They were rewarded by Byzantine ceramics, early Turkish faience and discovery of the fact that the "spina" of ancient hippodromes was not always a wall running down the centre of the arena. In Constantino's hippodrome, at least, the "spina" was replaced by a wall of separated monuments. Among these were a 50-foot Egyptian obelisk originally 94 feet...
