I can confirm, you ARE now able to visit the golden gate. I went there today and was giddily surprised to see that not only was the Yedikule Hisari museum open, but that you can walk in front of and up to the top of the golden gate. The cost was 100 Turkish Lira as of July 2023 and ABSOLUTELY worth it for any Byzantine history fan or anyone interested in history or architecture.
I was there in 2013 and at that time I could walk on top of the Golden Gate. It just was no way to go through the gate to the other side. I had to go there through the cemetery. I heard that the reason for that was that the sultan who conquered the Constantinople was so superstitious that he permanently closed the doors. He was afraid of the last roman emperor to come in through the gate.
One of the most thrilling historical novels, set in the Byzantine Greek Empire, during the last Siege of Constantinople, is “The Dark Angel” (original title Johannes Angelos), of prominent Finnish writer, Mika Waltari. Truly epic.

Ancient walls surrounded by modern streetlights, airplanes in the sky, and a Deadpool 2 poster from 2018. There's something like an odd continuity about it.
Part of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Byzantine Greek origin, the Theodosian walls along with the earlier land walls of Constantine the Great, are still standing for centuries. A living testimony of the glorious Byzantine Empire.

Johnny, since you are interested in the millennial Byzantine Empire, you already know that Greeks were the predominant ethnic group in the region of Constantinople and Asia Minor, already for a millennium before the Roman Empire emerged. They never vanished from their native lands. Roman citizenship did not determine ethnic background at the time. Some monumental works regarding the Byzantine Greek Empire by three masters of Byzantine History, include; Warren Treadgold; “A Concise History of Byzantium”, “A History of the Byzantine State and Society”, “Byzantium and Its Army, 284-1081”, “The Byzantine Revival, 780-842”. Gustav Schlumberger; “Un empereur byzantin au dixieme siecle: Nicephore Phocas”, “Byzance et les croisades”, “Récits de Byzance et des croisades”, “ Le siege la prise et le sac de Constantinople par les Turcs en 1453”. Sir Steven Runciman; “Byzantine Civilization”, “The Fall of Constantinople 1453”, “The Great Church in Captivity: A Study of the Patriarchate of Constantinople from the Eve of the Turkish Conquest to the Greek War of Independence”, “Byzantine Style and Civilization”, “The Last Byzantine Renaissance”. All epic.

14:22... actually from WIKIPWDIA: Leo IV was born on 25 January 750 AD,[2] to Emperor Constantine V and his first wife, Empress Tzitzak who had been given the Christian name Eirene.[3] Because his mother was a Khazar, Leo was given the epithet 'the Khazar'.[4] Leo was elevated to co-emperor in 751, while still an infant.[3] He became emperor on 14 September 775, after Constantine V died while campaigning against the Bulgarian Empire.[5][6]

WHY did the Eastern Romans use this sequence to date their years??
I think the second wall was built in part because the population was expanding too fast for the old walls to enclose them.
About the inscription on the wall, what language did it write on the wall, Latin, perhaps 🤔?
All inscriptions are in Greek except the one where I point out it's in Latin
please tell the Greeks that it was a ROMAN empire and not a GREEK empire. Thanks. @@TheHistoryofByzantiumPodcast
