Greetings all,

On this day we reflect on the walls of Constantinople being severely damaged by an earthquake on October 6th in 447 AD:


Large parts of the structure including 57 towers were lost. Emperor Theodosius II ordered Constantine, the praetorian prefect of the East to supervise repairs. He employed the city's demoi (circus factions) in the the work and rebuilt the walls with in 60 days.

Go Greens! Go Blues!  :)
