[edit]According to the Notitia Urbis Constantinopolitanae, a compiled list of the buildings and monuments of the city written in the mid 5th century, Constantinople was divided into fourteen regions. The first twelve divided the territory contained inside the Walls of Constantine, the thirteenth (XIII) region designated the settlement of Sycae, later known as Galata, across the Golden Horn, and the fourteenth (XIV) district encompassed the entirety of area of the city between the Constantinian and Theodosian Walls, also known as the Theodosian Expansion.[1]
