Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Hippodrome of Constantinople: And Its Still Existing Monuments
M�tiers closes its southern end barracks and a prison are among its boundaries on the west. Three monuments, an Egyptian obelisk, a broken twisted serpent, and a crumbling pillar built of stone, stand along its centre like tombstones in the graveyard of a dead past.
