Forum of Arcadius
Forum of Arcadius

Built by and dedicated to the fifth-century Byzantine Emperor, Arcadius, this forum lay just east of the city walls built by Emperor Constantine the Great. Like most Roman and Byzantine forums, it too contained a column dedicated to its founders, although all that remains of it today are a few broken stones.

Eventually converted into a small Bazaar by the Ottomans, the Forum of Arcadius - located in one of the poorer districts of the city - was often used for the auctioning of slaves.
