Constantinople's Coliseum, also known as the Hippodrome of Constantinople, was an ancient Chariot Racing stadium and the sporting and social center of the Byzantine Empire. Built by Emperor Septimius Severus in the early 3rd century AD, it could accommodate tens of thousands of spectators and featured a variety of events, including chariot races and public games. The Hippodrome was adorned with monuments, such as the Obelisk of Theodosius and the Serpent Column, and played a significant role in the political and cultural life of the city until its decline in the Ottoman period. Today, the site is a public square known as Sultanahmet Square.
