{"product_id":"the-walls-of-constantinople","title":"The Walls Of Constantinople","description":"\u003cp\u003eRomance and the history of walled cities are inseparable. Who has not felt this to be so at the sight of hoary ruins lichen-clad and ivy-mantled, that proudly rear their battered crests despite the ravages of time and man’s destructive instincts. It is within walled cities that the life of civilized man began: the walls guarded him against barbarian foes, behind their shelter he found the security necessary to his cultural development, in their defence he showed his finest qualities. And such a city—and such a history is that of Ancient Byzantium, the City of Constantine, the Castle of Cæsar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat wonder then that man should endeavour to express by pen and pencil his sense of the greatness and beauty, the Romance of a Walled City such as Constantinople. The more so that a movement is on foot to remove these ancient landmarks of the history of Europe and Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kanon Kitap","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43109317967970,"sku":"9786057087966","price":300.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/0881\/2386\/files\/thewallsofconstantinople.png?v=1783805730","url":"https:\/\/www.arkeolojisanat.com\/products\/the-walls-of-constantinople","provider":"Arkeoloji ve Sanat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
