Magnaura

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Magnaura was a large building in ancient Constantinople that housed the Senate. It was located close to the Hagia Sophia and the Great Palace. A large gate, described by Prokopius, probably made out of marble led into a courtyard where the Magnaura was enclosed in.
