Another nail in the coffin of the theory that the reliefs built into the foundations of the Beyazit Hamam came from the Column of Arcadius. The construction of the baths was commissioned by Hurrem Sultan , the wife of Suleiman the Magnificent. She died in 1558. The Theodosius Column apparently collapsed in 1517 and certainly was not still standing in 1550. The Arcadius Column was not demolished until 1715.
