The Mese (which just means "Middle Street") is the Main Street through the southern part of Constantinople, from the Golden Gate to the Hippodrome (the center of the city).

For extra information: the simple map below labels each forum we talked about in class (note: the pural of forum is fora because the word is in Latin).

• The Forum of Arcadius: built in 421, with a massive column residents could climb up inside
• The Forum of the Ox
• The Forum of Theodosius: build in 393, also with a massive column residents could climb
• The Forum of Constantine: built in 330, with a massive column, and the senate house
