Column of Julianus or the popularly known Belkıs Minaresi;[1][2][3][4] It is a Victory column (or rather Monumental column) located in the Ulus district of Ankara, Turkey.[5][6]
History
[edit | edit source]Julianus, the last pagan Roman emperor,[7] declared war on the Persians in 362 and created a route that would pass through Ankara. Upon the news that the emperor would take a break on the way to the expedition and stay in the city, preparations began in the whole city and the Julianus Column was erected to honor him.[8][9][10] The Column of Julianus, which did not undergo any repairs or renovations for many years, was restored by the governorship in 2001.[11][12]
Architectural features
[edit | edit source]The column, which has a height of about 15 metres (50 ft), was built using masonry.[13][14]
