Column of Arcadius, Victory column in Cerrahpaşa, Turkey.
The Column of Arcadius features a massive marble base with eight layers and decorative reliefs depicting military campaigns against the Goths in ancient Constantinople.
Construction of this monumental structure began in 401 CE and concluded in 421 CE, commemorating Emperor Arcadius's military victories over Gothic forces.
The column's spiral reliefs narrate scenes of military triumphs through detailed carvings, following the Roman tradition of commemorating emperors through monumental architecture.
Located on the Seventh Hill of Constantinople, known as Xerolophos, the remaining base structure stands at 11 meters high in modern Istanbul.
A bronze statue of Emperor Arcadius once topped the 40-meter column until an earthquake in 740 CE caused its collapse.
