bostan, which, under the name of the
+Harbour of Eleutherius, stood within the city of Constantine.<a id='r981' /><a href='#f981' class='c009'><sup>[981]</sup></a>
+On the other hand, it cannot have been a gate further west than
+Daoud Pasha Kapoussi, for the two gates which pierce the city
+wall in that direction can be identified with other gates, and
+were, moreover, beyond the original bounds of Constantinople.
+Near the Gate of St. Æmilianus stood the Church of St. Mary
+Rhabdou, venerated as the shrine in which the rod of Moses
+was kept.<a id='r982' /><a href='#f982' class='c009'><sup>[982]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The next gate retains its old name, Gate of Psamathia (Πόρτα
+τοῦ Ψαμαθᾶ),<a id='r983' /><a href='#f983' class='c009'><sup>[983]</sup></a> derived from the ancient quarter Psamathia (τοῦ
+Ψαμαθᾶ). The name alludes to the sand thrown up on the
+beach here, as at Koum Kapoussi (the Sand Gate).</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Narli Kapoussi (the Pomegranate Gate), the succeeding
+entrance, accommodated the quarter around the celebrated Church
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_265'>265</span>and Monastery of St. John the Baptist, known as the Studion,
+because founded, in 463, by Studius, a patrician from Rome.
+The gate is never mentioned by name, but is clearly referred
+to by Constantine Porphyrogenitus<a id='r984' /><a href='#f984' class='c009'><sup>[984]</sup></a> in his account of the
+Imperial visit paid, annually, to the Studion on the 29th of
+August, in commemoration of the martyrdom of the Baptist.
+On that occasion it was usual for the emperor to come from the
+Great Palace by water, in his state barge, and to land at this
+gate, where he was received by the abbot and monks of the
+monastery, and conducted to the services of the day.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>On the cliff outside the gate is an Armenian Chapel of St.
+John the Baptist, which Dr. Paspates<a id='r985' /><a href='#f985' class='c009'><sup>[985]</sup></a> thinks belonged originally
+to the Studion.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The excavations made in laying out the public garden beside
+the city walls west of the Gas Works at Yedi Koulè, brought to
+light substructures of an ancient edifice, in the construction of
+which bricks stamped with the monogram of Basil I. and with a
+portion of the name Diomed were employed. The ruins marked,
+undoubtedly, the site of the Church and Monastery of St. Diomed,
+upon whose steps Basil flung himself to sleep the evening he
+entered the city, a poor homeless adventurer from Macedonia,
+in search of fortune. The kindness shown to the stranger by
+the abbot of the House was never forgotten; and when Basil
+reached the throne he rebuilt the church and the monastery on a
+more extensive scale, and enriched them with ample endowments.<a id='r986' /><a href='#f986' class='c009'><sup>[986]</sup></a>
+The large number of pillars strewn upon the adjoining
+beach belonged, probably, to the church.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Somewhere in the neighbourhood was the prison, known as
+the Prison of St. Diomed. In it, Pope Martin I. was detained
+by the Emperor Constans in 654;<a id='r987' /><a href='#f987' class='c009'><sup>[987]</sup></a> and there Maria, the wife of
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_266'>266</span>Manuel Comnenus and mother of Alexius II., was confined by
+the infamous Andronicus Comnenus.<a id='r988' /><a href='#f988' class='c009'><sup>[988]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The last tower in this line of fortifications, situated on a
+small promontory commanding a wide view of the Sea of Marmora,
+is a very striking and picturesque object. It has four
+stories, and is constructed mostly of large blocks of marble. To
+it was attached a two-storied building, forming, with the tower,
+a small château or castle at this point. Only the foundations
+of the western and northern walls of the building are left,
+but the eastern wall, pierced by two tiers of small windows, and
+ornamented with string-courses, stands almost intact. The castle
+must have been the residence of some superior military officer.
+Here, some think, was the Prison of St. Diomed. In the recess
+of the shore immediately beyond the tower was a small postern
+for the use of the garrison at this point.</p>
+
+<hr class='c016' />
+
+<p class='c008'>One cannot bring this account of the Walls of Constantinople
+to a close without calling to mind, again, the splendid part they
+played in the history of the world. To them the Queen of Cities,
+as her sons loved to call her, owed her long life, and her noble
+opportunity to advance the higher welfare of mankind. How
+great her services in that respect have been, we are coming to
+recognize more clearly, through a better acquaintance with her
+achievements, and a fairer judgment upon her faults. The city
+which preserved Greek learning, maintained Roman justice,
+sounded the depths of religious thought, and gave to Art new
+forms of beauty, was no mean city, and had reason to be proud
+of her record.</p>

+<p class='c008'>But never was she so grand as in her attitude towards the
+barbarous tribes and Oriental peoples which threatened her
+existence, and sought to render European civilization impossible.
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_267'>267</span>Some of her foes—the Goths and the great Slavic race—she
+not only fought, but also gathered within the pale of civilized
+Christendom. With others, like the Huns, Persians, Saracens,

+triumphs, sometimes worsted in the struggle, always contesting
+every inch of her ground, retarding for a thousand years the day
+of her fall, perishing sword in hand, and giving Western Europe,
+meantime, scope to become worthy to take from her dying
+hands the banner of the world’s hope. This is service similar
+to that which has earned for Ancient Greece men’s eternal
+gratitude, and has made Marathon, Thermopylæ, Salamis, Platæa,
+names which will never die.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Among the monuments brought by Constantine from various
+parts of the Empire to adorn his city was the serpent column
+which had stood for eight centuries before the shrine of Delphi,
+inscribed with the names of the Greek States whose valour on
+the field of Platæa hurled the Persian out of Greece. In placing
+that column in the Hippodrome of New Rome, did he divine
+the mission of the new capital? It was Greece transferring to
+the city founded on the banks of the Bosporus the championship
+of the world’s best life. And as we look backwards upon the
+tremendous conflict between barbarism and civilization, which
+forms the very core of Byzantine history, we see that nowhere
+could that venerable monument have been placed more appropriately,
+and that if the name of the City of Constantine
+were inscribed upon it no dishonour would be cast upon the
+names already there, and only justice would be done to the
+Empire which assumed their task and emulated their renown.</p>

+</div>
+<p class='c007'>The number of harbours found, at one time or other, on the
+southern shore of the city formed one of the most striking
+features in the aspect of Byzantine Constantinople. This was
+not due to any natural facilities offered by that shore for the
+purpose. On the contrary, although the outline of the coast is
+very irregular, it presents no bay where ships may be moored
+for the convenience of commerce, or into which they can
+find refuge from storms. The waves, moreover, cast up great
+quantities of sand upon the beach. Hence, all the harbours on
+this side of the city were, to a great measure, artificial extensions
+of some indentation of the coast, and their construction and
+maintenance involved great labour and expense. They ranked,
+in fact, among the principal public works of the capital. But
+the interests of commerce with the regions around the Sea of
+Marmora and with the Mediterranean were so great, and the difficulty
+which vessels coming from those regions often found to
+make the Golden Horn, owing to the prevalence of north winds,
+was so serious as to outweigh all drawbacks or impediments,
+and secured for the accommodation of the shipping frequenting
+this side of the city no less than five harbours. These
+harbours were probably constructed in the following chronological
+order: the Harbour of Eleutherius, known also as the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_269'>269</span>Harbour of Theodosius; the Harbour of the Emperor Julian,
+known also as the New Harbour, and as the Harbour of Sophia;
+the Harbour of Kaisarius, the same probably as the Neorion
+at the Heptascalon; the Harbour of the Bucoleon; and the
+Kontoscalion. We shall consider them in the order of their
+position on the shore, proceeding from east to west.</p>

+(τὸ τοῦ παλατίου νεώριον ἑν τῷ Βουκολέοντι) for the convenience
+of the emperor, who in a city like Constantinople would have
+frequent occasion to move to and fro by water. Its name was
+derived from a marble group of a Lion and a Bull upon the

+a horn of the bull, in the act of twisting his victim’s head round
+to get at the throat.<a id='r990' /><a href='#f990' class='c009'><sup>[990]</sup></a> The harbour, partly artificial, was protected

+in keeping with its destination, displayed considerable architectural
+splendour. Its quay was paved with marble,<a id='r992' /><a href='#f992' class='c009'><sup>[992]</sup></a> and
+adorned with figures of lions, bulls, bears, and ostriches;<a id='r993' /><a href='#f993' class='c009'><sup>[993]</sup></a> a
+handsome flight of marble steps led to the water;<a id='r994' /><a href='#f994' class='c009'><sup>[994]</sup></a> and upon

+
+<p class='c008'>Strangely enough, the site of a harbour so prominent, and

+<span class='pageno' id='Page_270'>270</span>placed the harbour at a distance of 104 feet to the south of

+behind that Kiosk marked the site of the Palace of

+the shore at Ahour Kapoussi.<a id='r998' /><a href='#f998' class='c009'><sup>[998]</sup></a> Von Hammer wavered in his
+opinion, placing the harbour at one time at Tchatlady Kapou,
+and at another at Kadriga Limani.<a id='r999' /><a href='#f999' class='c009'><sup>[999]</sup></a> And yet to Von Hammer
+is due the discovery of the evidence that puts an end to all
+uncertainty on the subject, by showing us that the marble group
+of the Lion and the Bull, which gave the harbour its name, stood
+at Tchatlady Kapou.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The evidence on the subject is found in a report which
+Pietro Zen, Venetian envoy to the Turkish Court, sent to his
+Government in 1532, where he describes the monument at
+great length, as he saw it after it had been shaken by an
+earthquake. In quoting this description,<a id='r1000' /><a href='#f1000' class='c009'><sup>[1000]</sup></a> Von Hammer, however,
+not only fails to use it for the settlement of the question

+utmost importance for determining the exact site of the famous
+group. Dr. Mordtmann, citing Von Hammer, has appreciated
+the significance of the passage referred to, and employs it more

+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_271'>271</span>“At the gate at which animals are slaughtered (near the
+columns of the Hippodrome, on the road below), which in
+Turkish is named Chiachadi Capisso, which in the Frank
+language means ‘Gate of the Crack,’ outside the said water-gate,
+and beneath the three ancient windows which have a lion at
+either end (of the row); there, down beside the shore, on two
+columns, is a marble block upon which is a very large bull,
+much larger than life, attacked at the throat by a lion, which
+has mounted upon the back of the (bull’s) neck, and thrown
+him down, and strikes at a horn of the bull with great force.
+This lion is considerably larger than life, all cut out of one piece
+of stone of very fine quality. These animals used to stand with
+their heads turned towards Asia, but it seems that on that
+night (the night of the catastrophe) they turned themselves
+with their heads towards the city. When this was observed
+next morning, the whole population of the place ran together
+to the spot, full of amazement and stupefaction. And every
+one went about discoursing upon the significance of the event
+according to his own turn of mind; a comet also appearing for
+many nights.”</p>

+
+<p class='c008'>Nothing can be more explicit or more decisive.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>There is no room to doubt that the monument described by
+Zen was the group of the Lion and the Bull, described, before
+him, by Anna Comnena and Zonaras.<a id='r1004' /><a href='#f1004' class='c009'><sup>[1004]</sup></a> His description might
+be a translation of the account given of the group by those

+Zen saw the monument. He indicates the site with a redundancy
+which makes misunderstanding simply impossible,
+and for which he may be pardoned, since minute particularity
+seldom distinguishes the statements of authorities on the topography
+of the city. According to the Venetian envoy, the
+monument stood on the quay outside the water-gate named
+Tchatlady Kapou, which was a gate below the Hippodrome, and
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_273'>273</span>near a slaughter-house. The group stood, he adds, beneath a row

+to a very ancient building.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>Now, the gate to which the name Tchatlady pertains is a
+matter of public notoriety, and every particular by which Zen
+marks the entrance he had in mind holds good of that gate.
+It is near the Hippodrome, and on the level ground below
+the race-course. On the western headland of the little bay
+in front of it, is an old slaughter-house, by which Leunclavius,
+likewise, identifies the gate Tchatlady Kapou, and from which
+he derived the name of the entrance;<a id='r1005' /><a href='#f1005' class='c009'><sup>[1005]</sup></a> while to the east of
+the gate stood, until recent times, a Byzantine palace, in the
+façade of which was a row of three windows, supported at either
+end by the figure of a lion. The palace is thus described by
+Leunclavius: “This gate (Tchatlady Kapou) has on one side
+of it the marble-framed windows of an ancient building or
+palace, which rests upon the city walls themselves.”<a id='r1006' /><a href='#f1006' class='c009'><sup>[1006]</sup></a> Gyllius
+refers to it in the following terms: “Below the Hippodrome
+towards the south is the Gate of the Marble Lion, which stands
+without the city among the ruins of the Palace of Leo Marcellus.
+The windows of the palace are of ancient workmanship, and
+are in the city wall.”<a id='r1007' /><a href='#f1007' class='c009'><sup>[1007]</sup></a> Choiseul-Gouffier<a id='r1008' /><a href='#f1008' class='c009'><sup>[1008]</sup></a> gives a view of the
+palace as seen in his day, and so does Canon Curtis, in his
+<i>Broken Bits of Byzantium</i>. The façade was torn down in 1871,
+and the lions have been placed at the foot of the steps
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_274'>274</span>leading to the Imperial School of Art, within the Seraglio
+enclosure.<a id='r1009' /><a href='#f1009' class='c009'><sup>[1009]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>With this evidence as regards the site of the group of the
+Lion and the Bull, it is impossible to doubt that the Harbour
+of the Bucoleon was in the little bay before Tchatlady Kapou.
+And with this conclusion every statement made by Byzantine
+writers regarding the harbour will be found to agree.</p>
+
+<div id='fig274'  class='figcenter id005'>

+<p>Ruins of the Palace of the Bucoleon.<a id='r1010' /><a href='#f1010' class='c009'><sup>[1010]</sup></a></p>
+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>That the shore of this bay was, like the Harbour of the
+Bucoleon, once richly adorned with monumental buildings, is
+manifest from the beautiful pieces of sculptured marble found
+upon its beach and in the water. Furthermore, the bay stands,
+as the Harbour of the Bucoleon stood, within easy reach of the
+site of the Great Palace. Here also are found the ruins of two
+Imperial villas, situated in the very position ascribed to the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_275'>275</span>Palaces of the Bucoleon; namely, upon the city walls, at the
+waters edge, and one of them on a lower level than the other.<a id='r1011' /><a href='#f1011' class='c009'><sup>[1011]</sup></a>
+Such correspondence goes to make the site of the Harbour of
+the Bucoleon one of the best authenticated localities in the
+topography of Byzantine Constantinople.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Here, however, a question arises. How far is this conclusion,
+regarding the site of the Harbour of the Bucoleon, compatible
+with the received opinion that the palace on the bay before
+Tchatlady Kapou was the Palace of Hormisdas, the residence
+of Justinian the Great while heir-apparent;<a id='r1012' /><a href='#f1012' class='c009'><sup>[1012]</sup></a> and that the bay
+itself was the Harbour of Hormisdas (ὁ λιμὴν τὰ Ὁρμίσδου)?<a id='r1013' /><a href='#f1013' class='c009'><sup>[1013]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the face of all the evidence we have that the Harbour
+and the Palace of the Bucoleon were in the bay to the east of
+Tchatlady Kapou, there is but one answer to the question. We
+must either abandon the view that the Harbour and the Palace
+of Hormisdas had anything to do with that bay, and maintain
+that they stood elsewhere, or we must conclude that they were
+the Harbour and the Palace of the Bucoleon, under an earlier
+designation.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Two considerations may be urged in favour of the former
+alternative. First, the Anonymus distinguishes between the
+two palaces in a way which seems to imply that they were
+different buildings. “The Palace of the Bucoleon,” he says,
+“which stands upon the fortifications, was erected by Theodosius
+the Younger;”<a id='r1014' /><a href='#f1014' class='c009'><sup>[1014]</sup></a> while of the Palace of Hormisdas he remarks:
+“The very large buildings near St. Sergius were the residence
+of Justinian when a patrician.”<a id='r1015' /><a href='#f1015' class='c009'><sup>[1015]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the second place, the Anonymus<a id='r1016' /><a href='#f1016' class='c009'><sup>[1016]</sup></a> identifies the Harbour
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_276'>276</span>of Hormisdas with that of Julian. “What is called τὰ τοῦ
+Ὁρμίσδου,” observes the former writer, “was a small harbour
+where Justinian the Great built a monastery and called it
+Sergius and Bacchus, and another church, that of the Holy
+Apostles (SS. Peter and Paul), after receiving unction at the
+foot of the seats (of the Hippodrome), because of the massacre
+in the Hippodrome. It was named the Harbour of Julian, from
+its constructor.” Codinus<a id='r1017' /><a href='#f1017' class='c009'><sup>[1017]</sup></a> also identifies the two harbours, and
+adds, that the Harbour of Julian had served for the accommodation
+of ships before the Harbour of the Sophiôn was constructed;
+that it had long been filled up; and that Justinian the Great had
+lived there before his accession to the throne. But if on the
+ground of these statements we identify the Harbour of Hormisdas
+with that of Julian, as Banduri<a id='r1018' /><a href='#f1018' class='c009'><sup>[1018]</sup></a> and Labarte<a id='r1019' /><a href='#f1019' class='c009'><sup>[1019]</sup></a> maintain, then the
+Harbour of Hormisdas was not situated in the bay to the east
+of Tchatlady Kapou, but at Kadriga Limani, the undoubted
+site of the Harbour of Julian, to the west of the gate.<a id='r1020' /><a href='#f1020' class='c009'><sup>[1020]</sup></a> The
+Palace of Hormisdas, also, must then have been in that direction.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the light, however, of all our knowledge on the subject,
+the identity of the two harbours just named cannot be maintained.
+John of Antioch,<a id='r1021' /><a href='#f1021' class='c009'><sup>[1021]</sup></a> a far more reliable authority than the Anonymus
+or Codinus, makes it perfectly clear that the Harbour of Julian
+(which he calls by its later name, the Harbour of Sophia) was
+different from any harbour in the quarter of Hormisdas. According
+to him, the troops collected by Phocas for the defence of
+the city against Heraclius occupied three positions—the Harbour
+of Kaisarius, the Harbour of Sophia, and the quarter of
+Hormisdas. At the first two points were placed the Greens,
+while the third position was held by the Blues. From this
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_277'>277</span>account of the matter it is evident that the Harbour of Julian
+was not the harbour in the quarter of Hormisdas. It is a
+corroboration of this conclusion to find that in the narrative of
+the same events, given in the <i>Paschal Chronicle</i>,<a id='r1022' /><a href='#f1022' class='c009'><sup>[1022]</sup></a> while no mention
+is made of the Harbour of Hormisdas, the Harbour of Julian
+is described as situated in another quarter, the quarter of Maurus
+(κατὰ τὰ λεγόμενα Μαύρου).</p>

+<p>Portion of the Palace of Hormisdas.<a id='r1023' /><a href='#f1023' class='c009'><sup>[1023]</sup></a></p>
+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>In favour of the alternative that the Palace and Harbour of
+Hormisdas were the Palace and Harbour of the Bucoleon under
+another name, may be urged all that goes to show that the former
+stood where the evidence furnished by Pietro Zen has obliged
+us to place the latter. The bay and palace on the east of
+Tchatlady Kapou stand close to what was unquestionably the
+district of Hormisdas; for the Church of SS. Sergius and
+Bacchus (Kutchuk Aya Sophia), a short distance to the west of
+the gate, was in that district.<a id='r1024' /><a href='#f1024' class='c009'><sup>[1024]</sup></a> It would be strange if a palace
+and harbour so near that district were not those known by
+its name.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_278'>278</span>The palace at Tchatlady Kapou answers, moreover, to the
+description which Procopius gives of the Palace of Hormisdas,
+the residence of Justinian, as near SS. Sergius and the Great
+Palace.<a id='r1025' /><a href='#f1025' class='c009'><sup>[1025]</sup></a> Its position agrees also with the statement of John
+of Ephesus that the Palace of Hormisdas was below the great
+Imperial residence.<a id='r1026' /><a href='#f1026' class='c009'><sup>[1026]</sup></a> Again, the style of the capitals and other
+pieces of marble, which have fallen from the palace at Tchatlady
+Kapou into the water, resemble the sculptured work in the
+Church of SS. Sergius and Bacchus, erected by Justinian. And
+lastly, the palace at this point was regarded as the Palace of
+Justinian when Bondelmontius visited the city in 1422. “Beyond
+Condoscali (Koum Kapoussi),” says that traveller, as he proceeds
+eastward, along the Marmora shore of the city, “was the very
+large Palace of Justinian upon the city walls” (“Ultra fuit supra
+mœnia amplissimum Justiniani Palatium”).</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>All this being the case, it seems unavoidable to conclude
+that the Palace and Harbour of Hormisdas were the Palace and
+Harbour of the Bucoleon, under an earlier name. The circumstance
+that the palaces are distinguished by the Anonymus
+presents, after all, no serious difficulty, but the reverse; for, as
+a matter of fact, there are two palatial buildings on the bay east
+of Tchatlady Kapou, at a distance of some 110 yards from
+each other, and on different levels. One of the buildings,
+probably the lower, might be the Palace of Hormisdas; the other,
+on higher ground, and nearer the gate—may be the palace to
+which the Anonymus referred as the Bucoleon.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>It is in keeping with this view of the subject to find that the
+terms “Palace of Hormisdas,” “Port of Hormisdas,” are not
+employed by Byzantine authors to designate an Imperial residence
+or harbour, after the name Bucoleon came into vogue.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The earliest writer who refers to the Harbour of the Bucoleon
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_279'>279</span>is the Emperor Constantine Porphyrogenitus,<a id='r1027' /><a href='#f1027' class='c009'><sup>[1027]</sup></a> in the tenth
+century. Later writers,<a id='r1028' /><a href='#f1028' class='c009'><sup>[1028]</sup></a> it is true, employ the name when
+speaking of events which occurred in the reign of Michael I.,
+and in that of Theophilus, in the course of the ninth century.
+But whether these writers do so because the name was
+contemporary with the events narrated, or because, when the
+historians wrote, it was the more familiar appellation for the
+scene of those events, is uncertain. Should the former supposition
+be preferred, it was early in the ninth century that the
+term “Bucoleon” first appeared.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>On the other hand, the last author who alludes to the Palace
+of Hormisdas is the historian Theophanes, who died in 818.
+The passage in which the allusion is found refers, indeed, to
+matters which transpired in the seventh century, viz. to the
+execution of a certain David, Chartophylax of (the Palace of)
+Hormisdas, in the reign of Phocas. But the historian could
+hardly have described an official position in terms not still
+familiar to his readers.<a id='r1029' /><a href='#f1029' class='c009'><sup>[1029]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Accordingly, the designation “Palace of Hormisdas” disappears
+about the time when the term “Bucoleon” appears,
+and this is consistent with the supposition that the two names
+denoted the same building at different periods of its history.<a id='r1030' /><a href='#f1030' class='c009'><sup>[1030]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Palace of Hormisdas was so named in honour of the
+Persian Prince Hormisdas, who had been deprived of the
+succession to the throne of his country by a conspiracy of
+nobles, and confined in a tower; but who escaped from his prison
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_280'>280</span>through the ingenuity of his wife, and fled to New Rome for
+protection at the hands of Constantine the Great. The royal
+fugitive was received with the honour due to his rank, and
+this residence was assigned to him because near the emperor’s
+own palace.<a id='r1031' /><a href='#f1031' class='c009'><sup>[1031]</sup></a> Later, the residence was occupied, as already
+intimated, by Justinian while Crown Prince, with his consort
+Theodora; and after his accession to the throne, was by his
+orders, improved and annexed to the Great Palace.<a id='r1032' /><a href='#f1032' class='c009'><sup>[1032]</sup></a> It appears
+in the reign of Justin II. as the abode of Tiberius, upon
+his being appointed Cæsar.<a id='r1033' /><a href='#f1033' class='c009'><sup>[1033]</sup></a> Under ordinary circumstances,
+Tiberius should have occupied apartments in the Great Palace.
+But the Empress Sophia was bitterly jealous of his wife Ino,
+and forbade her to show herself at Court, on any pretext
+whatever. Obliged, consequently, to find a home elsewhere, the
+Cæsar selected the Palace of Hormisdas, because its proximity
+to the Great Palace would allow him to enjoy the society of his
+family, and attend to his official duties. But the jealousy of the
+empress was not to be allayed so readily. It followed Ino to
+the Palace of Hormisdas with such intensity that the ladies of
+the Court dared not visit her even there; and it compelled her
+at last to leave the capital and retire to Daphnusium.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>As already stated, when Heraclius appeared with a fleet, in 610,
+before the city to put an end to the tyranny of Phocas, he found
+the quarter of Hormisdas defended by the Faction of the Blues.<a id='r1034' /><a href='#f1034' class='c009'><sup>[1034]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>During the tenth century, the port and palace, then called
+Bucoleon, received special marks of Imperial favour. Constantine
+Porphyrogenitus, noted for his devotion to the Fine Arts,
+adorned the quay of the harbour with figures of animals, brought
+from various parts of the Empire.<a id='r1035' /><a href='#f1035' class='c009'><sup>[1035]</sup></a> Possibly, the group of the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_281'>281</span>Lion and the Bull was placed there by him. He also attached
+a fishpond to the palace.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Later, Nicephorus Phocas added a villa, which he made his
+usual place of residence.<a id='r1036' /><a href='#f1036' class='c009'><sup>[1036]</sup></a> It was probably the building with
+the row of three windows, supported by a lion at either end.
+A still more important change was introduced by the same
+emperor. His austere character, and the heavy taxes he imposed
+for the maintenance of the army, made him exceedingly unpopular,
+notwithstanding his eminent services as the conqueror of the
+Saracens. So strong did the hostile feeling against him become,
+that, returning once from a visit to the Holy Spring of the
+Pegè, he was mobbed at the Forum of Constantine, and
+narrowly escaped being stoned to death before he could reach
+the palace.<a id='r1037' /><a href='#f1037' class='c009'><sup>[1037]</sup></a> Rumours of a plot to dethrone and kill him were
+also in circulation. He therefore decided to convert the Great
+Palace into a fortress, and to provision it with everything
+requisite to withstand a siege.<a id='r1038' /><a href='#f1038' class='c009'><sup>[1038]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Accordingly, he surrounded the grounds of the Imperial
+residence with a strong and lofty wall, which described a great
+arc from the neighbourhood of Ahour Kapoussi on the east to
+Tchatlady Kapou on the west, and thus cut off the palace from
+the rest of the city.<a id='r1039' /><a href='#f1039' class='c009'><sup>[1039]</sup></a> Luitprand,<a id='r1040' /><a href='#f1040' class='c009'><sup>[1040]</sup></a> who saw the wall soon after its
+erection, says of it: “The palace at Constantinople surpasses
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_282'>282</span>in beauty and strength any fortifications that I have ever
+seen.” Within this wall the Palace of Bucoleon was, of course,
+included.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Labarte<a id='r1041' /><a href='#f1041' class='c009'><sup>[1041]</sup></a> and Schlumberger<a id='r1042' /><a href='#f1042' class='c009'><sup>[1042]</sup></a> maintain, indeed, that Nicephorus
+surrounded the Palace of Bucoleon with special works
+of defence, and constituted it a citadel within the fortifications
+of the Great Palace. But Leo Diaconus, Cedrenus
+and Zonaras, our authorities on the subject, make no such
+statement.<a id='r1043' /><a href='#f1043' class='c009'><sup>[1043]</sup></a></p>

+
+<p class='c008'>As might be expected, historical events of considerable importance
+transpired at the Port and the Palace of the Bucoleon.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Here, in 919, Romanus Lecapenus, admiral of the fleet, made
+the naval demonstration which compelled Constantine VII. Porphyrogenitus
+to accept him as a colleague, and to surrender the
+administration of affairs into his hands.<a id='r1044' /><a href='#f1044' class='c009'><sup>[1044]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_283'>283</span>It was here that the memorable conspiracy against Nicephorus
+Phocas was carried out, in 969, by John Zimisces, with
+the connivance of the Empress Theophano.<a id='r1045' /><a href='#f1045' class='c009'><sup>[1045]</sup></a> Under cover of the
+night, the conspirators embarked at Chalcedon, the residence of
+Zimisces at the time, and in the teeth of a strong north wind, and
+with snow falling heavily, crossed to the Bucoleon. A low whistle
+announced their arrival to their accomplices, who were watching
+on the terrace of the palace; and in response, a basket held
+fast by ropes was stealthily lowered and raised, again and again,
+until one by one all in the boat were lifted to the summit. The
+last to ascend was Zimisces himself. Then the traitors made
+for the apartment in which they expected to find the emperor.
+Nicephorus, who had received some intimation of the plot, was
+not in his usual chamber, and the conspirators, fearing they had
+been betrayed, were about to leap into the sea and make their
+escape, when a eunuch appeared and guided them to the room
+in which the doomed sovereign lay fast asleep on the floor, on a
+leopard’s skin, and covered with a scarlet woollen blanket. Not
+to spare their victim a single pang, they first awakened the
+slumberer, and then assailed him with their swords as he
+prayed, “Lord, have mercy upon me.” As if to add irony to the
+event, Nicephorus met his fate, it is said, on the very day on
+which the fortifications around the palace were completed.
+After this, guards were stationed, at night, on the quay of the
+Harbour of the Bucoleon, to warn off boats that approached
+the shore.<a id='r1046' /><a href='#f1046' class='c009'><sup>[1046]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>From this point, Alexius Comnenus entered the Great
+Palace, after the deposition of Nicephorus Botoniates; leaving
+his young wife and her immediate relatives in the residence
+by the shore, while he himself, with the members of his own
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_284'>284</span>family, proceeded to the higher palace (τὸ ὑπερκείμενον παλάτιον).<a id='r1047' /><a href='#f1047' class='c009'><sup>[1047]</sup></a>

+landing, says William of Tyre,<a id='r1048' /><a href='#f1048' class='c009'><sup>[1048]</sup></a> in his account of that visit,
+was reserved, as a rule, for the emperor exclusively. But it
+was granted to Amaury as a special honour, and here he was
+welcomed by the great officers of the palace, and then conducted
+through galleries and halls of wonderful variety of style, to the
+palace on an eminence, where Manuel and the great dignitaries
+of State awaited the arrival of the king.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the course of time, as the prominent position of the
+Palace and the Harbour of Bucoleon rendered natural, the name
+Bucoleon, it would appear, was extended to the whole collection
+of buildings which formed the Great Palace, facing the Sea of
+Marmora. That is certainly the sense in which Ville-Hardouin
+employs the term in his work on the Conquest of Constantinople
+by the Crusaders. He associates “le palais de Bouchelyon”
+with the Palace of Blachernæ, as one of the principal residences
+of the Greek emperors. In the division of the spoils of the city,
+the Palace of “Bouchelyon,” like the Palace of Blachernæ, was
+to belong to the prince whom the Crusaders would elect Emperor
+of Constantinople;<a id='r1049' /><a href='#f1049' class='c009'><sup>[1049]</sup></a> upon the capture of the city, the Marquis
+of Montferrat hastened to seize the Palace of Bucoleon, while
+Henry, the brother of Baldwin, secured the surrender of the
+Palace of Blachernæ;<a id='r1050' /><a href='#f1050' class='c009'><sup>[1050]</sup></a> the treasure found in the former is
+described as equal to that in the latter: “Il n’en faut pas parler;
+car il y en avait tant que c’était sans fin ni mesure.” Indeed,
+the statements of Ville-Hardouin concerning the Palace of Bucoleon
+make the impression that of the two Imperial residences
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_285'>285</span>which he names, it was, if anything, the more important.<a id='r1051' /><a href='#f1051' class='c009'><sup>[1051]</sup></a>
+Thither Murtzuphlus fled when his troops were discomfited.<a id='r1052' /><a href='#f1052' class='c009'><sup>[1052]</sup></a>
+There, the Marquis of Montferrat found congregated for safety
+most of the great ladies of the Court, including Agnes of France,
+wife of Alexius II., and Margaret of Hungary, wife of Isaac
+Angelus.<a id='r1053' /><a href='#f1053' class='c009'><sup>[1053]</sup></a> And to the Palace of Bucoleon, the richest in the
+world (“el riche palais de Bochelyon, qui onques plus riches ne fu
+veuz”), the Latin Emperor Baldwin proceeded in great state,
+after his coronation in St. Sophia, to celebrate the festivities
+attending his accession to the throne.<a id='r1054' /><a href='#f1054' class='c009'><sup>[1054]</sup></a> There, also, were held
+the festivities in honour of the marriage of the Emperor Henry
+with Agnes, the daughter of the Marquis of Montferrat.<a id='r1055' /><a href='#f1055' class='c009'><sup>[1055]</sup></a> It
+is not possible that the two comparatively small buildings at
+Tchatlady Kapou could be the palace which Ville-Hardouin
+had in mind in connection with these events. The terms he
+employs, in speaking on the subject, were appropriate only to
+the Great Palace as a whole.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The designation of the Palace of Bucoleon as “Chastel de
+Bouchelyon”<a id='r1056' /><a href='#f1056' class='c009'><sup>[1056]</sup></a> is no evidence that Ville-Hardouin used the
+name in its restricted sense, as Labarte contends. For the
+Great Palace was within a fortified enclosure, and could therefore
+be styled a castle with perfect propriety, just as the same
+historian, for a similar reason, speaks of the Palace of Blachernæ
+as a “chastel.” Nor does the fact that the Marquis of Montferrat
+reached the Palace of Bucoleon by riding along the shore
+(“chevaucha tout le long du rivage, droit vers Bouchelion”)<a id='r1057' /><a href='#f1057' class='c009'><sup>[1057]</sup></a>
+prove that the residence beside Tchatlady Kapou was the one
+he wished specially to secure. For the grounds of the Great
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_286'>286</span>Palace were thus accessible by a gate which stood at the eastern
+extremity of the Tzycanisterion, on the plain beside the Sea
+of Marmora, and which communicated with the quarter of the
+city near the head of the promontory.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Two incidents in Byzantine history, cited by Labarte<a id='r1058' /><a href='#f1058' class='c009'><sup>[1058]</sup></a>
+himself, establish the existence of such a gate, beyond contradiction.
+When Stephen and Constantine, the sons of the Emperor
+Romanus Lecapenus, deposed their father, in 944, and sent him
+to a monastery on the island of Proti,<a id='r1059' /><a href='#f1059' class='c009'><sup>[1059]</sup></a> great fears were entertained
+in the city, that a similar, if not a worse, fate had befallen
+his associate upon the throne, the popular Constantine VII.,
+Porphyrogenitus. The people, therefore, crowded about the
+palace to ascertain the truth, and were reassured that their
+favourite was safe by his appearance, with dishevelled hair,
+at the iron bars of the gate which stood at the end of the
+Tzycanisterion (“Ex ea parte qua Zucanistrii magnitudo
+portenditur, Constantinus crines solutus per cancellos caput
+exposuit.”) The existence of a gate at this point is, if possible,
+still clearer from the statement of Constantine Porphyrogenitus,<a id='r1060' /><a href='#f1060' class='c009'><sup>[1060]</sup></a>
+that the Saracen ambassadors, after their audience of the
+emperor, left the palace grounds by descending to the Tzycanisterion,
+and mounting horse there. To approach the palace by
+that entrance evinced, therefore, no particular intention on the
+part of the Marquis of Montferrat to reach the buildings to which
+the name of Bucoleon strictly belonged. On the contrary, by
+that entrance one would reach the principal apartments of the
+Great Palace, sooner than the palaces beside the group of the
+Lion and the Bull, at Tchatlady Kapou.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Bucoleon is mentioned for the last time in Byzantine
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_287'>287</span>history, in connection with the events of the final fall of the
+city. “To Peter Guliano, consul of the Catalans, was entrusted,”
+says Phrantzes,<a id='r1061' /><a href='#f1061' class='c009'><sup>[1061]</sup></a> “the defence of the quarter of the
+Bucoleon, and the districts as far as the neighbourhood of the

+<p class='c015'>The <span class='sc'>New Harbour</span><a id='r1062' /><a href='#f1062' class='c009'><sup>[1062]</sup></a> (Portus Novus), known also as the <span class='sc'>Harbour of

+<p class='c007'>About 327 yards to the west of SS. Sergius and Bacchus
+traces are found of an ancient harbour extending inland to the
+foot of the steep slope above which the Hippodrome is situated.
+The Turkish name for the locality, Kadriga Limani, “the
+Harbour of the Galleys,” is in itself an indication of the
+presence of an old harbour at that point. When Gyllius visited
+Constantinople, the port was enclosed by walls and almost filled
+in, but still contained a pool of water, in which the women of
+the district washed their clothes, and at the bottom of which,
+it was reported, submerged triremes could sometimes be seen.<a id='r1066' /><a href='#f1066' class='c009'><sup>[1066]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Here, as we shall immediately find, was the site of the
+harbour known by the three names Portus Novus, the Harbour
+of Julian, the Harbour of Sophia.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The harbour obtained its first name, when newly opened in
+the fourth century, to distinguish it from the earlier harbours of
+the city; while its other names were, respectively, bestowed in
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_289'>289</span>honour of the Emperor Julian, the constructor of the harbour,
+and of the Empress Sophia, who restored it when fallen into
+decay.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>That these three names designated the same harbour can
+be proved, most briefly and directly, by showing first the identity
+of the Portus Novus with the Harbour of Sophia, and then the
+identity of the latter with the Harbour of Julian.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The former point is established by the fact that the Portus
+Novus and the Harbour of Sophia occupied the same position;
+both were situated on the southern side of the city, and at the foot
+of the steep slope descending from the Hippodrome towards the
+Sea of Marmora.<a id='r1067' /><a href='#f1067' class='c009'><sup>[1067]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The evidence for the identity of the Harbour of Sophia with
+that of Julian rests upon express declarations to that effect.
+There is, first, the statement of Leo the Grammarian<a id='r1068' /><a href='#f1068' class='c009'><sup>[1068]</sup></a> that the
+Emperor Justin II. built the Palace of Sophia at the Harbour
+of Julian, and having cleaned the latter, changed its name to
+the Harbour of Sophia. Then, we have two passages in which
+Theophanes<a id='r1069' /><a href='#f1069' class='c009'><sup>[1069]</sup></a> takes particular care to explain that the Harbour
+of Julian went also by the name of Sophia. Furthermore, both
+names are used to designate the scene of the same events, and
+the position of the same buildings. For instance; whereas the
+<i>Paschal Chronicle</i><a id='r1070' /><a href='#f1070' class='c009'><sup>[1070]</sup></a> states that the final action in the struggle
+between Phocas and Heraclius took place in the Harbour of
+Julian, John of Antioch<a id='r1071' /><a href='#f1071' class='c009'><sup>[1071]</sup></a> and Cedrenus<a id='r1072' /><a href='#f1072' class='c009'><sup>[1072]</sup></a> say it occurred at
+the Harbour of Sophia. Again, while some authors<a id='r1073' /><a href='#f1073' class='c009'><sup>[1073]</sup></a> put the
+Residence of Probus, the district of Maurus, and the Palace of
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_290'>290</span>Sophia, beside the Harbour of Julian, others<a id='r1074' /><a href='#f1074' class='c009'><sup>[1074]</sup></a> place them beside
+the Harbour of Sophia.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>That the harbour known under these different names was at
+Kadriga Limani admits of no doubt, seeing the Portus Novus
+and the Harbour of Sophia were, as already intimated, at the
+foot of the steep ascent below the Hippodrome,<a id='r1075' /><a href='#f1075' class='c009'><sup>[1075]</sup></a> where Kadriga
+Limani is found. Or the same conclusion may be reached by
+another line of argument. The Portus Juliani (identical with the
+Portus Novus and the Harbour of Sophia) was a large harbour
+on the southern side of the city,<a id='r1076' /><a href='#f1076' class='c009'><sup>[1076]</sup></a> and close to the Church of SS.
+Sergius and Bacchus.<a id='r1077' /><a href='#f1077' class='c009'><sup>[1077]</sup></a> It could not, however, have stood to the
+east of that church, for not only are all traces of such a harbour
+wanting in that direction, but no large harbour could possibly
+have been constructed there, on account of the character of the
+coast. The Portus Juliani, therefore, lay to the west of SS.
+Sergius and Bacchus. But it could have been very near that
+church (the other indication of its site), only if at Kadriga
+Limani.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The construction of the harbour was ordered by Julian during
+his stay of ten months in Constantinople, on his way to the
+scene of war in Persia.<a id='r1078' /><a href='#f1078' class='c009'><sup>[1078]</sup></a> He likewise erected beside it, for the
+convenience of merchants and traders frequenting the harbour,
+a fine crescent-shaped portico styled, from its form, the Sigma
+(Σίγμα);<a id='r1079' /><a href='#f1079' class='c009'><sup>[1079]</sup></a> and there, also, his statue stood until 535, when it
+fell in an earthquake, and was replaced by a cross.<a id='r1080' /><a href='#f1080' class='c009'><sup>[1080]</sup></a> In promoting
+such public works, Julian was actuated not only by the
+dictates of enlightened policy, but also by the affection he
+cherished for the city of his birth.<a id='r1081' /><a href='#f1081' class='c009'><sup>[1081]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_291'>291</span>After one hundred and fifty years, the harbour was so injured
+by the accumulation of the sand thrown up on this coast
+as to call for extensive repairs; and accordingly, at the order
+of Anastasius I., it was, in 509, dredged, and protected by
+a mole.<a id='r1082' /><a href='#f1082' class='c009'><sup>[1082]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Nevertheless, further restoration was required sixty years later,
+in the reign of Justin II. The work was then executed under the
+superintendence of Narses and the Protovestarius Troilus, at the
+urgent solicitation of the Empress Sophia, whose sympathies had
+been greatly stirred by seeing, from her palace windows, ships in
+distress during a violent storm on the Sea of Marmora. It was in
+recognition of the empress’s interest in the matter that the harbour
+received her name,<a id='r1083' /><a href='#f1083' class='c009'><sup>[1083]</sup></a> and was adorned with her statue, as well as
+with the statues of Justin II., her daughter Arabia, and Narses.<a id='r1084' /><a href='#f1084' class='c009'><sup>[1084]</sup></a>
+Owing to the improvements made on the harbour at this time,
+the Marine Exchange of the city was transferred to it from the
+Neorion on the Golden Horn.<a id='r1085' /><a href='#f1085' class='c009'><sup>[1085]</sup></a> The port continued in use to
+the end of the Empire, and also for some sixty years after the
+Turkish Conquest. The entrance (now closed) was between the
+two large towers immediately to the west of SS. Sergius and
+Bacchus.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>With the harbour the following historical events are associated:
+Here the body of St. Chrysostom was landed, and placed
+for a time in the neighbouring Church of St. Thomas Amantiou,
+when brought from the land of his exile to be entombed in the
+Church of the Holy Apostles.<a id='r1086' /><a href='#f1086' class='c009'><sup>[1086]</sup></a> In the riot of the Nika, the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_292'>292</span>Residence of Probus, which stood beside the harbour, was first
+searched for arms, and then set on fire by the Factions.<a id='r1087' /><a href='#f1087' class='c009'><sup>[1087]</sup></a> Here
+Phocas placed a division of the Green Faction, to prevent the
+landing of troops from the fleet of Heraclius;<a id='r1088' /><a href='#f1088' class='c009'><sup>[1088]</sup></a> and hither the
+tyrant himself was dragged from his palace, thrown into a boat,
+and taken to Heraclius, in whose presence he was put to death.<a id='r1089' /><a href='#f1089' class='c009'><sup>[1089]</sup></a>
+Here Leontius, upon his appointment as Governor of the Theme
+of Hellas, embarked to proceed to his post; but, at the instance
+of his friends, landed to head the revolution which overthrew
+Justinian II.<a id='r1090' /><a href='#f1090' class='c009'><sup>[1090]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Several of the great fires to which Constantinople was so
+liable reached this harbour. Among them was the terrible
+conflagration in the reign of Leo the Great, which devastated
+the principal quarters of the city, from the Golden Horn
+to the Sea of Marmora.<a id='r1091' /><a href='#f1091' class='c009'><sup>[1091]</sup></a> The equally destructive fire of
+1203, which started with the burning, by the Crusaders, of
+the Saracen Mosque beside the Golden Horn, near Sirkedji
+Iskelessi, likewise swept across the city to this point.<a id='r1092' /><a href='#f1092' class='c009'><sup>[1092]</sup></a> Other
+fires of minor importance occurred here in 561, 863, 887,
+and 956.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>To the list of the noted buildings and districts near the
+Harbour of Julian, already mentioned, may be added the Residence
+of Bardas, father of Nicephorus Phocas;<a id='r1093' /><a href='#f1093' class='c009'><sup>[1093]</sup></a> the Residence of
+Isaac Sevastocrator, which was converted by Isaac Angelus into
+a khan or hostelry (Pandocheion), with accommodation for one
+hundred men and as many horses;<a id='r1094' /><a href='#f1094' class='c009'><sup>[1094]</sup></a> the Churches of St. Thekla;<a id='r1095' /><a href='#f1095' class='c009'><sup>[1095]</sup></a>
+St. Thomas, Amantiou;<a id='r1096' /><a href='#f1096' class='c009'><sup>[1096]</sup></a> the Archangel Michael, of Adda (τοῦ
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_293'>293</span>Ἀδδᾷ);<a id='r1097' /><a href='#f1097' class='c009'><sup>[1097]</sup></a> St. Julian Perdix; and St. John the Forerunner, near
+the Residence of Probus.<a id='r1098' /><a href='#f1098' class='c009'><sup>[1098]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Close to the Harbour of Sophia stood a tower known as the
+Bukanon, or the Trumpet (τὸ Βύκανον).<a id='r1099' /><a href='#f1099' class='c009'><sup>[1099]</sup></a> It was so named,
+according to the Anonymus,<a id='r1100' /><a href='#f1100' class='c009'><sup>[1100]</sup></a> both because trumpets were kept
+there, and because the tower itself, being hollow, resounded
+like a trumpet when struck by the waves. Whenever the
+Imperial fleet, the same writer adds, sailed from the city, it was
+customary for the ships to assemble before this tower and exchange
+musical salutes with it; a legend, which is probably a
+fanciful travesty of the simple fact that the tower was a station
+from which the movements of vessels were directed by trumpet
+signals.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>If the order in which the Anonymus mentions the tower,
+between the SS. Sergius and Bacchus and the Harbour of
+Sophia, indicates its actual position, the Bukanon stood on the
+eastern side of the harbour.</p>
+<h3 class='c010'>Harbour of the Kontoscalion (τὸ Κοντοσκάλιον).</h3>
+<p class='c007'>Another harbour on the Marmora side of the city was the
+Harbour of Kontoscalion.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The first reference to the Kontoscalion occurs in the
+Anonymus,<a id='r1101' /><a href='#f1101' class='c009'><sup>[1101]</sup></a> in the eleventh century, but the harbour acquired
+its greatest importance after 1261, when it was selected by
+Michael Palæologus to be the dockyard and principal station of
+the Imperial navy. Here the emperor thought his fleet could
+lie more secure from attack, and in a better position to assail an
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_294'>294</span>enemy, than in any other haven of the city. For the force of
+the current along this shore would soon oblige hostile ships
+approaching the port to beat a hasty retreat, lest they should be
+driven upon the coast, and consequently expose them, as they
+withdrew, to be taken in the rear by the Imperial vessels that
+would then sally forth in pursuit. Great labour was therefore
+expended upon the old harbour. It was dredged and deepened
+to render it more commodious; and to make it more secure, it
+was surrounded with immense blocks, closed with iron gates, and
+protected by a mole.<a id='r1102' /><a href='#f1102' class='c009'><sup>[1102]</sup></a> Subsequently, as his coat-of-arms on
+the western tower of the harbour indicated, the Kontoscalion
+was repaired by Andronicus II.<a id='r1103' /><a href='#f1103' class='c009'><sup>[1103]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>A Russian pilgrim who visited the city about 1350 has drawn
+a vivid picture of the harbour when crowded with triremes on
+account of contrary weather:—</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>“De l’Hippodrome on passe devant Cantoscopie; là est la
+superbe et très grande porte en fer à grillage de la ville. C’est
+par cette porte que la mer pénétre dans la ville. Si la mer est
+agitée, jusqu’a trois cents galères y trouvent place; ces galères
+ont les unes deux cents et les autres trois cents rames. Ces
+vaisseaux sont employés au transport des troupes. Si le vent est
+contraire, ils ne peuvent avancer, et doivent attendre le beau
+temps.”<a id='r1104' /><a href='#f1104' class='c009'><sup>[1104]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Kontoscalion is generally held to have stood in front
+of Koum Kapoussi, where the traces of an old harbour, about
+270 yards wide and some 217 yards long, are still discernible in
+an extensive mole off the shore, and in the great bend described
+by the city walls at that point to enclose an area which, at one
+time, was evidently a basin of water.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>There is scarcely any room for doubt that this view is correct.
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_295'>295</span>The adherence of the name Kontoscalion to this quarter, apparently,
+ever since the Turkish Conquest,<a id='r1105' /><a href='#f1105' class='c009'><sup>[1105]</sup></a> is in favour of the
+opinion. So, likewise, is the fact that thus it becomes intelligible
+how Pachymeres<a id='r1106' /><a href='#f1106' class='c009'><sup>[1106]</sup></a> and Bondelmontius<a id='r1107' /><a href='#f1107' class='c009'><sup>[1107]</sup></a> associate the harbour
+with Vlanga, on the one hand, while Nicephorus Gregoras<a id='r1108' /><a href='#f1108' class='c009'><sup>[1108]</sup></a>
+associates it with the Hippodrome on the other. It is also a
+corroboration of this view to find on the walls of the harbour
+the coat-of-arms of Andronicus II., who is declared, by one
+authority, to have restored the Kontoscalion.<a id='r1109' /><a href='#f1109' class='c009'><sup>[1109]</sup></a> The only objection
+to this identification is found in the difference between the
+character of the actual enclosure around the harbour at Koum
+Kapoussi and the character of the enclosure which Michael
+Palæologus placed around the Kontoscalion. The former consists
+of the ordinary walls of the city; the latter consisted, according
+to Pachymeres,<a id='r1110' /><a href='#f1110' class='c009'><sup>[1110]</sup></a> of very large blocks of stone: ὥστε γυρῶσαι μὲν
+μεγίσταις πέτραις τὸν κύκλῳ τόπον. But in reply to this objection
+it may be said, either (though not without some violence to the
+words of the historian) that the great blocks of stone referred
+to were the boulders which form the mole of the harbour; or
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_296'>296</span>that the work done under Michael Palæologus was temporary,
+and was superseded by the improvements executed in the reign
+of his son and successor Andronicus II. The objection must
+not be ignored.<a id='r1111' /><a href='#f1111' class='c009'><sup>[1111]</sup></a></p>
+<h3 class='c010'>Harbour of Eleutherius and Theodosius.</h3>
+<p class='c007'>According to the <i>Notitia</i>,<a id='r1112' /><a href='#f1112' class='c009'><sup>[1112]</sup></a> Constantinople possessed a harbour
+called Portus Theodosianus, in the Twelfth Region of the city.
+As that Region comprised within its limits the shore of the Sea
+of Marmora at the southern base of the Seventh Hill, the
+Harbour of Theodosius must have been found at Vlanga Bostan,
+where the basin of a very ancient harbour, now filled in and
+converted into market-gardens, is distinctly visible.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>There can be little doubt that this harbour was also the one
+which went by the name Harbour of Eleutherius<a id='r1113' /><a href='#f1113' class='c009'><sup>[1113]</sup></a> (ὁ λιμὴν τοῦ
+Ἐλευθερίου): for the district of Eleutherius, and the palace of that
+name,<a id='r1114' /><a href='#f1114' class='c009'><sup>[1114]</sup></a> were situated in the valley leading from Vlanga Bostan
+to Ak Serai, and the Et Meidan. The harbour at Vlanga Bostan,
+moreover, corresponds to the description given of the Harbour
+of Eleutherius by the Anonymus,<a id='r1115' /><a href='#f1115' class='c009'><sup>[1115]</sup></a> who speaks of it as a very
+ancient harbour, situated to the west of that of Sophia, and
+abandoned long before his time.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>If this be so, then the name Harbour of Eleutherius was its
+earlier designation, and the port itself was the oldest on the
+side of the city towards the Sea of Marmora, its construction
+being ascribed to a certain Eleutherius, who was present at
+the foundation of Constantinople.<a id='r1116' /><a href='#f1116' class='c009'><sup>[1116]</sup></a> Its antiquity is supported
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_297'>297</span>by the aspect of its remains, for the walls enclosing it on the

+
+<p class='c008'>From the fact that the harbour was called Portus Theodosianus,
+it is evident that it was improved by Theodosius I.,
+to whom the city owed so many public works.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_298'>298</span>When precisely the harbour was filled in is a question not
+easily settled. The Anonymus declares, indeed, that this was
+done in the reign of Theodosius I., with the earth excavated in
+laying the foundations of the column of that emperor in the
+Forum of Taurus.<a id='r1119' /><a href='#f1119' class='c009'><sup>[1119]</sup></a> But, had that been the case, the <i>Notitia</i>
+would scarcely have mentioned an abandoned harbour among
+the objects for which the Twelfth Region of the city was remarkable.
+What is certain is that the harbour was destroyed
+some time before the eleventh century; probably because the
+earth brought by the stream of the Lycus, which flows into
+the harbour, and the sand cast up by the sea, proved too
+troublesome for the maintenance of a sufficient depth of
+water.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The harbour measured 786 yards from east to west and 218
+yards from south to north. Along its southern side, as well as
+along a portion of its side towards the east, it was protected by
+a mole twelve feet thick, carefully constructed of masonry, and
+extending from the Gate of St. Æmilianus (Daoud Pasha Kapoussi)
+eastwards for about 436 yards, and then northwards
+for 327 yards more.<a id='r1120' /><a href='#f1120' class='c009'><sup>[1120]</sup></a> Upon the greater portion of the mole,
+walls were constructed for the military defence of the
+harbour.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The entrance was at the north-eastern end, between the
+head of the mole and the site of the Gate Yeni Kapou, the
+opening through which the Roumelian Railway now runs, and
+was guarded by a tower built at a short distance out in

+<h3 class='c010'>The Harbour of Kaisarius and the Neorion at the Heptascalon.</h3>
+<p class='c007'>Before concluding this account of the city harbours on the
+Sea of Marmora, a point of some importance remains to be
+settled.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Byzantine historians speak of the Harbour of Kaisarius, and
+of the Neorion at the Heptascalon, on the southern shore of the
+city. Now, as traces of an additional harbour to those already
+mentioned, on this side of the city, may be disputed, the question
+presents itself: Have the Harbour of Kaisarius and the Neorion
+at the Heptascalon disappeared, or were they one or other of
+the harbours already identified?</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Harbour of Kaisarius (Λιμὴν τοῦ Καισαρείου) is mentioned
+for the first time in the Acts of the Fifth General Council of
+Constantinople,<a id='r1136' /><a href='#f1136' class='c009'><sup>[1136]</sup></a> held in 553, under Justinian the Great. Near
+it, we are there informed, stood the Residence of Germanus:
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_302'>302</span>“In domo Germani, prope portum Cæsarii.” The harbour is
+mentioned for the last time by Cedrenus,<a id='r1137' /><a href='#f1137' class='c009'><sup>[1137]</sup></a> in what is manifestly
+a quotation from Theophanes.<a id='r1138' /><a href='#f1138' class='c009'><sup>[1138]</sup></a> Beside it stood a district,<a id='r1139' /><a href='#f1139' class='c009'><sup>[1139]</sup></a>
+and a palace,<a id='r1140' /><a href='#f1140' class='c009'><sup>[1140]</sup></a> known respectively as the District and the Palace
+of Kaisarius (ἐν τοῖς Καισαρείου: κυράτωρ τῶν Καισαρείου); the
+latter being probably the residence of Germanus above mentioned.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>After whom the harbour was named is uncertain. Du Cange<a id='r1141' /><a href='#f1141' class='c009'><sup>[1141]</sup></a>
+suggests three persons from whom the designation may have
+been derived: Kaisarius, Prefect of the City under Valentinian;
+Kaisarius, Prætorian Prefect under Theodosius I.; and Kaisarius,
+a personage of some note in the reign of Leo I. If the choice
+lies between these persons, the preference must be given to the
+last; for the <i>Notitia</i>, which describes the city in the reign of
+Theodosius II., makes no mention of this harbour. In all
+probability, therefore, the Harbour of Kaisarius was constructed
+towards the close of the fifth century.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>That it stood on the Sea of Marmora is evident; first, from
+its association with the Harbours of Julian and of Hormisdas, as
+one of the points at which the tyrant Phocas placed troops to
+prevent the landing of Heraclius on the southern side of the
+city;<a id='r1142' /><a href='#f1142' class='c009'><sup>[1142]</sup></a> and secondly, from the fact that it was there that Constantine
+Pogonatus, in 673, placed his ships, armed with the
+newly invented tubes for squirting Greek fire, to await the
+Saracen fleet coming up against the city from the Ægean.<a id='r1143' /><a href='#f1143' class='c009'><sup>[1143]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Passing next to the Neorion at the Heptascalon, we find that
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_303'>303</span>the term “Heptascalon” is employed by Byzantine writers only
+in two connections: first, and then generally in the corrupt form
+Πασχάλῳ or Πασκάλῳ, it serves to mark the site of a church
+dedicated to St. Acacius; the earliest writer who uses it for that
+purpose being Constantine Porphyrogenitus,<a id='r1144' /><a href='#f1144' class='c009'><sup>[1144]</sup></a> in his biography of
+Basil I., by whom the church was restored: secondly, Cantacuzene<a id='r1145' /><a href='#f1145' class='c009'><sup>[1145]</sup></a>
+employs the phrase to indicate the situation of the harbour
+now under discussion.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In 1351 Cantacuzene<a id='r1146' /><a href='#f1146' class='c009'><sup>[1146]</sup></a> found the harbour in a very unsatisfactory
+condition. Owing to the sand which had accumulated in
+it for many years, it could hardly float a ship laden with cargo;
+and accordingly, in pursuance of his policy to develop the naval
+resources of the Empire, he caused the harbour to be dredged at
+much labour and expense, to the great convenience of public
+business. So extensive was the work of restoration that in one
+passage the harbour is styled the New Neorion.<a id='r1147' /><a href='#f1147' class='c009'><sup>[1147]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Du Cange,<a id='r1148' /><a href='#f1148' class='c009'><sup>[1148]</sup></a> misled by the fact that a Church of St. Acacius was
+found in the Tenth Region—one of the Regions on the northern
+side of the city—has classed the Neorion at the Heptascalon
+among the harbours on the Golden Horn. But to identify a site
+in Byzantine Constantinople by means of a church alone is a
+precarious proceeding, for churches of the same dedication were
+to be found in different quarters of the city. This, Du Cange<a id='r1149' /><a href='#f1149' class='c009'><sup>[1149]</sup></a>
+himself admits, was possible in the case before us; since, besides
+the Church of St. Acacius at the Heptascalon, writers speak of a
+Church of St. Acacius ad Caream (Ἐν τῇ Καρύᾳ), and the identity
+of the two sanctuaries cannot be assumed. But the existence of
+a second church dedicated to St. Acacius is not a mere possibility.
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_304'>304</span>According to Antony of Novgorod,<a id='r1150' /><a href='#f1150' class='c009'><sup>[1150]</sup></a> there was a church of that
+dedication also on the southern side of the city, not far
+from the Church of SS. Sergius and Bacchus. The Neorion
+at the Heptascalon may, therefore, have been on the Sea of
+Marmora.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>And that it was there, as a matter of fact, is evident from
+the statements made regarding that harbour by Cantacuzene and
+Nicephorus Gregoras, in their account of the naval engagement
+fought in the Bosporus in 1351, between a Genoese fleet on the
+one hand, and the Greeks, supported by Venetian and Spanish
+ships, on the other.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Upon coming up from the Ægean to take part in the war,
+the Venetians and the Spaniards, says the former historian,<a id='r1151' /><a href='#f1151' class='c009'><sup>[1151]</sup></a>
+anchored off the Prince’s Island, to rest their crews after the
+hardships of the winter. There they remained three days.
+Then, quitting their moorings, the two allies made for the
+Neorion at the Heptascalon, or, as it is also styled, the Neorion
+of the Byzantines (τὸ Βυζαντίων νεώριον),<a id='r1152' /><a href='#f1152' class='c009'><sup>[1152]</sup></a> to join the Imperial
+fleet which was stationed there, all ready for action, and awaiting
+their arrival. Meanwhile, the Genoese admiral, with seventy ships,
+had taken up his position at Chalcedon (Kadikeui), to watch and
+oppose the movements of the allied squadrons. The wind was
+blowing a gale from the south, and though the Venetians and
+Spaniards had started for the Heptascalon very early in the
+morning, it was with the utmost difficulty, and late in the afternoon,
+that they succeeded in crossing from the island to the city.
+Even at the last moment they narrowly escaped destruction, by
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_305'>305</span>being dashed to pieces against the boulders scattered along the
+foot of the walls as a breakwater.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Byzantine admiral, encouraged by the arrival of his allies,
+then sallied forth from the Heptascalon, and led the way towards
+the Genoese ships at Chalcedon. The latter, finding it impossible
+to make head against the wind, retired towards Galata, and
+skilfully entrenched themselves among the shoals and rocks
+off Beshiktash, preferring to be attacked in that advantageous
+situation.<a id='r1153' /><a href='#f1153' class='c009'><sup>[1153]</sup></a> The allies came on, and a desperate conflict, partly
+on the water, partly on the rocks, ensued, until night parted the
+combatants without a decisive victory on either side.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>With this narrative of Cantacuzene in view, no one familiar
+with the vicinity of Constantinople can doubt for a moment that
+the Neorion at the Heptascalon was upon the Sea of Marmora.
+The single circumstance that the walls in the neighbourhood of
+the harbour were protected by boulders placed in the sea as a
+breakwater is alone sufficient to prove the fact; for only the walls
+bordering the Sea of Marmora were defended in that manner.
+Equally conclusive is the circumstance that the Venetian and
+Spanish ships found it difficult to make the harbour from the
+Prince’s Island with a strong south wind on their left. Such
+a wind would drive them towards the Bosporus with a violence
+that would render it almost impossible for them to put into any
+port on the Marmora shore of the city. Nor is it less decisive
+to find, as the historian’s account makes perfectly clear, that the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_306'>306</span>harbour was so situated; that the approach to it, and possible
+shipwrecks at its entrance, could be observed by the Genoese
+admiral stationed off Chalcedon; that an enemy at Chalcedon
+found it hard to advance towards the Heptascalon in a strong
+south wind; and that vessels proceeding from the harbour to
+Galata could, on the way, touch at Chalcedon. These facts hold
+true only of a harbour on the Sea of Marmora.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>This conclusion, based on the narrative of Cantacuzene, is
+corroborated by the indications which Nicephorus Gregoras<a id='r1154' /><a href='#f1154' class='c009'><sup>[1154]</sup></a>
+furnishes regarding the site of the Neorion. The events which
+transpired, according to the former historian, at the Neorion at
+the Heptascalon, or the Neorion of the Byzantines, took place,
+according to the latter, in the Harbour of the Byzantines, or,
+more definitely, “the Harbour of the Byzantines facing the east”
+(τοῦ τῶν Βυζαντίων λιμένος, τοῦ πρὸς ἒω βλέποντος).<a id='r1155' /><a href='#f1155' class='c009'><sup>[1155]</sup></a> That the
+expression “facing the east” denoted the shore of the city facing
+the Sea of Marmora and the Asiatic coast is manifest, from the
+use which Nicephorus Gregoras makes of that expression in
+other passages of his work. The Golden Gate, which stands
+near the Sea of Marmora, on what would generally be described
+as the southern shore of the city, stood, according to him, near
+the city’s <i>eastern</i> shore.<a id='r1156' /><a href='#f1156' class='c009'><sup>[1156]</sup></a> Again, the gale from the south, which
+damaged the city fortifications along the Sea of Marmora in the
+year 1341, assailed, he says, the <i>eastern</i> walls of the capital.<a id='r1157' /><a href='#f1157' class='c009'><sup>[1157]</sup></a>
+This way of speaking, if not strictly accurate, is justified by
+the fact that extensive portions of the city beside the Sea of
+Marmora face east or south-east.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Nor is this all. The harbour in question, adds Nicephorus
+Gregoras,<a id='r1158' /><a href='#f1158' class='c009'><sup>[1158]</sup></a> stood where the walls of the city were protected by
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_307'>307</span>boulders; ships issuing from it, in a south wind, could readily
+make the Bosporus;<a id='r1159' /><a href='#f1159' class='c009'><sup>[1159]</sup></a> while ships proceeding from the Bosporus
+to the harbour passed Chalcedon on the left, and could be
+watched from Chalcedon, upon their arrival at their destination.<a id='r1160' /><a href='#f1160' class='c009'><sup>[1160]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Such facts, we repeat, hold good only of a harbour situated
+on the shore of the city beside the Sea of Marmora.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>It being thus proved that the Harbour of Kaisarius and the
+Neorion at the Heptascalon were situated on the Marmora
+side of the city, we return to the question, whether they have
+disappeared, or were different names for one or other of the
+harbours already identified.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>So far as room for harbours additional to those already
+identified is concerned, such room could be found only in the
+level ground at the foot of the Third Hill, extending from the
+Kontoscalion at Koum Kapoussi to the Harbour of Theodosius
+at Vlanga, points some 910 yards apart. An additional harbour
+elsewhere was impossible, owing to the character of the coast.
+Accordingly, if the Harbour of Kaisarius and the Neorion at
+the Heptascalon cannot be identified with one or other of the
+well-known harbours on the Sea of Marmora, they must have
+been situated between Koum Kapoussi and Vlanga.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>So far as the Harbour of Kaisarius is concerned, it could
+not have been another name for the Harbour of the Bucoleon,
+or the Harbour of Julian and Sophia, or the Harbour of the
+Golden Gate. For, as John of Antioch<a id='r1161' /><a href='#f1161' class='c009'><sup>[1161]</sup></a> makes perfectly clear
+in his account of the defence of the city by Phocas against
+Heraclius, the Harbour of Kaisarius was situated in the same
+general district as the two former harbours, and to the west
+of them. Nor can the Harbour of Kaisarius be identified
+with the Harbour of Theodosius, inasmuch as the latter had
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_308'>308</span>been filled in and abandoned<a id='r1162' /><a href='#f1162' class='c009'><sup>[1162]</sup></a> before the reigns of Phocas and
+Constantine IV., in the seventh century, when the Harbour of
+Kaisarius was still one of the principal ports on the southern
+coast of the city.<a id='r1163' /><a href='#f1163' class='c009'><sup>[1163]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Harbour of Kaisarius must, therefore, have been either
+the Kontoscalion, at Koum Kapoussi, or another harbour between
+that gate and Vlanga. To suppose that it was the Kontoscalion,
+under an earlier name, is possible, since the name Kontoscalion,
+we have seen,<a id='r1164' /><a href='#f1164' class='c009'><sup>[1164]</sup></a> appears for the first time in the eleventh century.
+Still the circumstance that a fire which started beside the
+Harbour of Kaisarius extended to the Forum of the Ox (ἕως τοῦ
+Βοός),<a id='r1165' /><a href='#f1165' class='c009'><sup>[1165]</sup></a> situated at Ak Serai far up the valley that runs northwards
+from Yeni Kapou, suggests a situation nearer Vlanga.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Turning, next, to the Neorion at the Heptascalon, it could,
+obviously, not be the Harbour of the Bucoleon, attached to the
+Imperial Palace; nor the Harbour of the Golden Gate, which
+was beyond the city limits; nor the Harbour of Theodosius,
+which had been filled in long before the reign of Cantacuzene,
+and which in 1400 and 1422, dates respectively not fifty and
+seventy years after that emperor’s reign, is described as a garden.<a id='r1166' /><a href='#f1166' class='c009'><sup>[1166]</sup></a>
+The Neorion at the Heptascalon, therefore, must have been
+either the Harbour of Julian and Sophia, or the Kontoscalion,
+or an additional harbour between Koum Kapoussi and Vlanga.
+One objection to the first supposition is that the Harbour of
+Julian and Sophia was so notoriously known under its own
+special name, that reference to it by another designation is extremely
+improbable. Another objection is that the indications
+respecting the site of St. Acacius at the Heptascalon, however
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_309'>309</span>vague their character, furnish no ground for believing that the
+church stood in the vicinity of the Harbour of Julian and Sophia,
+but support, rather, the opinion that it stood in the neighbourhood
+of Boudroum Djamissi, in the quarter of Laleli Hamam,
+situated to the north-west of Koum Kapoussi.<a id='r1167' /><a href='#f1167' class='c009'><sup>[1167]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The supposition that the Neorion at the Heptascalon was the
+same as the Kontoscalion is open to objections equally, if not
+more, serious. The identity of the two harbours is inconsistent
+with the fact that the two names occur in the writings of the
+same author, Cantacuzene,<a id='r1168' /><a href='#f1168' class='c009'><sup>[1168]</sup></a> in the same section of his work,
+in passages not widely separated and treating of kindred
+matters, without the slightest hint that under the different
+names he refers to the same thing. The natural impression
+made by the use of the two names in such a way is that they
+denote different things. Then, there is an opposition between
+the respective meanings of the two names, which makes their
+application to the same object incompatible; a harbour distinguished
+by a short pier cannot also be a harbour distinguished
+by seven piers. In the next place, the different accounts which
+Cantacuzene gives of the condition of the two harbours in his
+reign imply that he is not speaking of the same port. He refers
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_310'>310</span>to the Kontoscalion,<a id='r1169' /><a href='#f1169' class='c009'><sup>[1169]</sup></a> in 1348, without a note of disparagement,
+as a harbour in which he constructed several large triremes for
+the increase of his fleet; while he describes the Neorion at the
+Heptascalon,<a id='r1170' /><a href='#f1170' class='c009'><sup>[1170]</sup></a> only three years later, as a harbour which had
+long been neglected, which was full of silt, and which he restored
+at great expense, for the public advantage, on a scale which
+entitled it to be styled the New Neorion.<a id='r1171' /><a href='#f1171' class='c009'><sup>[1171]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>And just as all that Cantacuzene states regarding the two
+harbours implies that they were different, so does the language
+of Nicephorus Gregoras. When the latter writer alludes to the
+Kontoscalion, he describes it as the harbour near the Hippodrome;<a id='r1172' /><a href='#f1172' class='c009'><sup>[1172]</sup></a>
+when he alludes to the Neorion at the Heptascalon, he
+describes it as the harbour facing the east.<a id='r1173' /><a href='#f1173' class='c009'><sup>[1173]</sup></a> Different marks are
+generally employed to distinguish different objects.<a id='r1174' /><a href='#f1174' class='c009'><sup>[1174]</sup></a> This being
+so, the unavoidable conclusion is that the Neorion at the Heptascalon
+was a harbour situated between Koum Kapoussi and Yeni
+Kapou, the only possible situation for an additional harbour.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>We should feel obliged to insist upon this conclusion, even
+in the absence of any remains of a harbour in the situation
+indicated. Our task, however, is not so arduous; for manifest
+traces of such a harbour have been identified. In the first
+place, traces of a harbour in the district above mentioned came
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_311'>311</span>to view in 1819, and were then officially noted by so competent
+an authority as the Patriarch Constantius.<a id='r1175' /><a href='#f1175' class='c009'><sup>[1175]</sup></a> In that year a
+great fire burned down a large part of the Turkish quarter near
+Yeni Kapou—Tulbenkdji Djamissi—and brought to light a portion
+of an ancient circular enclosure around that quarter. The
+discovery excited considerable attention, and the patriarch was
+specially instructed by the Turkish Government of the day to
+examine the wall and report the result of his investigations.
+Accompanied by two distinguished members of the Greek community,
+the prelate proceeded to the scene of the conflagration,
+and found a wall built of huge blocks of stone, about seven feet
+long, four and a half feet wide, and over a foot thick. The stones
+were carefully hewn and placed in three tiers; the blocks in the
+two lower tiers being the ordinary limestone found on the banks
+of the Bosporus, while the blocks in the highest row were of
+marble from the Island of Marmora. The territory enclosed by
+the wall presented the appearance of a great hollow which had
+been filled in, since the Turkish Conquest, and raised to afford
+ground for building. All that the patriarch saw convinced him
+that he stood upon the site of one of the ancient harbours of
+the city. The wall has disappeared, as the excellent building
+material it provided rendered natural. But other remains of a
+harbour at this point, the complement of those discovered by the
+patriarch, have been recognized, and can, to some extent, be
+still distinguished.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Off the shore in front of the territory enclosed by the wall
+described above is a mole formed with boulders (marked
+“Molotrümmer” on Stolpe’s map of the city), similar to the
+mole before the old harbour at Koum Kapoussi. At a point
+about half-way between Koum Kapoussi and Yeni Kapou,
+there is a wide gap in this mole, dividing it in two unequal
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_312'>312</span>parts, and forming a passage through it. The shore<a id='r1176' /><a href='#f1176' class='c009'><sup>[1176]</sup></a> opposite
+the gap was, until the construction of a quay in 1870 for the
+Roumelian railroad, a sandy beach extending back to the foot
+of the city walls. The portion of the walls at the rear of the
+beach was, however, not Byzantine; but a piece of Turkish
+work<a id='r1177' /><a href='#f1177' class='c009'><sup>[1177]</sup></a> inserted between the Byzantine walls on either hand to
+close an opening which gave admittance to the area occupied by
+the quarter of Tulbenkdji Djamissi.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Here, accordingly, we have traces of all that constitutes a
+harbour: its mole, its entrance, its basin and enclosure, indicating
+where the Neorion at the Heptascalon, which the language
+of Cantacuzene and Nicephorus Gregoras obliges us to
+distinguish from the Kontoscalion, was probably situated. At
+this point, it seems reasonable to think, stood also the Harbour
+of Kaisarius, if we may judge from the circumstance that a fire
+which originated at that harbour extended up the valley from
+Vlanga to Ak Serai.<a id='r1178' /><a href='#f1178' class='c009'><sup>[1178]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the opinion of the Patriarch Constantius,<a id='r1179' /><a href='#f1179' class='c009'><sup>[1179]</sup></a> indeed, the
+harbour discovered in 1819 was the Kontoscalion. The statement
+of Pachymeres<a id='r1180' /><a href='#f1180' class='c009'><sup>[1180]</sup></a> and Bondelmontius,<a id='r1181' /><a href='#f1181' class='c009'><sup>[1181]</sup></a> that the Kontoscalion
+was near Vlanga, cannot, perhaps, be held to lend much
+countenance to this supposition, for in view of the short distance
+between Vlanga and Koum Kapoussi, the Kontoscalion might
+be thus described, although situated in front of the latter. But
+what presents a most serious consideration in favour of the
+patriarch’s opinion is the fact that the wall which he examined
+answered exactly to the description of the wall with which
+Michael Palæologus enclosed the Kontoscalion.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_313'>313</span>That emperor, according to Pachymeres,<a id='r1182' /><a href='#f1182' class='c009'><sup>[1182]</sup></a> surrounded the
+Kontoscalion with very large stones; and closed the entrance
+in the stones with iron gates (Ὥστε γυρῶσαι μὲν μεγίσταις πέτραις
+τὸν κύκλῳ τόπον, ... πύλας δ᾽ ἐπιθεῖναι ἀραρυίας ἐκ σιδήρου τῇ
+ἐν ταῖς πέτραις εἰσίθμη ἔξωθεν).</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>No language could describe better the enclosure of large
+blocks discovered in 1819; while the expression “the entrance
+in the stones” applies admirably to the gap in the mole which
+protected the harbour. Nothing of the kind is found at the
+harbour before Koum Kapoussi, which lay within a mole and
+a great curve of the ordinary city walls. This, it must be
+admitted, is an exceedingly strong argument in support of the
+patriarch’s contention. On the other hand, we have seen how
+strong also are the arguments in favour of the view that the
+Kontoscalion stood at Koum Kapoussi.<a id='r1183' /><a href='#f1183' class='c009'><sup>[1183]</sup></a> Perhaps the solution
+of the difficulty is found in the supposition that while the name
+Kontoscalion strictly belonged to the harbour at Koum Kapoussi,
+it was sometimes applied also to other harbours in the vicinity,
+because the name of the most important member of the group.</p>
+<h3 class='c010'>Note on the Locality where the Ancient Harbour Wall, discovered in 1819, was found.</h3>
+<p class='c015'>The Patriarch Constantius, our sole informant on the subject, refers to this
+discovery twice; first, in his work on <i>Ancient and Modern Constantinople</i> (Κωνσταντινιὰς
+Παλαιὰ τε καὶ Νεωτέρα), published in 1844; secondly, in a letter, dated
+April 12, 1852, which is found in the collection of his minor works (Συγγραφαὶ
+αἱ Ἐλάσσωνες), and which was addressed to Mr. Scarlatus Byzantius, upon the
+publication of that gentleman’s work on the history and antiquities of the city. In
+that letter the patriarch corrects several mistakes made in his own work on the same
+subject, and gives additional information on other points.</p>
+
+<p class='c005'>The earlier reference to the discovery is brief, and when viewed in the light of the
+later statements, altogether misleading. It occurs in the paragraph upon Koum
+Kapoussi, the ancient Gate of Kontoscalion (English translation, p. 21; Greek
+original, p. 30). After expressing the opinion that the Neorion of the Kontoscalion
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_314'>314</span>stood at that gate, and quoting the description which Pachymeres gives of the wall
+around the harbour, the reverend author adds: “A portion of this circular enclosure
+appeared in 1819, consisting of three layers of very large stones placed one upon the
+other” (Ἕν μέρος δὲ τούτου τοῦ κυκλικοῦ περιφράγματος τοῦ λιμένος ἀνεφάνη
+τῷ 1819 ἔτει, συνιστάμενον ἐκ τριῶν θέσεων παμμεγίστων ἀλλεπαλλήλων
+πετρῶν).</p>
+
+<p class='c005'>There can be but one meaning to this language, namely, that the enclosure
+referred to stood beside the harbour at Koum Kapoussi. But the difficulty with
+this language has always been how to make it coincide with the facts in the case.
+For, as already intimated, the enclosure around the harbour at Koum Kapoussi is
+almost intact, and consists of the ordinary walls of the city at their usual elevation.
+There has never been room at that point for another enclosure such as the patriarch
+describes. But his later, and, fortunately, fuller statements (Συγγραφαὶ αἱ
+Ἐλάσσωνες, pp. 443, 444) make the matter clear, although, at the same time, they
+convict the patriarch of inaccuracy in his first statement, so far as the locality of the
+discovery is concerned. According to the patriarch’s letter, the locality in question
+was not at Koum Kapoussi, but between that gate and the gate Yeni Kapou of
+Vlanga, and nearer to the latter entrance than to the former. This fact is confirmed
+by the additional indication that the discovery was made in a Turkish
+quarter; for the only Turkish quarter near the shore between Kadriga Limani, on
+the east of Koum Kapoussi, and Daoud Pasha Kapoussi, on the west of Vlanga, is
+the quarter of Tulbenkdji Djamissi near Yeni Kapou. But to render all doubt as
+to the situation of the locality impossible, the route taken to reach it is minutely
+described; the patriarch and his friends passed first through Kadriga Limani and
+the parishes of St. Kyriakè and St. Elpis; then they went beyond Koum Kapoussi
+itself, and, keeping within the line of the walls, proceeded to the neighbourhood
+of the gate of Yeni Kapou at Vlanga, where the wall had come to light. These
+particulars are, indeed, at variance with the statement found in <i>Ancient and Modern
+Constantinople</i>, but as they constitute the patriarch’s clearest and fullest declarations
+on the point at issue, and are made in a letter correcting mistakes in his former work,
+they have been adopted as his most authoritative statements. The subject being
+important and the patriarch’s letter but little known, the passages bearing most
+directly upon the question are here appended: Περὶ τοῦ κατὰ τὴν Προποντίδα
+λιμένος, περὶ οὗ σημειοῦμεν ἐν τῷ ἡμετέρῳ Συγγράμματι, τοῦ παρὰ Μιχαὴλ
+τοῦ Παλαιολόγου κατασκευασθέντος, αὐτὸς κεῖται ἐν τῷ μέσῳ τῆς Πύλης

+He then refers to the order received from the Government to investigate
+the discovery, and mentions the persons who accompanied him on that errand; after
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_315'>315</span>which he continues thus: Διήλθομεν δὲ τὸ Κάτεργα-λιμὰν, τὰς ἐνορίας Ἁγίας

+</div>
+<p class='c007'>The Hebdomon (τὸ Ἕβδομον, “Septimum”) was a suburb of
+Constantinople, situated on the Egnatian Road, at the distance of
+seven miles from the centre of the city. It obtained its name, as
+so many villages and towns on the great Roman highways did,<a id='r1184' /><a href='#f1184' class='c009'><sup>[1184]</sup></a>
+from the number of the milestone beside which it stood (ἐν τῷ
+Ἑβδόμῳ Μιλίῳ), and holds a noteworthy place in history on
+account of its military associations and its connection with the
+Court of Constantinople. Considerable interest attaches to it
+also on account of the discussions which the question of its site
+has occasioned.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>There can be no doubt that the Hebdomon is represented
+by the modern village of Makrikeui, situated on the shore of the
+Sea of Marmora, three miles to the west of the Golden Gate.
+But the opinion which has been generally accepted, and has had
+the greatest names in its favour, is that the suburb stood at the
+northern extremity of the Theodosian Walls, where the Palace
+of the Porphyrogenitus and the quarter of Blachernæ were
+found.</p>

+<div class='ic002'>
+<p>Map of the Territory Between the City and the Hebdomon.</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>Now, of all the mistakes committed by students of the
+topography of Byzantine Constantinople, none is so preposterous
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_317'>317</span>or inexcusable as this identification. It is a mistake made when
+to err seems impossible, for it is in direct opposition to the
+plainest and most convincing evidence that the famous suburb
+was situated elsewhere. A blind man, Valesius exclaims in his
+indignation at such a baseless opinion, might see the truth in
+the matter.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The blunder started with Gyllius, and was afterwards supported
+with all the immense learning of Du Cange. It was soon
+denounced by Valesius,<a id='r1185' /><a href='#f1185' class='c009'><sup>[1185]</sup></a> and shown to be utterly inconsistent
+with the most obvious facts in the case; but the reputation of
+the great authorities upon its side gave it a vitality which made
+it the commonly received opinion until the most recent times.
+Unger, however, contested the error, once more, in his important
+work entitled <i>Quellen der Byzantinischen Kunstgeschichte</i>,<a id='r1186' /><a href='#f1186' class='c009'><sup>[1186]</sup></a> published
+in 1878, and maintained the correct view, but without
+discussing the question at length. Schlumberger, also, in his
+monograph on the Emperor Nicephorus Phocas, has seen the
+facts in their true light.<a id='r1187' /><a href='#f1187' class='c009'><sup>[1187]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Under these circumstances one is strongly tempted to let
+the fallacies with which Gyllius and Du Cange maintained
+their views pass into oblivion, and to be satisfied with
+proving the truth on the subject. But the great authority and
+eminent services of these students of the topography of the
+city, and the tenacity with which the error they countenanced
+has held the field demand some account of the arguments which
+have been employed in support of an untenable position.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Gyllius<a id='r1188' /><a href='#f1188' class='c009'><sup>[1188]</sup></a> entered upon the discussion of the subject with the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_318'>318</span>fixed idea that no locality entitled to be regarded as a suburb
+could be seven miles distant from the city to which it belonged.
+With this conviction rooted in his mind, he found himself called
+to interpret the passage in which Sozomon relates how Theodosius
+the Great, upon leaving Constantinople for Italy to suppress
+the rebel Eugenius, stopped at the seventh mile from the city to
+invoke the Divine blessing upon the expedition, in the Church
+of St. John the Baptist which the emperor had erected at that
+point of the road.<a id='r1189' /><a href='#f1189' class='c009'><sup>[1189]</sup></a> Gyllius knew his Greek too well not to
+recognize the obvious meaning of this statement. He acknowledges
+that the passage may be understood to intimate that
+the church above mentioned stood at the seventh milestone
+from Constantinople. But while allowing that this is a possible
+meaning of the historian’s words, he contends that it cannot
+be his actual meaning, because the Hebdomon, being a suburb,
+could not be so distant from the city as seven miles. Hence
+Gyllius separates the numeral adjective “seventh” from the noun
+“mile,” and treating the former as a proper name, construes
+the passage to signify that the Church of St. John the Baptist,
+in the suburb of the Hebdomon, was one mile from the
+capital. The proposed construction is so original that it must
+be given in its author’s own words: “Theodosius egressus unum
+milliare extra Constantinopolim, in æde Divi Joannis Baptistæ,
+quam ipse construxerat in Hebdomo suburbio, a Deo
+precatus est.”</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Under the guidance of this strange interpretation of
+Sozomon’s statement, the indefatigable explorer of the ancient
+sites of Constantinople set himself to discover the precise
+locality which the Hebdomon had occupied. As the suburb
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_319'>319</span>was in existence before the erection of the Theodosian Walls,
+the specified distance of one mile had to be measured from
+the original limits of the city, viz. from the Wall of Constantine.
+This, Gyllius thought, would put the suburb somewhere
+in the neighbourhood of the Walls of Theodosius. Searching
+next for more definite indications, he found the ruins of a
+splendid church dedicated to St. John the Baptist on the Sixth
+Hill, at Bogdan Serai near Kesmè Kaya. But a church of
+St. John the Baptist, as already intimated, adorned the Hebdomon,
+and so Gyllius leaped to the conclusion that the Hebdomon
+was the district on the Sixth Hill: “Suburbium Hebdomon
+appellatum in sexto colle fuisse, qui nunc est intra urbem,
+ostendit ædes Divi Joannis Baptistæ, quam etiam nunc Græci
+vulgo vocant Prodromi.”</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Having adopted this conclusion, it only remained for Gyllius
+to explain how a suburb only one mile from the city could have
+been styled the Hebdomon. His explanation is that the extramural
+territory along the Wall of Constantine had been occupied,
+before its enclosure within the Theodosian lines, by a series of
+suburbs distinguished from one another by numerals, and that
+the Hebdomon was so named because it was the seventh suburb
+in the series. This explanation he supports by pointing to the
+undoubted fact that one portion of that territory is frequently
+named the Deuteron<a id='r1190' /><a href='#f1190' class='c009'><sup>[1190]</sup></a> by Byzantine writers. And he might have
+added that other portions of the territory were, respectively,
+styled the Triton<a id='r1191' /><a href='#f1191' class='c009'><sup>[1191]</sup></a> and the Pempton.<a id='r1192' /><a href='#f1192' class='c009'><sup>[1192]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Du Cange<a id='r1193' /><a href='#f1193' class='c009'><sup>[1193]</sup></a> was unable to accept Gyllius’s interpretation of
+the phrase, Ἑβδόμῳ Μιλίῳ. He insists upon its correct and only
+signification; and admits that the suburb derived its name from
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_320'>320</span>its situation near the seventh milestone from the capital. Nevertheless
+he is, impossible though it may seem, in substantial
+agreement with Gyllius.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The fundamental thesis of Du Cange on the subject is that
+the term “Hebdomon” had two meanings. Strictly speaking,
+he grants, it meant the seventh mile; but it was also employed,
+he maintains, as the designation of the whole district extending
+between the Wall of Constantine and the seventh milestone.
+Hence, after the erection of the Theodosian Walls, a considerable
+portion of the suburb was included within the new city
+limits, so that the Hebdomon could very well be where Gyllius
+supposed it stood.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Only, while supporting Gyllius on this point, Du Cange
+considers that the identification of the Church of St. John
+at Kesmè Kaya with the Church of St. John the Baptist at
+the Hebdomon is a mistake. For the latter is described
+by Constantine Porphyrogenitus<a id='r1194' /><a href='#f1194' class='c009'><sup>[1194]</sup></a> as without the city walls in
+the tenth century, and therefore never stood, like the Church
+of St. John at Kesmè Kaya, within the Theodosian lines. At
+the same time, Du Cange does not concede that the church of
+that dedication in the Hebdomon was near the seventh milestone.
+In harmony with his view regarding the extent of the
+area to which the term “Hebdomon” was applied, he holds that
+the church, though outside the Walls of Theodosius, was close to
+them. Du Cange differs from Gyllius also in laying great stress
+upon Tekfour Serai as an indication of the site of the Hebdomon,
+identifying that palace with the Palace of the Magnaura, one of
+the noted buildings of the suburb.<a id='r1195' /><a href='#f1195' class='c009'><sup>[1195]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_321'>321</span>What induced Du Cange to maintain the application of
+the term “Hebdomon” to the whole territory extending from
+the seventh mile eastwards to the walls of the city was the
+opinion, that only thus could certain statements regarding the
+suburb become intelligible or credible. The statement, for
+instance, that the plain at the Hebdomon was “adjacent”
+(ἀνακείμενον)<a id='r1196' /><a href='#f1196' class='c009'><sup>[1196]</sup></a> to the city implies, he thinks, that the plain of
+the Hebdomon was contiguous to the city; “quæ (vox) campus
+urbi adjacuisse situ prodit.” So does, he contends, the statement
+that the Avars, upon approaching to lay siege to the city,
+encamped “at what of the city is named the Hebdomon.”<a id='r1197' /><a href='#f1197' class='c009'><sup>[1197]</sup></a>
+For how could an enemy besiege a city without coming close up
+to its walls? The consideration, however, which above everything
+else led Du Cange to attach a wider meaning to the term
+“Hebdomon” than the seventh mile, was the difficulty of believing
+that the great religious processions which, on the occasion of a
+severe earthquake, went on foot from the city to the Campus
+of the Hebdomon to implore Divine Mercy, walked the whole
+distance of seven miles on that pious errand.<a id='r1198' /><a href='#f1198' class='c009'><sup>[1198]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Such a performance seemed to Du Cange, especially when the
+emperor and the patriarch took part in the procession, incredible;
+and since he could not imagine the people going to the Hebdomon,
+in the strict sense of the word, he made the Hebdomon
+come to the people, by extending the signification of the term.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>But Du Cange forgets that the processions to which he refers
+were recognized to be extraordinary performances, even in the
+age in which they were undertaken; that they were acts of
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_322'>322</span>profoundest humiliation in view of a most awful danger; that
+they were deeds of penance, whereby men hoped to move the
+Almighty to spare His people. The distance of seven miles
+is not too great for men to walk in order to escape a terrible
+death.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>At the same time, it is quite possible that the Campus of the
+Hebdomon extended some distance towards the city. The
+plain was not a mathematical point, and a portion of it may
+have been nearer the city than the seventh milestone itself was.
+That must be decided by the nature of the ground, not by
+subjective considerations. But to make the plain reach to the
+city walls for the reason assigned is preposterous.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>This brief account of the arguments with which Gyllius
+and Du Cange upheld their views must suffice. For all the
+evidence at our command goes to prove that the suburb
+occupied the site of the modern village of Makrikeui.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In support of this proposition there are, first, express
+statements to the effect that the Hebdomon, taken as a whole,
+was seven miles distant from the city. That is how Theophylactus
+Simocatta,<a id='r1199' /><a href='#f1199' class='c009'><sup>[1199]</sup></a> for instance, indicates the situation of the
+suburb: “It was a place seven miles from the city”—ἐν τῷ
+λεγομένῳ Ἑβδόμῳ (τόπος δὲ οὗτος τοῦ ἄστεος ἀπὸ σημείων ἑπτὰ).
+That is how Idatius, also, describes the suburb’s position,
+when speaking of the inauguration of Valens and of Arcadius
+there: “Levatus est Constantinopoli in Milliario VII.”<a id='r1200' /><a href='#f1200' class='c009'><sup>[1200]</sup></a> And
+it is in the same terms that Marcellinus Comes refers to the
+suburb, when he records the fact that Honorius was created
+Cæsar in it: “Id est, septimo ab urbe regia milliario.” To
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_323'>323</span>understand such expressions as denoting the whole territory
+between the walls of the city and the seventh milestone is out
+of the question. As employed by these writers, the term
+“Hebdomon” or “Septimum” means a definite place, reached
+only when a person stood seven miles from the point whence
+distances from Constantinople were measured.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the second place, not only is the Hebdomon, as a whole,
+described as being seven miles from the city, but the particular
+objects found there are similarly identified. The Church of
+St. John the Baptist in that suburb, Sozomon,<a id='r1201' /><a href='#f1201' class='c009'><sup>[1201]</sup></a> Socrates,<a id='r1202' /><a href='#f1202' class='c009'><sup>[1202]</sup></a> and
+John of Antioch<a id='r1203' /><a href='#f1203' class='c009'><sup>[1203]</sup></a> state in express words, was seven miles from
+the city. The Church of St. John the Evangelist, which
+stood in the suburb, is declared by Socrates<a id='r1204' /><a href='#f1204' class='c009'><sup>[1204]</sup></a> to have been
+at the same distance. Thus, also, the Campus of the Hebdomon
+is described by Cedrenus as “the plain in front of
+the city, seven miles distant.”<a id='r1205' /><a href='#f1205' class='c009'><sup>[1205]</sup></a> The Imperial Tribune in that
+Campus was, according to Idatius and Marcellinus Comes,
+at the seventh mile: “In milliario septimo, in Tribunali;”
+“Septimo ab urbe regia milliario.” So, likewise, the palace
+which Justinian the Great built at the Hebdomon<a id='r1206' /><a href='#f1206' class='c009'><sup>[1206]</sup></a> is described,
+in the subscription to several of his laws, as at the seventh
+mile: “Recitata septimo milliario hujus inclytæ civitatis, in
+Novo Consistorio Palatii Justiniani.”<a id='r1207' /><a href='#f1207' class='c009'><sup>[1207]</sup></a> In all these passages the
+Hebdomon is defined with a precision that renders any vague
+and loose application of the term impossible, if language has
+any meaning. So much for the distance of the Hebdomon from
+the city.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_324'>324</span>That the Hebdomon was situated on the shore of the Sea of
+Marmora is placed beyond dispute by the fact that ships
+approaching Constantinople from the south reached the Hebdomon
+before arriving at the city. When, for example, Epiphanius
+came by ship from Cyprus to Constantinople, in 402, to
+attend a synod called to condemn the heresies of Origen, he
+landed at the Hebdomon, and celebrated divine service there in
+the Church of St. John the Baptist, before entering the capital.<a id='r1208' /><a href='#f1208' class='c009'><sup>[1208]</sup></a>
+This order in the stages of the bishop’s journey implies that the
+suburb stood on the shore of the Sea of Marmora. Again, when
+the fleet of Heraclius came up from Carthage to overthrow Phocas,
+in 610, the latter proceeded to the Hebdomon to view the ships
+of the hostile expedition as they stood off the suburb, and there
+he remained until they advanced towards the city, when he
+mounted horse and hurried back to fight for his throne.<a id='r1209' /><a href='#f1209' class='c009'><sup>[1209]</sup></a> Such
+proceedings were possible only if the suburb stood beside the Sea
+of Marmora. Yet again; the Saracen fleets which came against
+Constantinople, in 673 and 717, put into the harbour of the
+Hebdomon on their way to the city. On the first occasion the
+enemy’s vessels anchored, says Theophanes,<a id='r1210' /><a href='#f1210' class='c009'><sup>[1210]</sup></a> “off Thrace, from
+the promontory of the Hebdomon, otherwise named Magnaura,
+to the promontory of the Cyclobion.” The ships of the second
+Saracen expedition, likewise, “anchored between the Magnaura
+and the Cyclobion.” There they waited for two days, and then,
+taking advantage of a south wind, “they sailed alongside the
+city,” some of them making the ports of Anthemius and Eutropius
+(at Kadikeui), others of them reaching the Bosporus, and
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_325'>325</span>dropping anchor between Galata and Klidion (Ortakeui).<a id='r1211' /><a href='#f1211' class='c009'><sup>[1211]</sup></a>
+Manifestly, the Hebdomon lay to the west of the city, upon the
+Sea of Marmora.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Let one more proof of this fact suffice. When Pope Constantine
+visited Constantinople in 708, for the settlement of certain
+disputes between Eastern and Western Christendom, he came all
+the way by sea until he reached the Hebdomon. There the
+Pontiff and his retinue disembarked, and having been welcomed
+with distinguished honour, mounted horses which had been
+sent from the Imperial stables, and rode into the city in great
+state: “A quo loco (the island Cæa) navigantes venerunt a
+Septimo Milliario Constantinopolim, ubi egressus Tiberius
+Imperator, filius Justiniani Augusti (Justinian II.) cum Patriciis,
+cum clero, et populi multitudine, omnes lætantes, et diem festum
+agentes. Pontifex autem et ejus primates, cum sellaribus imperialibus,
+sellis et frenis inauratis, simul et mappulis, ingressi
+sunt civitatem.”<a id='r1212' /><a href='#f1212' class='c009'><sup>[1212]</sup></a> On the view that the Hebdomon was situated
+beside the Sea of Marmora, all this is clear.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The data for determining the situation of the Hebdomon
+therefore are: that the suburb was seven miles from the city;
+that it stood beside the Sea of Marmora; that it had a harbour,
+on the one hand, and a plain of considerable extent, on the
+other.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>There is little room for difference of opinion in regard to the
+point from which the seven miles are to be measured. That point
+could not have been in the Theodosian Walls, as the Hebdomon
+is mentioned before they were in existence. For a similar
+reason, it could not have been in the Wall of Constantine, seeing
+the Egnatian Road which led from Byzantium to Rome was
+marked with the seventh milestone before the foundation of
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_326'>326</span>Constantinople. It must, therefore, have been the point whence
+distances from old Byzantium were measured under the Roman
+domination. This being so, the choice lies between the Milion
+near St. Sophia, and the gate of Byzantium near the Column
+of Constantine. In favour of the former is the fact that it was
+the point from which distances from Constantinople were afterwards
+measured; for in all probability that usage was the
+continuation of the practice of the older city, any change in
+that respect being not only unnecessary, but exceedingly inconvenient.
+Still, the result will be substantially the same if the
+gate of Byzantium is preferred, since the Milion and that gate
+were at a short distance from each other. Seven miles from
+either point, westwards, to the Sea of Marmora will bring us
+to the modern suburb of Makrikeui.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Between the promontory on which that village stands and the
+promontory of Zeitin Bournou, to the east, is a bay which could
+serve as a harbour; while to the north and north-east spreads a
+magnificent plain. Makrikeui, therefore, satisfies all the indications
+regarding the site of the Hebdomon.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>As a corollary from this determination of the real site of the
+Hebdomon there follows the determination of the real site of the
+Cyclobion; and thus the correction of another of the mistakes into
+which students of the topography of Byzantine Constantinople
+have fallen. The prevalent opinion on the subject, since Du
+Cange<a id='r1213' /><a href='#f1213' class='c009'><sup>[1213]</sup></a> propounded the opinion, has been that the Cyclobion
+was a fortress attached to the Golden Gate. But this could not
+have been the case, for the Cyclobion was at the Hebdomon.
+It was a fortification on the eastern headland of the bay which
+formed the Harbour of the Hebdomon,<a id='r1214' /><a href='#f1214' class='c009'><sup>[1214]</sup></a> and, therefore, stood some
+two miles and a half from the Golden Gate. This explains how
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_327'>327</span>Theophanes<a id='r1215' /><a href='#f1215' class='c009'><sup>[1215]</sup></a> describes the engagements between the Greeks and
+the Saracens, who landed at the Hebdomon in 673, as taking
+place between the Golden Gate and the Cyclobion. The fortress
+was so closely connected with the suburb that the latter is sometimes
+referred to under the name of the former. The Church of
+St. John the Evangelist at the Hebdomon, for example, is declared
+by one authority<a id='r1216' /><a href='#f1216' class='c009'><sup>[1216]</sup></a> to have stood in the Cyclobion: “Ad Castrum
+autem Rotundum, in quo est Ecclesia, miræ magnitudinis, Sancti
+Evangelistæ Johannis nomini dicata.” Again, whereas John of
+Antioch<a id='r1217' /><a href='#f1217' class='c009'><sup>[1217]</sup></a> represents the fleet of Heraclius as standing off the
+Hebdomon, the <i>Paschal Chronicle</i>,<a id='r1218' /><a href='#f1218' class='c009'><sup>[1218]</sup></a> on the other hand, says the
+fleet was seen off the Round Tower. In all probability, the
+Cyclobion stood at Zeitin Bournou, on the tongue of land
+to the east of Makrikeui. It derived its name, Κυκλόβιον,
+Στρογγύλον Καστέλλιον (Castrum Rotundum), from its circular
+form,<a id='r1219' /><a href='#f1219' class='c009'><sup>[1219]</sup></a> and was a link in the chain of coast fortifications defending
+the approach to the city. It was repaired by Justinian
+the Great, who connected it by a good road with Rhegium<a id='r1220' /><a href='#f1220' class='c009'><sup>[1220]</sup></a>
+(Kutchuk Tchekmedjè), another military post, and drew upon
+its garrison for troops to suppress the riot of the Nika.<a id='r1221' /><a href='#f1221' class='c009'><sup>[1221]</sup></a> There
+Constantine Copronymus died on board the ship on which he
+had hoped to reach the capital from Selivria, when forced by
+his mortal illness to return from an expedition against the
+Bulgarians.<a id='r1222' /><a href='#f1222' class='c009'><sup>[1222]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Whether the Cyclobion was the same as the “Castle of the
+Theodosiani at the Hebdomon,” mentioned by Theophanes,<a id='r1223' /><a href='#f1223' class='c009'><sup>[1223]</sup></a> is
+not certain. On the whole, the fact that the two names are employed
+by the same historian favours the view that they designated
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_328'>328</span>different fortifications. The Theodosiani were a body of troops
+named in honour of Theodosius the Great.<a id='r1224' /><a href='#f1224' class='c009'><sup>[1224]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>What gave the Hebdomon its importance and explains its
+history was, primarily, its favourable situation for the establishment
+of a large military camp in the neighbourhood of the capital.
+An extensive plain, with abundance of water, and at a convenient
+distance from the city, furnished a magnificent camping-ground
+for the legions of New Rome. This, in view of the
+military associations of the throne, especially during the earlier
+period of the Empire, brought the emperors frequently to the
+suburb to attend great functions of State, and thus converted it
+also into an Imperial quarter, embellished with the palaces,
+churches, and monuments which spring up around a Court. To
+these political reasons for the prosperity of the suburb were
+added the natural attractions of the place—its pleasant climate,
+its wide prospect over the Sea of Marmora, and the excellent
+sport obtained in the surrounding country.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>It was on the plain of the Hebdomon that Theodosius
+the Great joined the army which he led against the usurper
+Eugenius in Italy.<a id='r1225' /><a href='#f1225' class='c009'><sup>[1225]</sup></a> There, the Gothic troops which Arcadius
+recalled from the war with Alaric took up their quarters under
+the command of Gainas, and there that emperor, accompanied
+by his minister Rufinus, held the memorable review of those
+troops, in the course of which Rufinus was assassinated in
+the Imperial tribune.<a id='r1226' /><a href='#f1226' class='c009'><sup>[1226]</sup></a> It was at the Hebdomon that Gainas
+gathered the soldiers with which he planned to seize the capital.<a id='r1227' /><a href='#f1227' class='c009'><sup>[1227]</sup></a>
+There Vitalianus encamped with more than sixty thousand men
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_329'>329</span>to besiege Constantinople in the reign of Anastasius I.<a id='r1228' /><a href='#f1228' class='c009'><sup>[1228]</sup></a> Thither
+Phocas<a id='r1229' /><a href='#f1229' class='c009'><sup>[1229]</sup></a> and Leo the Armenian<a id='r1230' /><a href='#f1230' class='c009'><sup>[1230]</sup></a> brought the armies that enabled
+them to win the crown. And there Avars, Saracens, Bulgarians,
+and, doubtless, other foes halted to gaze upon the walls and
+towers they hoped to scale, or from which they retired baffled
+and broken.<a id='r1231' /><a href='#f1231' class='c009'><sup>[1231]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The plain at the Hebdomon was used, also, for military
+exercises and athletic sports, and consequently appears under
+the name of the Campus Martius,<a id='r1232' /><a href='#f1232' class='c009'><sup>[1232]</sup></a> as though to give it the
+prestige of the ground devoted to similar purposes on the banks
+of the Tiber. There recruits were drilled and trained in the use
+of arms,<a id='r1233' /><a href='#f1233' class='c009'><sup>[1233]</sup></a> and there the popular game of polo was played.<a id='r1234' /><a href='#f1234' class='c009'><sup>[1234]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Thither, also, on account of the wide and free space afforded
+by the plain the population of the city fled, on the occasion of a
+violent earthquake, to find a temporary abode, or to take part in
+public supplications for the withdrawal of the calamity.<a id='r1235' /><a href='#f1235' class='c009'><sup>[1235]</sup></a> Such
+services were attended by the emperor and the patriarch, and it
+was on such an occasion that the Emperor Maurice, a particularly
+devout man, and the Patriarch Anatolius, proceeded from the
+city to the Campus, on foot.<a id='r1236' /><a href='#f1236' class='c009'><sup>[1236]</sup></a> It was customary, moreover, to
+hold religious services at the Campus on the anniversary of a
+great earthquake, to avert the recurrence of the disaster, or to
+celebrate the fact that it had not been attended with loss of life.<a id='r1237' /><a href='#f1237' class='c009'><sup>[1237]</sup></a>
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_330'>330</span>There, also, public executions took place,<a id='r1238' /><a href='#f1238' class='c009'><sup>[1238]</sup></a> or the heads of
+persons executed elsewhere were set up for public gaze, as in the
+case of the Emperor Maurice and his five sons.<a id='r1239' /><a href='#f1239' class='c009'><sup>[1239]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>But the chief interest of the Hebdomon belongs to it on
+account of the many associations of the suburb with the life of
+the Byzantine Court. There, in the early days of the Eastern
+Empire, while old Roman customs prevailed and the army continued
+to be a great political factor, an emperor often assumed the
+purple, in the presence of his legions and a vast concourse of the
+citizens of the capital. At the suburb, also, triumphal processions
+sometimes commenced their march to the Golden Gate and the
+city. And there the emperors had a palace to which they resorted
+for country air, or to escape the turbulence of the Factions,
+or to take part in the State ceremonies performed on the
+adjoining Campus.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The earliest reference to the Hebdomon, though not by name,
+is in connection with the inauguration of Valens there, in 364, as
+the colleague of his brother, the Emperor Valentinian: “Valentem,
+in suburbanum, universorum sententiis concinentibus (nec enim
+audebat quisquam refragari) Augustum pronuntiavit; decoreque
+imperatorii cultus ornatum et tempore diademate redimitum in
+eodem vehiculo secum reduxit.”<a id='r1240' /><a href='#f1240' class='c009'><sup>[1240]</sup></a> In commemoration of the event
+Valens erected a tribune, adorned with many statues, for the
+accommodation of the emperors when taking part in State
+functions on the Campus of the suburb.<a id='r1241' /><a href='#f1241' class='c009'><sup>[1241]</sup></a> It was known as the
+Tribune of the Hebdomon (ἐν τῷ Τριβουναλίῳ Ἑβδόμου).<a id='r1242' /><a href='#f1242' class='c009'><sup>[1242]</sup></a></p>
+
+<div id='fig_fp330'  class='figcenter id004'>
+<a href='images/fig_fp330-large.jpg'><img src='images/fig_fp330.jpg' alt='Triumphus Theodosii.' class='ig001' /></a>
+<div class='ic002'>
+<p>Triumphus Theodosii.</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+
+<p class='c008'>Valens also provided the Harbour of the Hebdomon with a
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_331'>331</span>quay, and showed his partiality for the suburb otherwise to such an
+extent that Themistius ventured to expostulate with him, and to
+charge him with forgetting to improve and beautify the capital.<a id='r1243' /><a href='#f1243' class='c009'><sup>[1243]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>After Valens, the following ten emperors were invested with
+the purple at the Hebdomon: Arcadius,<a id='r1244' /><a href='#f1244' class='c009'><sup>[1244]</sup></a> by his father Theodosius
+the Great, who also raised Honorius to the rank of Cæsar
+there;<a id='r1245' /><a href='#f1245' class='c009'><sup>[1245]</sup></a> Theodosius II.;<a id='r1246' /><a href='#f1246' class='c009'><sup>[1246]</sup></a> Marcian;<a id='r1247' /><a href='#f1247' class='c009'><sup>[1247]</sup></a> Leo the Great;<a id='r1248' /><a href='#f1248' class='c009'><sup>[1248]</sup></a> Zeno;<a id='r1249' /><a href='#f1249' class='c009'><sup>[1249]</sup></a>
+Basiliscus;<a id='r1250' /><a href='#f1250' class='c009'><sup>[1250]</sup></a> Maurice;<a id='r1251' /><a href='#f1251' class='c009'><sup>[1251]</sup></a> Phocas;<a id='r1252' /><a href='#f1252' class='c009'><sup>[1252]</sup></a> Leo the Armenian;<a id='r1253' /><a href='#f1253' class='c009'><sup>[1253]</sup></a> and
+Nicephorus Phocas.<a id='r1254' /><a href='#f1254' class='c009'><sup>[1254]</sup></a> Doubtless the fatigue involved in celebrating
+the ceremony so far from the heart of the city had much
+to do with transferring the scene of Imperial inaugurations to the
+Hippodrome.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The custom of installing an emperor thus into his office was
+the continuation of an old Roman practice which testified to the
+power acquired by the army in deciding the succession to the
+throne. We have two accounts of the ceremonies observed on
+such an occasion at the Hebdomon, given at great length and
+with minute details by that devoted student and admirer of
+Byzantine Court etiquette, Constantine Porphyrogenitus.<a id='r1255' /><a href='#f1255' class='c009'><sup>[1255]</sup></a> They
+are interesting, both as an exhibition of public life during the
+Later Empire, and as an illustration of the extent to which old
+Roman forms, and even the old Roman spirit, survived the
+profound changes which the Empire underwent after the capital
+was removed to the banks of the Bosporus.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>When all interested in the event of the day had assembled,
+the troops present laid their standards prostrate upon the
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_332'>332</span>ground, to express the desolation of the State bereft of a
+ruler. Meanwhile, from every point of the Campus rose the
+sound of prayer, as the immense multitudes gathered there
+joined in supplications that God would approve the man
+who had been chosen as the new chief of the Empire. “Hear
+us, O God; we beseech Thee to hear us, O God. Grant Leo
+life; let him reign. O God, Lover of mankind, the public
+weal demands Leo; the army demands him; the laws wait for
+him; the palace awaits him. So prays the army, the Senate,
+the people. The world expects Leo; the army waits for
+him. Let Leo, our common glory, come; let Leo, our common
+good, reign. Hear us, O God, we beseech Thee.” At length the
+emperor-elect appeared, and ascended the Imperial tribune. A
+coronet was placed upon his head by one high military officer,
+an armlet upon his right arm by another. And instantly the
+prostrate standards were lifted high, and the air shook with
+acclamations: “Leo, Augustus, thou hast conquered; thou art
+Pius, August. God gave thee, God will guard thee. Ever
+conquer, worshipper of Christ. Long be thy reign. God will
+defend the Christian Empire.”<a id='r1256' /><a href='#f1256' class='c009'><sup>[1256]</sup></a> This was the first act in the
+dramatic spectacle. Next came the solemn investiture of the
+emperor with the Imperial insignia. This took place behind a
+shield held before him by soldiers of the household-troops
+known as the Candidati, and when he had been duly robed,
+crowned, and armed with shield and spear, the screen was
+removed, and the new sovereign stood before the gaze of his
+subjects in all his majesty.<a id='r1257' /><a href='#f1257' class='c009'><sup>[1257]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_333'>333</span>The dignitaries of the State now approached, in the order of
+their rank, and did homage to the monarch, while the crowds
+around made the air ring again with every acclamation that
+loyalty or adulation could invent. As soon as this scene terminated,
+the emperor addressed a brief allocation to the soldiers,
+through a herald; claiming to reign by the will of God and their
+suffrage, promising devotion to the welfare of the Empire, and a
+generous donative to each of his faithful companion-in-arms,
+announcements which were greeted with storms of applause.
+Then the sum of money required for the promised largess was
+handed over by the emperor to the officers charged with its
+distribution.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Upon the conclusion of this important part of the day’s
+proceedings, the ceremonies assumed a religious character. The
+emperor now repaired, on foot, to a camp-chapel, a tent of
+many colours, at a short distance from the Imperial tribune,
+and, leaving his crown without, entered to bow before the King
+of kings. It was a simple service conducted by ordinary
+priests, as the patriarch and higher clergy had left the Campus
+for St. Sophia. Upon issuing from the chapel, the emperor
+resumed his crown, and proceeded on a white charger, followed by
+a brilliant escort of dignitaries also on horseback, to the Church
+of St. John the Baptist, the principal sanctuary of the Hebdomon.
+This second service may be described as the Consecration of
+the Crown. For in this case, the crown, upon being again
+removed from the emperor’s head, was not left in the vestry,
+but was carried by a court official up to the altar, and then
+placed by the emperor himself on the sacred table. There it
+remained until the service closed, when the emperor handed
+it to the court official, and, having presented a rich gift to the
+church, returned to the vestry and assumed his diadem once
+more. This brought the coronation ceremonies, so far as they
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_334'>334</span>concerned the Hebdomon, to an end. The stream of life now
+poured into the city, the Imperial <i>cortége</i> gathering more
+and more pomp as it passed the Golden Gate, the Helenianæ,<a id='r1258' /><a href='#f1258' class='c009'><sup>[1258]</sup></a>
+the Forum of Constantine, and entered St. Sophia for the
+supreme coronation of the emperor by the patriarch in the Great
+Cathedral of the capital.<a id='r1259' /><a href='#f1259' class='c009'><sup>[1259]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Only one triumphal procession, that of Basil I.,<a id='r1260' /><a href='#f1260' class='c009'><sup>[1260]</sup></a> is expressly
+described as starting from the Hebdomon, but the suburb was in
+all probability<a id='r1261' /><a href='#f1261' class='c009'><sup>[1261]</sup></a> the starting-point also of the processions which
+celebrated the victories of Theodosius the Great, Heraclius, Constantine
+Copronymus, Zimisces, and Basil II., if not of Michael
+Palæologus.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>On the occasion of the triumph accorded to Basil I., the
+Senate and a vast crowd, representing all classes of the population,
+and carrying wreaths of roses and other flowers, went forth
+from the city to the Hebdomon to welcome the conqueror, who
+had crossed to the suburb from the palace at Hiereia (Fener
+Bagtchè). After the customary salutations had been exchanged,
+the emperor proceeded to the Church of St. John the Baptist
+to pray and light tapers at that venerated shrine. Then having
+put on his “scaramangion triblation,” he and his son Constantine
+mounted horse and took the road towards the Golden
+Gate, the Senate and people leading the way, with banners
+waving in the air. A short halt was made at the monastery of
+the Abramiti (τῶν Ἀβραμιτῶν), which stood between the suburb
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_335'>335</span>and the gate, that Basil might offer his devotions in the Church
+of the Theotokos Acheiropoietos (Ἀχειροποίητος), and then the
+procession resumed its march, and entered through the Golden
+Gate into the jubilant capital.<a id='r1262' /><a href='#f1262' class='c009'><sup>[1262]</sup></a></p>

+
+<p class='c008'>The first writer who mentions the Hebdomon by name refers
+to it as an Imperial country retreat which the emperors gladly
+frequented. From the connection in which Rufinus<a id='r1263' /><a href='#f1263' class='c009'><sup>[1263]</sup></a> makes this
+statement, it is evident that a palace stood at the Hebdomon
+before the reign of Theodosius the Great. That residence was
+either rebuilt or enlarged in the reign of Justinian the Great,
+when mention is made of “the New Consistorium of the Palace
+of Justinian, at the seventh mile from this renowned city.”<a id='r1264' /><a href='#f1264' class='c009'><sup>[1264]</sup></a>
+How agreeable a retreat the palace was may be inferred from the
+name bestowed upon it—the Pleasance, Jucundianæ (Ἰουκουνδιαναὶ).<a id='r1265' /><a href='#f1265' class='c009'><sup>[1265]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In front of the palace rose the statue of Justinian, on a
+porphyry column brought for the purpose from the Forum of
+Constantine, where it had borne the silver statue of Theodosius I.<a id='r1266' /><a href='#f1266' class='c009'><sup>[1266]</sup></a>
+Justinian showed his partiality for the suburb, moreover, by
+the erection of porticoes, fora, baths, churches, all built in a
+style worthy of the capital itself, and by having the Harbour of
+the Hebdomon dredged and provided with jetties for the better
+accommodation and safety of the shipping frequenting the coast.<a id='r1267' /><a href='#f1267' class='c009'><sup>[1267]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_336'>336</span>In the seventh and eighth centuries the palace of the Hebdomon
+appears under the name of Magnaura;<a id='r1268' /><a href='#f1268' class='c009'><sup>[1268]</sup></a> but whether it
+was the old residence under a different designation, or a new
+building added to the Imperial quarters, in the style of the Hall
+of the Magnaura in the Great Palace beside the Hippodrome,<a id='r1269' /><a href='#f1269' class='c009'><sup>[1269]</sup></a> it
+is impossible to say.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>It was to the palace of the Hebdomon, probably, that
+Pulcheria retired from the Court of her brother Theodosius II.,
+while the influence of the Empress Eudoxia had the ascendency.<a id='r1270' /><a href='#f1270' class='c009'><sup>[1270]</sup></a>
+Basiliscus withdrew to it from the storm of theological hatred
+which his opposition to the creed of Chalcedon had excited
+in the capital, and thither the pillar-saint of Anaplus (Arnaoutkeui),
+Daniel Stylites, went to rebuke him and foretell the loss
+of the throne which had been usurped and dishonoured.<a id='r1271' /><a href='#f1271' class='c009'><sup>[1271]</sup></a> As
+already intimated, it was a favourite resort of Justinian the
+Great,<a id='r1272' /><a href='#f1272' class='c009'><sup>[1272]</sup></a> and several of his laws were promulgated during his
+residence there. On the occasion of one of his visits, the
+Imperial crown mysteriously disappeared and was not heard of
+again for eight months, when it as strangely reappeared, without
+a single gem missing.<a id='r1273' /><a href='#f1273' class='c009'><sup>[1273]</sup></a> The palace was occupied also by
+Justin II.<a id='r1274' /><a href='#f1274' class='c009'><sup>[1274]</sup></a> and Tiberius II., the latter dying in it.<a id='r1275' /><a href='#f1275' class='c009'><sup>[1275]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Hebdomon enjoyed, moreover, a great religious reputation
+on account of its numerous churches. The oldest sanctuary
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_337'>337</span>of the suburb was the Basilica of St. John the Evangelist,<a id='r1276' /><a href='#f1276' class='c009'><sup>[1276]</sup></a>
+which appears first in the reign of Arcadius,<a id='r1277' /><a href='#f1277' class='c009'><sup>[1277]</sup></a> but claimed to be
+a foundation of Constantine the Great. It is described by the
+Legates of Hadrian II., after its restoration under Basil I.,<a id='r1278' /><a href='#f1278' class='c009'><sup>[1278]</sup></a> as
+remarkable for its size, “miræ magnitudinis,”<a id='r1279' /><a href='#f1279' class='c009'><sup>[1279]</sup></a> and continued to
+be a venerated shrine as late as the Comnenian period,<a id='r1280' /><a href='#f1280' class='c009'><sup>[1280]</sup></a> after
+which it was allowed to fall into decay. Basil II. was interred
+in it, according to his dying request,<a id='r1281' /><a href='#f1281' class='c009'><sup>[1281]</sup></a> and his grave was
+discovered among the ruins of the church in the thirteenth
+century, while Michael Palæologus was engaged in the siege
+of Galata, in 1260. Some members of the Imperial household,
+in the course of their exploration of the surrounding country,
+then visited the Hebdomon, and found the church of St. John
+the Evangelist turned into a fold for sheep and cattle. As the
+visitors wandered among the ruins, admiring the traces of the
+building’s former beauty, they stumbled upon the dead body
+of a man. It was naked, but well preserved, and in its mouth
+a vulgar jester had placed a shepherd’s lute by way of
+derision. As the corpse lay near a sarcophagus upon which
+was inscribed an epitaph in honour of Basil II., no doubt could
+be entertained regarding the identity of the body. When
+the discovery was reported to Michael Palæologus, he commanded
+the mortal remains of his predecessor to be conveyed
+in great state to the camp before Galata, to receive once
+more a tribute of respect, and then sent them with solemn
+ceremonial to Selivria,<a id='r1282' /><a href='#f1282' class='c009'><sup>[1282]</sup></a> for interment in the monastery of
+St. Saviour.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'><span class='pageno' id='Page_338'>338</span>Another of the sanctuaries at the Hebdomon was the church
+erected, in 407, by the Emperor Arcadius to enshrine the reputed
+remains of the Prophet Samuel.<a id='r1283' /><a href='#f1283' class='c009'><sup>[1283]</sup></a> Such importance was attached
+to these relics that their conveyance from Palestine to Constantinople,
+by way of Asia Minor, resembled an Imperial progress
+through the country. One might have supposed the prophet
+himself was moving through the land, so great was the interest
+and devotion displayed by the population along the route.<a id='r1284' /><a href='#f1284' class='c009'><sup>[1284]</sup></a> Nor
+were the relics less honoured upon their arrival at the capital.
+The emperor and the highest dignitaries of Church and State
+did homage to them at the Scala Chalcedonensis and carried
+them in procession to the Church of St. Sophia, where the sacred
+remains rested until the church built for them at the Hebdomon
+was completed.<a id='r1285' /><a href='#f1285' class='c009'><sup>[1285]</sup></a> The church fell in the earthquake which shook
+the city in the thirty-first year of the reign of Justinian the
+Great.<a id='r1286' /><a href='#f1286' class='c009'><sup>[1286]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>But the most venerated church in the suburb was that
+dedicated to St. John the Baptist (τὸ μαρτύριον τοῦ Βαπτιστοῦ
+Ἰωάννου),<a id='r1287' /><a href='#f1287' class='c009'><sup>[1287]</sup></a> a domical edifice, built by Theodosius the Great<a id='r1288' /><a href='#f1288' class='c009'><sup>[1288]</sup></a> for
+the reception of the head, it was supposed, of the heroic
+Forerunner of Christ. The Emperor Valens had already
+sought to obtain the relic. But its possessors, certain monks
+of the sect of Macedonius, who had taken it with them from
+Jerusalem to Cilicia, refused to surrender the treasure, and
+all that Valens succeeded in doing was to bring it as near to
+Constantinople as Panticheion (Pendik), on the opposite shore
+of the Sea of Marmora. There, the mules which drew the car
+conveying the relic refused to proceed any further, and at that
+village, accordingly, in obedience to what appeared to be an
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_339'>339</span>indication of the Divine will, the sacred head was allowed to
+remain. When Theodosius the Great endeavoured to acquire
+the relic, its custodians, a woman Matrona and a priest Vicentius,
+did everything in their power to prevent the execution of the
+emperor’s design. But the pressure to make them yield was
+such that at last they gave their reluctant consent. In doing
+so, however, Matrona cherished the secret belief that Theodosius
+would be hindered, like Valens, from carrying out his purpose;
+while Vicentius laid down a condition which he thought could
+never be fulfilled, viz. that the emperor in removing the head
+should walk after the Baptist. Theodosius saw no difficulty in
+the condition. He reverently wrapped the reliquary in his
+Imperial mantle and, holding the sacred contents in front of him,
+took them to the Church of St. John the Evangelist at the Hebdomon,
+and commenced the erection of a church consecrated
+to the Forerunner’s name as their final shrine. This won
+Vicentius over to the emperor’s side, and he followed the
+head to the Hebdomon. But Matrona, with a true woman’s
+intensity of feeling, maintained her protest, and would never
+come near the suburb which had disappointed her faith, and
+purloined her treasure.<a id='r1289' /><a href='#f1289' class='c009'><sup>[1289]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>It was the possession of this relic that gave the church its
+great religious repute. This explains why, as we have seen,
+Theodosius the Great,<a id='r1290' /><a href='#f1290' class='c009'><sup>[1290]</sup></a> Epiphanius of Cyprus,<a id='r1291' /><a href='#f1291' class='c009'><sup>[1291]</sup></a> Gainas,<a id='r1292' /><a href='#f1292' class='c009'><sup>[1292]</sup></a> at
+important moments in their lives, performed their devotions
+there; and this accounts for the association of the church
+with the ceremonies attending Imperial inaugurations and
+triumphs.<a id='r1293' /><a href='#f1293' class='c009'><sup>[1293]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the course of its history the church was twice restored on
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_340'>340</span>a magnificent scale; first by Justinian the Great,<a id='r1294' /><a href='#f1294' class='c009'><sup>[1294]</sup></a> and again
+by Basil I.<a id='r1295' /><a href='#f1295' class='c009'><sup>[1295]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Other churches of less note at the Hebdomon were respectively
+dedicated to St. Theodotè (τὸ Θεδότης ἁγίας τέμενος);<a id='r1296' /><a href='#f1296' class='c009'><sup>[1296]</sup></a>
+SS. Menas and Menaius (Μηνᾶς καὶ Μηναίος);<a id='r1297' /><a href='#f1297' class='c009'><sup>[1297]</sup></a> SS. Benjamin
+and Berius (Ἁγίων Βενιαμὶν καὶ Βηρίου);<a id='r1298' /><a href='#f1298' class='c009'><sup>[1298]</sup></a> and the Holy Innocents
+(τῶν Νηπίων).<a id='r1299' /><a href='#f1299' class='c009'><sup>[1299]</sup></a> The first two sanctuaries owed their foundation
+to Justinian the Great, who did so much for the suburb in other
+ways; at the last church, the Senate welcomed an emperor upon
+his return to the capital by land, from the West.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Finally, in days when travellers made the first and last stages
+of a journey short, the Hebdomon enjoyed considerable importance
+as a halting-place for persons leaving or approaching
+Constantinople; its proximity to the city rendering it a
+caravansary, where a traveller could conveniently make his
+final arrangements to start on his way, or to enter the capital
+in a suitable manner. The suburb served that purpose, even in
+the case of the emperors.<a id='r1300' /><a href='#f1300' class='c009'><sup>[1300]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Instances of this use of the suburb, by Theodosius the Great,
+Epiphanius, and Pope Constantine, have already been noticed,
+when referring to other matters connected with the Hebdomon.
+There also the Legates of Pope Hormisdas, in 515,<a id='r1301' /><a href='#f1301' class='c009'><sup>[1301]</sup></a>  and the
+Legates of Pope Hadrian II., in 869,<a id='r1302' /><a href='#f1302' class='c009'><sup>[1302]</sup></a> rested before entering the
+city. There the Emperor Maurice halted, upon leaving Constantinople,
+to join the expedition against the Avars;<a id='r1303' /><a href='#f1303' class='c009'><sup>[1303]</sup></a> and
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_341'>341</span>there Peter, King of Bulgaria, stopped on his return home, in
+927, with the Princess Maria, the granddaughter of the Emperor
+Romanus Lecapenus, as his bride.<a id='r1304' /><a href='#f1304' class='c009'><sup>[1304]</sup></a></p>
+
+<p class='c008'>On the last occasion, as relatives and friends, doubtless,
+often did under similar circumstances, the parents of the princess
+accompanied her as far as the suburb to take leave of her there.
+The historian has left a vivid picture of the scene. “When
+the moment for their daughter’s departure approached, father
+and mother burst into tears, as is natural for parents about to
+part with the dearest pledge of their love. Then having embraced
+their son-in-law, and entrusted their child to his care,
+they returned to the Imperial city. Maria proceeded on her
+journey to Bulgaria in the king’s charge, with mingled feelings of
+grief and joy—sad, because carried away from beloved parents,
+Imperial palaces, and the society of her relations and friends;
+happy, because her husband was a king, and she was the Despina
+of Bulgaria. She took with her much wealth, and an immense
+quantity of baggage.”</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In keeping with such practices, when the Icon of St. Demetrius
+was transported from Thessalonica to Constantinople, in the
+reign of Manuel Comnenus, to be placed in the Church of the
+Pantocrator (now Zeirek Klissè Djamissi, above Oun Kapan
+Kapoussi), members of the Senate and a vast multitude of
+priests, monks, and laymen, went seven miles from the capital
+to receive the sacred picture and escort it with great pomp to its
+destination.<a id='r1305' /><a href='#f1305' class='c009'><sup>[1305]</sup></a></p>

+  <h2 id='chap20' class='c006'>CHAPTER XX. <br /> THE ANASTASIAN WALL.</h2>
+</div>
+<p class='c007'>Some notice, however brief, may here be taken of the wall
+erected by the Emperor Anastasius I. to increase the security of
+the capital, and at the same time to protect from hostile incursions
+the suburbs and a considerable tract of the rich and
+populous country, outside the Theodosian Walls. This additional
+line of defence, consisting of a wall twenty feet thick flanked by
+towers, stood at a distance of forty miles to the west of the city,
+and was carried from the shore of the Sea of Marmora to the
+shore of the Black Sea, across a territory fifty-four miles broad,
+or, as Procopius measures it, what would take two days to
+traverse.<a id='r1306' /><a href='#f1306' class='c009'><sup>[1306]</sup></a> It was known, in view of its length, as the Long Wall
+(Μακρὸν τεῖχος),<a id='r1307' /><a href='#f1307' class='c009'><sup>[1307]</sup></a> the Long Walls (τὰ Μακρὰ τείχη),<a id='r1308' /><a href='#f1308' class='c009'><sup>[1308]</sup></a> and, after
+the emperor by whom it was erected, as the Anastasian Wall (τὸ
+τεῖχος τὸ Ἀναστασιακὸν).<a id='r1309' /><a href='#f1309' class='c009'><sup>[1309]</sup></a> In 559, in the reign of Justinian the
+Great, it demanded extensive repairs on account of injuries due
+to earthquakes, and occasion was then taken to introduce a
+change which, it was hoped, would render the defence of the wall
+an easier task. All tower-gateways permitting communication
+between the towers along the summit of the wall were built up,
+<span class='pageno' id='Page_343'>343</span>so that a tower could be entered only by the gateway at its base;
+the object of this arrangement being to make every tower an
+independent fort, which could hold out against an enemy even
+after he was in possession of the wall itself.<a id='r1310' /><a href='#f1310' class='c009'><sup>[1310]</sup></a> The Anastasian
+Wall appears in history in connection with the attacks of the
+Huns and Avars, in the reigns of Justinian the Great,<a id='r1311' /><a href='#f1311' class='c009'><sup>[1311]</sup></a> Maurice,<a id='r1312' /><a href='#f1312' class='c009'><sup>[1312]</sup></a>
+and Heraclius.<a id='r1313' /><a href='#f1313' class='c009'><sup>[1313]</sup></a> But it cannot be said to have been of much
+service. The attempt to obstruct the march of the enemy, and
+to join issue with him at a distance from the city, was indeed a
+wise measure. It has been imitated by the recent establishment,
+nearer the city, of a chain of forts across the promontory, from
+Tchataldja to Derkos; a line of defence occupying a position
+which makes Constantinople, in the judgment of a competent
+military authority,<a id='r1314' /><a href='#f1314' class='c009'><sup>[1314]</sup></a> the best-fortified capital in the world. But
+the weakness of the Anastasian Wall was its great length,
+which required for its proper defence a larger garrison than the
+Empire was able to provide for the purpose.<a id='r1315' /><a href='#f1315' class='c009'><sup>[1315]</sup></a> And, of course,
+it was useless against an enemy advancing upon the capital by
+sea.<a id='r1316' /><a href='#f1316' class='c009'><sup>[1316]</sup></a> Traces of the wall are, it is said, visible at Koush Kaya
+and at Karadjakeui.</p>

+south, as superior in workmanship, came very near being removed to England, through
+the efforts of Sir Thomas Roe, ambassador to the Porte from 1621 to 1628,
+and of a certain Mr. Petty, who was sent to the East by the Earl of Arundel to
+procure works of Ancient Art. The finds were to be divided between that nobleman
+and the Duke of Buckingham. The correspondence on the subject will be found in <i>The
+Negotiations of Sir Thomas Roe in his Embassy to the Ottoman Porte</i>, published in
+London, 1740 (see pp. 386, 387, 444, 445, 495, 512, 534, 535); in Michaelis’ <i>Ancient
+Marbles in Great Britain</i>; and, partially, in Dr. Strzygowski’s <i>Monograph on the
+Golden Gate</i>.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>“Promise to obteyne them,” wrote Sir Thomas Roe, in May, 1625, “I cannot,
+because they stand upon the ancient gate, the most conspicuous of the cytte, though
+now mured up, beeing the entrance by the castell called the Seauen Towers, and
+neuer opened since the Greek emperors lost yt: to offer to steale them, no man dares
+to deface the cheefe seate of the grand signor: to procure them by fauour, is more
+impossible, such enuy they bear vnto us. There is only then one way left; by corruption
+of some churchman, to dislike them, as against their law; and vnder that
+pretence to take them downe to be brought into some priuat place; from whence,
+after the matter is cold and unsuspected, they may be conveyed. I haue practised
+for the four, and am offered to haue it done for 600 crownes.”</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>A year later he had to write, “Those on the Porta Aurea are like to stand, till
+they fall by tyme: I haue vsed all meanes, and once bought them, and deposed,
+3 moneths, 500 dollers. Without authority, the danger and impossibility were alike;
+therefore I dealt with the great treasurer, who in these tymes is greedy of any mony,
+and hee had consented to deliuer them into a boat without any hazard of my part.
+The last weeke hee rode himself to see them, and carried the surueigher of the citty
+walls with him; but the Castellano and the people beganne to mutine, and fell vpon
+a strange conceit; insomuch that hee was forced to retyre, and presently sent for my
+enterpreter, demanding if I had any old booke of prophesy: inferring, that those
+statues were enchanted, and that wee knew, when they should bee taken downe,
+some great alteration should befall this cytty.... In conclusion, hee sent to mee, to
+think, nor mention no more that place, which might cost his life, and bring mee into
+trouble; so that I despair to effect therein your graces seruice: and it is true, though
+I could not gett the stones, yet I allmost raised an insurrection in that part of the
+cytty.”</p>

+of its proximity to that church, and appears frequently in Byzantine history.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The district associated with the Church of St. Mamas (Zonaras, xvi. c. 5,
+ἐν τῇ κατὰ τὸ Στενὸν τοποθεσίᾳ τῇ τοῦ ἁγίου Μάμαντος καλουμένῃ) must have
+occupied the valley which extends from the Golden Horn southwards to the village
+of Ortakdjilar, the territory between Eyoub (Cosmidion) and Aivan Serai at the
+north-western angle of the city. The church itself, with its monastery (Cantacuzene,
+iv. pp. 107, 259), stood, probably, on the high ground near Ortakdjilar.
+Owing to its charming situation, the suburb was a favourite resort, and boasted
+of an Imperial palace, a hippodrome, a portico, a harbour, and, possibly, the
+bridge across the Golden Horn. The indications for the determination of the
+site of the suburb are: (1) it stood nearer the Golden Horn than the Gate
+of Charisius did; for in the military demonstration which Constantine Copronymus
+made before the land walls, against the rebel Artavasdes, by marching up and
+down between the Gate of Charisius and the Golden Gate, the emperor reached
+St. Mamas and encamped there, after passing the former entrance on his march
+northwards (Theophanes, pp. 645, 646). (2) The Hippodrome of St. Mamas
+was in Blachernæ (Ἐν Βλαχέρναις ... ἐν τῷ ἱππικῷ τοῦ ἁγίου Μάμαντος—Theophanes,
+p. 667), a term which could be used to designate even the district of the
+Cosmidion (<i>Paschal Chron.</i>, p. 725, τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τῶν ἁγίων Κοσμᾶ καὶ Δαμιανοῦ,
+ἐν Βλαχέρναις). (3) The suburb stood near the Cosmidion; hence the facility
+with which the Bulgarians under Crum were able to ravage St. Mamas from their
+camp near the Church SS. Cosmas and Damianus (Theophanes Cont., pp. 613, 614).
+(4) The suburb was near the water; for it had a harbour (Theophanes, p. 591).
+It is also described as situated on the Propontis (Genesius, p. 102), on the Euxine
+(Theophanes Cont., p. 197), on the Stenon, the Bosporus (Zonaras, <i>ut supra</i>), these
+names being applied in a wide sense. (5) At the same time the Church of St. Mamas
+stood near the walls (Zonaras, xiv. p. 1272, πλησίον τοῦ τείχους), and near the gate
+named Porta Xylokerkou (Cedrenus, i. p. 707). This does not necessarily imply
+that the church was immediately outside the gate, but it intimates that the church
+was at no very great distance from the gate, and could be easily reached from it;
+as, for example, the Church of the Pegè stands related to the Gate of Selivria (see
+above, p. <a href='#Page_73'>73</a>). Such language would be appropriate if a branch road leading to
+St. Mamas and the Golden Horn left the great road, parallel to the walls, at the
+point opposite the Porta Xylokerkou.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The suburb owed much to Leo the Great, who took up his residence there for six
+months, after the terrible conflagration which devastated the city in the twelfth year
+of his reign (<i>Paschal Chron.</i>, p. 598). To him are ascribed all the constructions for
+which the suburb was celebrated; the harbour and portico (<i>Paschal Chron.</i>, <i>ut supra</i>),
+the church, the palace, and the hippodrome (Anonymus, iii. pp. 57, 58; Codinus,
+p. 115). The Church of St. Mamas is, however, ascribed also to an officer in the
+reign of Justinian the Great, and to the sister of the Emperor Maurice (see Du Cange,
+<i>Constantinopolis Christiana</i>, iv. p. 185). There Maurice and his family were buried,
+after their execution by Phocas (Codinus, p. 121). The palace was frequented by
+Michael III., and there he was murdered by Basil I. (Theophanes Cont., p. 210).
+To it the Empress Irene and her son Constantine VI. retired from the city on the
+occasion of the severe earthquake of 790 (Theophanes, pp. 719, 720), and in it the
+marriage of Constantine VI. with Theodota was celebrated (<i>Ibid.</i> p. 728). It was
+burnt down by Crum of Bulgaria (<i>Ibid.</i> pp. 785, 786), but must have been rebuilt
+soon, for Theophilus took up his quarters there on the eve of his first triumphal
+entrance into the city (Constant. Porphyr., <i>De Cer.</i>, p. 504). The hippodrome may
+have been, originally, the one which Constantine the Great constructed of wood,
+outside the city, and in which the adherents of Chrysostom assembled after the
+bishop’s deposition (Sozomon, viii. c. 21, συνήθον πρὸ τοῦ ἄστεος εἰς τινα χῶρον
+ὅν Κωνσταντίνος ὁ Βασιλεὺς, μήπω τὴν πόλιν συνοικήσας, εἰς ἱπποδρόμου
+θέαν ἐκάθηρε, ξύλοις περιτειχίσας). There Michael III. took part in chariot races
+(Theophanes Cont., p. 197; cf. Theophanes, p. 731). Crum carried away some of
+the works of Art which adorned it (Theophanes, pp. 785, 786). The harbour of
+St. Mamas appears as the station of a fleet in the struggle between Anastasius II.
+and Theodosius III. (Theophanes, pp. 591, 592), and in the struggle between
+Artavasdes and Constantine Copronymus (<i>Ibid.</i>, pp. 645, 646).</p>

+(491-518), when a nun residing near it was mobbed and killed for sharing the
+emperor’s heretical opinions (Zonaras, xiv. c. 3, p. 1220, Migne). This is another
+evidence of its Theodosian origin. It must have stood in the portion of the Theodosian
+Walls that still remain, for it is mentioned in the reign of John Cantacuzene.</p>

+is now regarded as that of St. Basil (Patriarch Constantius, <i>Ancient and Modern
+Consple.</i>, p. 44). Whether the church should be identified with the Church of St.
+Nicholas, τὰ Βασιλίδου (Codinus, p. 125, Paspates, p. 34), is doubtful.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>The Cosmidion, now Eyoub, obtained its name from the celebrated Church and
+Monastery of SS. Cosmas and Damianus in the district. The church was founded by
+Paulinus, the friend of Theodosius II., and the victim of his jealousy, and is therefore
+sometimes described as ἐν τοῖς Παυλίνου. It stood on the hill at the head of the
+Golden Horn, commanding the most beautiful view of the harbour, and constituted,
+with the walls around it, an acropolis (Procopius, <i>De Æd.</i> i. c. 6). It was restored
+by Justinian the Great, and was famed for miraculous cures. The two saints had
+been what would now be termed “medical missionaries,” and exercised their art
+gratuitously; hence, their epithet Ἀνάργυροι (without money). Owing to the strategical
+position of the monastery, it was frequently seized by assailants of the city, as,
+for example, by the Avars (<i>Paschal Chron.</i>, p. 725), and by the rebel Thomas (Theophanes
+Cont., p. 59). It was granted to Bohemond by Alexius Comnenus, and was
+consequently known as the Castle of Bohemond (William of Tyre, ii. pp. 84, 85).
+Andronicus II. Palæologus dismantled the fortress, lest it should be used by the
+Catalans (Pachymeres, vol. ii. p. 592).</p>

+Phrantzes describes the post held by the Cretans as consisting of more than one tower
+(p. 101, τῶν πύργων), and as a single tower (p. 288, τοῦ πύργου). (1) Is the
+plural number to be understood literally or rhetorically? (2) Is the Basil associated
+by Phrantzes with Leo and Alexius (Alexander) their father, Basil I., or does the
+historian refer to Basil II. and the tower erected by that emperor? If the former
+alternative be adopted, only one tower was concerned in the matter, and the name of
+Basil I. must have dropped out of the inscription of Leo and Alexander when the
+tower, as the reversed position of part of the inscription proved, was injured and
+repaired. If, on the other hand, the historian, in referring to the tower of Basil,
+had the tower of Basil II. in view, then more than one tower was defended by the
+Cretans. It should be added that Phrantzes (p. 254) speaks of the crew of a Cretan
+ship as defending the fortifications near the Beautiful Gate, on the Golden Horn (see
+below, pp. <a href='#Page_221'>221</a>, <a href='#Page_222'>222</a>), and this may be thought to imply that the tower or towers he
+had in mind stood beside the harbour. But as three ships (p. 238) from Crete were
+present at the siege, Cretans could be found taking part in the defence at different
+points. The tower of Leo and Alexander has disappeared.</p>

+to be the work of Michael Palæologus. His argument for the opinion that the
+Seraglio grounds were enclosed by walls before the Turkish Conquest, and formed,
+after 1261, part of the domain attached to the palace of the Byzantine emperors, is the
+statement of Cantacuzene (iii. pp. 47, 66) that the Church of St. Demetrius stood
+within the palace (τῶν βασιλείων ἐντὸς). That church Dr. Paspates identified with
+the Church of St. Demetrius, near the Seraglio Point; hence his conclusion that the
+territory about that point was included in the grounds of the Byzantine palace. But
+Dr. Paspates must have forgotten, for a moment, that the Church of St. Demetrius,
+which formed the chapel of the emperors, was not near the Seraglio Point, but near
+the Pharos and the Chrysotriclinium of the Great Palace, buildings placed by Dr.
+Paspates himself at Domus-Dama, a short distance to the east of the Hippodrome,
+and to the west of the Seraglio enclosure. See his work on the Great Palace,

+who visited Constantinople about 1350, found a gate near the sea, and beside a Church
+of St. Demetrius, named “Portes Juives,” on account of the many Jews settled in the
+vicinity. From the connection in which the fact is mentioned, it appears that the
+gate stood on the Marmora side of the city, somewhere in the neighbourhood of
+Vlanga; thus showing how the same name might belong to different gates at different
+periods in the history of the city. Nicolo Barbaro (p. 817) confirms the existence of
+a Jewish quarter on the Marmora shore of the city, when he says that the Turkish
+fleet, finding itself unable to force the chain across the harbour, abandoned the
+attempt, and proceeded to the side towards the Dardanelles (“de la band del Dardanelo”),
+and there landed to plunder the Jewish quarter (“muntò in tera de la banda
+de la Zudeca”). It is possible, indeed, to contend that the Russian pilgrim referred to
+a gate near the Church of St. Demetrius beside the Seraglio Point. This view does
+not affect the argument presented in the text.</p>

+although the historians do not refer to it particularly.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>In the garden of a Turkish house to the north of the lower palace, a portion of a
+Byzantine wall, about 130 feet in length and 40 feet high, is found standing. It was
+discovered, when walls and houses in the neighbourhood were demolished for the
+construction of the Roumelian Railway, and was then pierced by a very large vaulted
+gateway, over 18 feet high, supported by four great marble columns. Gate and
+columns have disappeared. If produced southwards, the wall would join the tower
+at the eastern end of the lower palace; while if produced northwards, the wall would
+abut against the retaining wall of the terrace on which the Mosque of Sultan Achmet
+and its courtyards are built. The wall is pierced with loopholes, facing <i>east</i>, and
+behind them a passage runs along the rear of the wall, through arches occurring at
+intervals.</p>
+
+<p class='c008'>Dr. Paspates (p. 120) regarded the wall as part of the Peridromi of Marcian (see
+Labarte, <i>Le Palais Impérial de Consple.</i>, p. 214), attached to the Great Palace. But
+this view of its character is not consistent with the fact that the loopholes look eastwards.
+That fact indicates that the wall belonged to the Palaces of the Bucoleon
+which stood to the rear. The gate in the wall, likewise, shows that these palaces
+were separated from the area of the Great Palace. May the wall not have turned
+westwards, at its present northern extremity, to protect the Palaces of the Bucoleon
+along the north, and then southwards, to connect with the city wall at Tchatlady
+Kapou, and protect the palaces on the west? This, with the city wall along the
+southern front of the palaces, would put them within a fortified enclosure of
+their own.</p>

+Tower, affirming that it was in this tower where that great and famous commander,

+(<i>Synaxaria</i>, June 4; <i>Itinéraires Russes en Orient</i>, p. 106); (3) near the Residence of
+Moselè (Μωσηλὲ), and the monument named the Christocamaron (Χριστοκάμαρον),
+after a gilt Icon of Christ upon it (Anonymus, ii. p. 38). (4) The Christocamaron, it
+is supposed, was the same as the Chrysocamaron (Χρυσοκάμαρον: Anonymus, iii.
+p. 48). Supporters of that identity are Banduri (<i>Imp. Orient.</i>, ii. p. 688) and Dr.
+Mordtmann (p. 59). (5) The Chrysocamaron stood to the rear of the Myrelaion
+(Anonymus, iii. p. 48). (6) The Myrelaion was the church, now the Mosque Boudroum
+Djamissi (Gyllius, <i>De Top. CP.</i>, iii. c. 8; Patriarch Constantius, <i>Ancient and Modern
+Consple.</i>, p. 75). (7) Therefore, the Church of St. Acacius was situated to the rear,
+or to the east of Boudroum Djamissi. There are two weak points in this chain of arguments;
+Codinus (pp. 107, 108) distinguishes the two monuments which are identified
