Lausus of Constantinople

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lausus, (c. 400 A.D. - c. 450 A.D.) was a eunuch of the court of Theodosius II, famous for acquiring a palace and a large collection of art and sculptures.[1] He also served as imperial chamberlain between 420 and 422 AD.

The Palace of Lausos, destroyed in the fourth century, was supplied by the now-preserved Binbirdirek Cistern in Istanbul.
