Areopagus Volume XVII

Seven short lessons every someday.

Welcome one and all to the seventeeth volume of Areopagus. That train I had to catch last week was to Istanbul. I was only there for a few days, but this was my view as I wrote threads on Twitter: the majestic Blue Mosque of Sultan Ahmed.

And so I've decided to theme this week's volume of Areopagus around the city of Istanbul, which of course includes its former identities of Byzantium and Constantinople. Haydi Gidelim!
