Ο ιππόδρομος της Θεσσαλονίκης - The hippodrome of Thessaloniki

Показать описание
Ο ιππόδρομος αποτελούσε έναν σημαντικό χώρο ψυχαγωγίας των Θεσσαλονικέων της ρωμαϊκής και της πρώιμης βυζαντινής περιόδου, καθώς εδώ παρακολουθούσαν τις δημοφιλείς για την εποχή αρματοδρομίες. Εκτός αυτών, ο ιππόδρομος ήταν και χώρος διαμαρτυρίας απέναντι στην πολιτική εξουσία. Στον ιππόδρομο της Θεσσαλονίκης έγινε μία τέτοια εξέγερση, με τραγική κατάληξη. Στη σύγχρονη πόλη ανιχνεύουμε τα όποια απομεινάρια σώζονται και θυμίζουν ένα σημαντικό σημείο συνάντησης των ανθρώπων της πόλης.
The hippodrome was an important place of entertainment for the Thessalonians during the Roman and early Byzantine era, as they were watching there the famous chariot races. The hippodrome was also a place for protest against the political authority. Actually, such a protest broke out in the city, with a tragic end. The remnants of this once important meeting point of Thessaloniki are being detected in modern city.
