	Anastasian Long Walls images
		Similar modelling techniques have been applied to the study of the Anastasian Long Wall, the late Roman linear fortification which ran for some 56 km from the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara, an outer defence system for the city of Constantinople.
		The survey data has been used as a footprint for modelling a sector of the wall, integrated with 1:25000 digital map data to provide a landscape context.
		The relationship of wall to ditch was surveyed in detail for this sector.

		The Anastasian Wall (Turkish: Anastasius Suru) or the Long Walls of Thrace (Uzun Duvar) is an ancient, stone and turf fortification located 65 km west of Istanbul, Turkey built by the Byzantines during the late 5th century.
		The wall was part of an additional outer defense system for Constantinople, capital of the Eastern Roman Empire and probably continued in use until the 7th century.
		It is known that the wall had only a limited effectiveness, and the barbarians penetrated it many times, because the fortification's length made it difficult to defend the wall completely by a limited garrison, and also because the wall was not sufficient strong due to its construction in hurry.

	Humbul Record : Anastasian wall project 1998
		The monument known as the Long Walls of Thrace or the Anastasian Wall lies 65 km west of Istanbul and stretched from the Black Sea coast across the peninsula to the coast of the sea of Marmara to the west of Silivri.
		The Wall is part of the additional defences for Constantinople constructed during the fifth century AD, which continued in use until the seventh century.
		The aims of the project are to study and record the surviving structure of the Wall; investigate the remains of aqueducts and water channels, examine associated remains of forts and other structures, study the settlement archaeology of the Wall and its environs.

	Anastasius I (emperor) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anastasius afterwards built the strong fortress of Daras to hold Nisibis in check.
		The Balkan provinces were devastated by invasions of Slavs and Bulgarians; to protect Constantinople and its vicinity against them he built the Anastasian Wall, extending from the Propontis to the Euxine.
		The emperor was a convinced Monophysite, but his ecclesiastical policy was moderate; he endeavoured to maintain the principle of the Henotikon of Zeno and the peace of the church.

	AHRB Centre for Byzantine Cultural History - Constantinople project
		The Anastasian Wall Project (Crow, Bardill and Bayliss) is the most developed part of this project.
		The publication of the first monograph concerned with the Anastasian Wall will be complete by 2001 and the study of the water supply will follow in 2004.
		By situating the textual and visual evidence within its wider archaeological and topographical context this reflexive approach will enable specialists from different fields, aware of the strengths and limitations of their own sources, to work together at annual day schools and seminars on new interpretations into the sacred and ceremonial activities of the city.

	The Defences of Nicaea
		But, apart from the fact that they resemble the land walls of Constantinople both in structure and disposition, it is not without significance that Procopius, in dealing with the subject at length, does not mention the fortifications in his descriptions of Justinian's works at Nicaea 1 (Procopius, Of the Buildings of Justinian, Bk.
		V.) Nicaea is surrounded by a double line of walls, the inner wall of great thickness and height, and the outer lower and less substantial.
		Both walls are bilt of stone with brick lacing courses, and are strengthened by towers, placed at frequent intervals, the towers being so spaced that those in one wall stand opposite to an interval in the other.

		In the reign of Theodosios II the Land Walls were exyended about 1.5 km to the west so as to describe a huge arch, six km long, extending from the Propontis to the Golden Horn.
		The walls are built with bonded masonry with bands of cut-stone facing, enclosing a core of mortared rubble, six main gates pierce the Land Walls, including the Golden gate and a number of secondary posterns.
		Also called the Long Walls or the Wall of Anastasios I, there are a system of fortifications erected west of Constantinople and extending a distance of two days journey.

		On the west side of the valley, on the opposite side to the restored channel, we were shown rock-cut containers excavated in an outcrop of limestone on the valley side.
		This is a major karst spring located to the west of Ihsaniye and within the line of the Anastasian Wall.
		We had studied the spring and the immediate channels as part of our survey of the wall but only in 2002 did we begin to understand how it was connected to the main water supply to the city (see map).

		University of Newcastle researchers are studying the 5th century barrier known as the Long Wall, which extends from Thrace to the Black Sea.
		The 40-mile-long structure protected the Eastern Roman empire for at least two centuries, but in later years, the wall was used as a source of limestone.
		Built around 1500 years ago to keep the barbarian hordes away, but out of bounds or forgotten for centuries, Turkey's Long Walls are emerging from the thickets and brambles of eastern Thrace.

	Humbul Record : Water supply of Constantinople and the Anastasian Wall project
		The second project focuses upon the 5th to 7th century defences west of Istanbul known as the Anastasian Wall or the Long Walls of Thrace.The 'Water Supply of Constantinople'; pages provide access to a large amount of information regarding the hydro-engineering undertaken by the Emperor Valens and his successors around Istanbul.
		By investigating the changes in water supply and demand, the project aims to gain a better understanding of the life and development of the medieval city.The 'Anastasian Wall' pages discuss the project's aims and accomplishments, whilst also presenting information about the structure's background and history.
		A major facet of the project is the surveying of the remaining wall portions, the results of which are discussed by splitting the wall into north, central and south sections.

		Originally the Wall was 50 km long, but less than half of the total length now survives above ground.
		It is best preserved in the rolling woodland of the northern sector where the Wall stands 4m in height.
		As it survives it is the most monumental linear fortification dating from antiquity in continental Europe, comparable only with Hadrian's Wall in its complexity and preservation.

		In places the Wall survives up to 5 m high, but for the most part it lies obscured deep within the forests of central and northern Thrace, together with its associated forts, an outer ditch and a complement of massive towers.

		The camera looks east, along the wall from a point just west of its intersection with the Roman fort at Housesteads.
		Although it is one of the most well known Roman monuments in Britain, the wall — together with other Roman sites in the area — persist as an active focus of research. [ read article ]

	Slought Foundation: "me altar's egoes" with William Anastasi
		Anastasi photographed the empty gallery at Dwan, noticed the parameters of the Wall, top and bottom, right and left, the placement of each electrical outlet, the ocean of space in the middle.
		He then silkscreened all this data on a canvas slightly smaller than the wall and put it on the wall.
		Covering the wall with an image of that wall delivers a work of art right into the zone where surface, mural and wall have engaged in dialogues central to modernism."

		This is just one example of many segments of the Anastasian wall, which stretched between the Marmara Sea and the Black Sea as part of the defense system of Constantinople in the 6th century.
		It was built by the emperor Anastasius and was maintained and then abandoned by his successors Justin I and Justinian I. You can barely make out the wall under the carpet of green, but you can definitely see the ditch which still lays before it.
