Abstract

This article examines, in short, the history of the archaeological research concerning the church of St. John in Cos (Epta Vimata) which should be acknowledged as the baptistery belonging to the nearby Early Christian basilica which was discovered in the town of Cos. The architectural analysis of the building, its vaulting system and typology as well as the affinities it has with buildings similar in use, e.g. the baptistery of the Early Christian basilica of Rhodes town, Constantinople, or that of Miletus contextualize the latter into the broader frame of the Early Christian architecture.
