	Walls
		Five different sets of walls have been built around the city of Constantinople, the most important of which was the last, built under the reign of Theodosius II, who came to power in 408 AD.
		Also known as the wall of Anthemius, it was erected in 413 AD, and stretched across the peninsula, protecting the city from a land invasion.
		Dimensions of the walls were taken partly from first hand measurements of the walls in present day Istanbul and partly from various resources on the Princeton Campus.
