The mosaics in the Rotunda in Thessaloniki are the most significant
decorations that remain from the early Byzantine period. Th is
richly illustrated book invites the reader to enter the building
and experience the splendid golden and silver mosaics that cover
the cupola and vaults. It includes a timeline and a list of recent
publications. Colour photographs, many specially taken for this
publication, document the spectacular qualities of these
magnificent mosaics. After an introduction to the architecture of
the Rotunda, the authors focus on the mosaics, discussing such
issues as imperial patronage, the martyr portraits, the pictorial
programme, as well as mosaic technique and the aesthetic qualities
of the multi-coloured images. The succinct text provides an
up-to-date introduction to the mosaics.
