The Column of Constantine (or Burnt Column) (Turkish: Çemberlitas sütunu, from çemberli 'hooped' and tas 'stone') is a Roman monumental column constructed on the orders of the Roman emperor Constantine the Great in 330 AD. It commemorates the declaration of Byzantium (renamed by Constantine as Nova Roma) as the new capital city of the Roman Empire. The column is located on Yeniçeriler Caddesi in central Istanbul, along the old Divan Yolu (the 'Road to the Imperial Council') between Sultanahmet and Beyazit Square (known as Forum Tauri in the Roman period.)
