PALACE OF EMPERORS

In Great Palace, surrounded by high walls, existed representative buildings and halls for banquets (Ηαλκες, Magnatura, "Tribunal of 19 beds"), like halls at Δάφνη palace. Some other buildings, erected outside the walls, like Justinian's Ηρηζώτρικλήνη, have never been considered as an Emperor's private rooms.
