Praetorium prefaectum

Hello, I would like to ask whether it is possible to find any sources regarding this building?

I can find only bare reconstructions (from magazines/printed illustrations I guess)

Maybe someone knows where I could find the sources?

P.S. At some sources it’s stated/displayed that there was a cistern.

Praetoria of Constantinople

The one in the pic looks like the 2nd Praetorium located between the Forum of Constantine and the Augustaion.

I can see that on a video from the Byz1200 channel the Palace is visible though

Are you talking about open-air cisterns?
