Abstract (en)

Discusses the antique sculpture and other monuments set up in the Hippodrome ca.324-450 (the collection was lost during the sack of 1204), dividing them into four groups pertinent to both athletic and political concerns: apotropaia; victory monuments; public figures; and images of Rome. Argues that, through the use of this spolia, Constantinople was describing itself as the New Rome.
