Summary

A comprehensive analysis of the Constantine Wall's course between the Marmara Sea and the Bono Sink, along with its gates and streets, reveals significant insights into Byzantine urban planning and fortification strategies. The study employs a combination of archaeological evidence, historical texts, and epigraphic data to reconstruct the wall's trajectory and assess its role in defending Constantinople during the late Roman and early Byzantine periods. Additionally, it examines the Charisiostor gate on the Theodosian Land Wall, providing new perspectives on its function and chronology. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the architectural and defensive evolution of Constantinople, offering valuable data for heritage conservation efforts at UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as the Monasteries of Daphni, Hosios Loukas, and Nea Moni of Chios.
