Arcadia (Greek: Άρκαδία; 3 April 400 – 444) was the third daughter of the Roman emperor Arcadius (Шаблон:Reign) and Aelia Eudoxia and a member of the Theodosian dynasty.

Life

Her next sibling was the male heir and future emperor Theodosius II (Шаблон:Reign). Following the example of her older sister Aelia Pulcheria she took a vow of virginity, but unlike her, she never married, devoting herself to religion. Arcadia died in 444.[1]

Constructions

In Constantinople, she ordered the construction, near the Gate of Saturninus,[2] of a monastery dedicated to Saint Andrew. The building, named also Rodophylion (Шаблон:Lang-grc-gre) lay about 600 m. west of the gate.[3] Heavily transformed, the church of the monastery is now the Koca Mustafa Pasha Mosque of Istanbul.[3] Arcadia built two mansions and possibly a bath in Constantinople.[1]
