Which was built first, the Theodosius Cistern or the German Fountain?
Theodosius Cistern The Theodosius Cistern (Greek: Κινστέρνα Θεοδοσίου , Turkish: Şerefiye Sarnıcı ) is one of many ancient cisterns of Constantinople that lie beneath the city of Istanbul, Turkey. The modern entrance is in Piyer Loti Caddesi, Fatih.
Chrysotriklinos The Chrysotriklinos (Greek: Χρυσοτρίκλινος , "golden reception hall", cf. "triclinium"), Latinized as Chrysotriclinus or Chrysotriclinium, was the main reception and ceremonial hall of the Great Palace of Constantinople from its construction, in the late 6th century, until the 10th century. Its appearance is known only through literary descriptions, chiefly the 10th-century "De Ceremoniis", a collection of imperial ceremonies, but, as the chief symbol of imperial power, it inspired the construction of Charlemagne's Palatine Chapel in Aachen.
