Three aspects of Byzantine life that stands out is religious, royal intrigue and popular circuses spectacular (magic).
City life was centered around three important buildings: the group Hypodrom building, the Palace of the holy empire and the Church of Hagia Sophia, where the three buildings represent three elements, namely the people of the Byzantine world, the emperor of power and religion. The third building is located adjacent and connected by matching Mese or middle way, a way has always worked with and used for religious ceremonies (protocol roads leading to important buildings).
