EDITORS COMMENTS
Greetings from Constantinople, now modern-day Istanbul, Turkey! This early 20th century postcard presents a captivating image of the Burnt Column of Emperor Constantine, a significant historical landmark in this vibrant city. The Roman Emperor Constantine the Great declared Byzantium as the new capital city of the Roman Empire in 330 AD, and this column was built to commemorate the momentous occasion. The column, originally made of marble, is depicted here as if it were a sliced pear, with its intricate design and ornate pip resembling the fruit's core. The column's burnt appearance is a result of the fires that raged through Constantinople during the Nika Riots in 532 AD. Despite the damage, the column remains a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of this city. Byzantium, later renamed Constantinople, was a crucial center of trade, politics, and culture for centuries. Its strategic location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia made it a melting pot of diverse influences, shaping the city into the vibrant metropolis it is today. As you hold this postcard in your hands, imagine the stories it could tell if it could speak. The Burnt Column of Emperor Constantine stands as a reminder of the city's storied past and its enduring allure. So, take a bite, or rather, a peek into the history of Istanbul!
