Byzantine Constantinople, the walls of the city and adjoining historical sites
Byzantine Constantinople: The Walls of the City and Adjoining Historical Sites, published in 1899, is the work of Alexander van Millingen, professor of history at Robert College, who spent years walking and measuring the fortifications of the city. After chapters on the site and the limits of Constantine's city, he describes the Theodosian land walls with their inner and outer walls, terraces and moat, each of the gates from the Golden Gate northward, the repairs recorded in inscriptions, the palace of the Porphyrogenitus, the walls of Manuel Comnenus, Heraclius and Leo, the Blachernae quarter and the so-called prison of Anemas, the sea walls along the Golden Horn and the Marmara, the harbors, the Hebdomon and the Anastasian wall. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
