Emperor Theodosius in the Kathisma (royal box of the circus) receiving homage from kneeling captives. He is flanked by Valentinian II ruler of the western part of the Roman Empire, and his two sons Honorius and Arcadius, future emperors of the divided Empire. Below them are the spectators of the circus. Marble bas-relief. Base of the Obelisk of Theodosius or Egyptian Obelisk (Dikilitas in Turkish). Late imperial Roman 395-396 CE. This carving is believed to have been sculpted by the "Master A" of this monument. This carving is believed to have been sculpted by the "Master B" of this monument during the reign of Arcadius. The hieratic style of his art brought some scholars to call him the first Byzantine artist.

Location Obelisk of Theodosius I, Hippodrome/Istanbul/Turkey
