The Palace of the Emperor Constantine

Once through the gate, you would see a sprawling collection of buildings and gardens connected by porticoat walkways. The guards quarters would appear first, the scolare's were the official palace garden or splendid uniforms to denote their rank. Beyond them were the quarters of the ex-cubitors who were the real imperial muscle. And beyond that were the summer and winter constestoriums, two adjoining buildings where the emperor held meetings with the senate and senior ministers.
