History
The Forum of the Ox was located on the Mese thoroughfare between the Forum of Arcadius and Taurian (or Theodosian) Forum, about 2 km from the Hagia Sophia. The Forum was named after its central monument, a large antique bronze furnace in the shape of an ox's head taken from Pergamum.
Hardly anything is left from this forum. The Forum of the Ox was situated on the site of the present Aksaray Square.
