Özet: It is thought that Süleymaniye, which is mentioned with the famous mosque and complex built on it, had been a settlement since before Darius' Scythian campaign. The region has also been within the boundaries of the city since Constantine founded the city and built its fortifications in 330. This article will ask the question of where is the region of Süleymaniye and what is in the region of Süleymaniye through the Notitia Urbis Constantinopoletae, a fifth-century inventory list of the city of Constantinople. Notitia, is an inventory list which belongs to II. Theodosius (hd 401-450) period. This list is thought to have been made with an administrative benefit, unlike the questionable city depictions of the ancient authors, and therefore does not stray from reality. In addition, this list is contemporary and true to the period it was prepared. In this aspect, it is also separated from the ancient writers who describe the glow of the past. Research boundaries have been determined over two boundaries known today for the Süleymaniye region. The first one of these set research boundaries is the conservation boundary of the Sülaymaniye region, designated by Unesco World Heritage List, and the second one is the renewal boundary for the region, declared in 2006. These two boundaries coincide and overlap at the conservation boundaries, while the renewal boundary extends the conservation boundary towards the Golden Horn shores. In this article, it is aimed to understand the ancient depictions of Notitia, another border determiner, over the current borders.
