  1. Arch of Galerius: story on the “Thessaloniki from a Roman arch to Byzantine walls” route

    Here, victory turns into a marble story with a deliberate omission.

  2. Basilica of Saint Demetrius and the Crypt: story on the “Thessaloniki from a Roman arch to Byzantine walls” route

    The crypt sets church tradition against what archaeologists actually found beneath the basilica.

  3. Church of Acheiropoietos: story on the “Thessaloniki from a Roman arch to Byzantine walls” route

    The inscription on the column preserves the moment when the conquest entered an active church.

    The inscription will link the two passages to a lost civil war and power over the city that was preserved.

    Here, a persecuted teaching will culminate in its own monastery and the see of one of its supporters.

    The round building will show how different communities changed the purpose and name of a single sanctuary.
