Scope and Content | View of interior columns. This is a commercial photo. The photograph was found along with 7 more by the same creator/artist inside a copy of 'A Letter to the Right Honourable Lord Aldenham upon the subject of a Byzantine Evangelion' by Edwin Freshfield. |
Further information | The cistern must have been constructed in the first quarter of the 7th c. (consul Bonus died in 627). The exact location of it in Byzantine Constantinople still remains puzzling. |
