Wot? Eh? Does he mean all the scholae palatinae? Surely not? MP Speidel continues to amaze, apparently...

I was in Istanbul last summer, and searched for this relief without success - I went all around the building, and I could find nothing - just one fragment (not this one) poking out of the grass at the front.
Unless the reliefs have been moved to a different location, they are currently entombed under either concrete or opaque perspex.
