CONCERNING THE ROTUNDA AT “MYRELAION” IN CONSTANTINOPLE.

ISTANBUL (Turkey); THESSALONIKE (Greece)

The architectural study and analysis of ancient monuments help us in their complete understanding and classification in modern science. The monumental architecture of ancient Constantinople is one of the topics that is not only not sufficiently studied, but also has not found its rightful place in today's architecture and archeology. An important monument built in the late antique City is the rotunda at “Myrelaion”. After carefully collecting data from the various research activities and excavations, we can find its parallels in the Capitol in Rome, but also in the Rotunda of Galerius in Thessaloniki. The overall analysis allows us to hypothetically determine its height, and the type of dome, but also helps us to place it on the worthy second place in size among the domed halls in the world and first place in Constantinople. The transition of the function of the rotunda as a type of building for religious needs to representative ones is also noted [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
