Geschichte ien StaaThe Urban Byzantine HouseThe foundation of Constantinople in 324 A,D. by Constantine I on the basis of economic and political criteria symbolized the official recognition of the economic supremacy of the East. Already in the 6th century Constantinople had become a universal economic center, a position kept until the 12th century. The wealfti accumulated in the byzantine capital was incredible for its time. As a result, the display of wealth and power found its best expression in luxurious houses. The cities, as far as we know, display in general, the strict town-planning of the roman tradition. The urban houses had often two. three or even four stories. The recent discovery of an early Christian house in Thessaloniki (fig. 1). which according to the present dafa must have been used tram the 5th to the 9th century, proves valid the above remark. A quite complicated legislation decree! the building regulations as far as the formation of the facade and the relation of neighbouring houses were concerned. The construction materials must have been cheap, that is stones, mud and wood, since fire has perished almost everything in these buildings. The cheap urban buildings reflected the baa economic situation. The (acade: in the years of prosperity special attention must have been paid to the house facades. The various construction methods and ihe marbles colours and mosaics employed tor the decoration of facades must have created a pleasant view tor the people. The yard: judging from the plan of the ption of space prevailed in the early Christian years. The interior yard surrounded by rooms and the garden w the c . ate ml-a; :: many people in the cities made such an expansion in space a luxury. The stories: most people lived in simple houses, while the two, three or four-storied houses remained the privilege of the rich and the arisfocracy. The rooms: the "triclinuiTr was the main room of the house and it was used only by the males ot the family. Around this core were arranged the other rooms of the house. Some of them were exclusively used Oy women, other served the everyday needs of the people, like the kitchen, the dining-room, the closet etc. Later, when the space of the byzantine house shrank, the triclinum became the substitute for more of the above rooms14. | . > . ) at 16.
