Extractions: Version for printing Anthemius of Tralles 's father was a doctor by the name of Stephanus. Anthemius came from a well educated family with two brothers who were doctors, one brother who was a lawyer and another who was described as a man of learning. Anthemius is known both a mathematician and an architect. As an architect he is best known for replacing the old church of Hagia Sophia at Constantinople in 532. His skills seem also to have extended to engineering for he is said to have been employed to repair flood defences at Daras. You can see an article about Hagia Sophia He described the construction of an ellipse with a string fixed at the two foci. His famous book On Burning Mirrors also describes the focal properties of a parabola Heath [2] gives one of his problems which leads to the ellipse construction:- To contrive that a ray of the sun admitted through a small hole or window shall fall in a given spot, without moving away at any hour and season.

Extractions: Anthemius of Tralles is known both a mathematician and an architect. As an architect he is best known for replacing the old church of Hagia Sophia at Constantinople in 532. Here we give some information on the Hagia Sophia and, in particular, in Anthemius' involvement in the project. The first church of Hagia Sophia at Constantinople was built by Constantine II in 360 AD. Two fires destroyed this church, the first in 404 destroyed the roof while the second in 414 destroyed most of the building. In 415 the church was rebuilt and dedicated by Theodosius II. However, in the Nika Riot of 532 the church was destroyed again. Procopius of Ceasarea was an historian most famous for his work History of the Wars. We quote from Procopius' work Buildings written in around 560 which describes the buildings of the Emperor Justinian's Empire. The events and buildings he describes were witnessed by him. He describes the Nika Riot of 532:- Some men of the common herd, all the rubbish of the city, once rose up against the Emperor Justinian in Byzantium, when they brought about the rising called the Nika Insurrection. ... And by way of showing that it was not against the Emperor alone that they had taken up arms, but no less against God himself ... they had the audacity to set fire to the Church of the Christians, which the people of Byzantium call "Sophia". ... So the whole church at that time lay a charred mass of ruins. Now the Emperor Justinian wanted to rebuild the church in a style that far exceeded the capabilities of any architect of his time. He had the good sense to turn to someone who was not trained as an architect but who was a scholar, knowledgeable in mathematics, statics and dynamics. This person was

Archimedes And His Burning Mirrors, Reality Or Fantasy? anthemius of tralles (474534), the Architect of the Hagia Sophia, tells us that Anthemius, of Tralles, in Lydia, a celebrated architect, able sculptor, http://www.mlahanas.de/Greeks/Mirrors.htm
Extractions: Aristophanes 420 BC, THE CLOUDS Diocles in burning mirrors , late 2nd century BC, proved that the surface that reflects the rays from the Sun to a single point is a paraboloid of revolution. Constructions of such devices remained of interest as late as the 6th century AD, when Anthemius of Tralles, the architect of the Hagia Sophia at Constantinople, compiled a survey of remarkable mirror configurations. According to Roman writers who chronicled the life of Archimedes, the mathematician was a devoted subject of Hiero ii, ruler of Syracuse, and spent part of his career designing and building weapons to defend Syracuse catapults, pulley hoists and levers for disabling enemy ships and siege towers. The ancient historians Polybius, Plutarch and Pliny the Elder all mention such inventions, although none was alive in Archimedes' lifetime. Some Greco-Roman historians also assert that during the Roman siege of Syracuse from 214 to 212 B.C., at the height of the Second Punic War, Archimedes used bronze mirrors to focus sunlight on Roman ships and set them on fire.
