About Column of Marcian
The Column of Marcian is a Roman honorific column erected in Constantinople by the praefectus urbi Tatianus and dedicated to the Emperor Marcian (450–57). It is located in the present-day Fatih district of Istanbul. The column is not documented in any late Roman or Byzantine source and its history has to be inferred from its location, style and dedicatory inscription.
