The early christian templon-screen in the Katapoliani, Paros
Abstract
Presented are parts of the original marble templon-screen (shafts, column capitals, closure panels, mullions) of the holy bema in the church of the Virgin Katapoliani in Paros. These are considered to be products of a local workshop using Constantinopolitan models (Greek crosses with flattened arms inscribed in squares-lozenges and cruciform monograms). Priests-dedicators are recorded and it is suggested that the invocation of the emperor, encountered in the paracletic inscriptions, refers to Justinian during the closing years of his reign (548-565), after the death of Theodora.
