Abstract
Based on the architectural analysis of the Acheiropoietos basilica in Thessaloniki, made possible within the framework of the recent Consolidation and Restoration project of the monument, the present paper traces the remains of the first structural phase of this palimpsest building, examines the architectural form of the Early Byzantine basilica, which seems to have been originally erected without galleries, in accordance with the standard type of the Christian basilicas erected in the Latin West, and revises its foundation date in the light of new evidence.
