Scope and Content Part of a series of images from the survey 1902-1906 carried out by F.W. Hasluck at Cyzicus and surrounding territory in Anatolia, under the auspices of the British School at Athens. The original description in the SPHS register reads: "Sultan Chair (Macestus Valley) Roman bridge, detail".
Notes Probably taken between 1902 and 1906 by Hasluck when he states he was involved with the site and territory of Cyzicus in his 1910 monograph (Cyzicus: Being Some Account of the History and Antiquities of that City, Cambridge: CUP).
