Anthemius of Tralles was a prominent Byzantine architect and engineer who lived during the 6th century AD. He is best known for his work on the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople (now Istanbul), which is considered one of the greatest architectural achievements in history. Anthemius, alongside his colleague Isidore of Miletus, was responsible for the innovative design of the building, particularly its large dome and complex structural system.
