The C4th Roman Rotunda church in Thessaloniki is the most important
monument of the early Christian era. In this comprehensive
monograph, Hjalmar Torp presents the findings of his life-long
archaeological and iconographic research on the Rotunda. He
explores the archaeological data, the various phases of the
architecture, and the chronological issues of the monument. The
nuanced descriptions of the mosaics, their colours and their
techniques are based on a detailed scaffold review and survey. The
iconography of the mosaics is then analyzed and interpreted in
conjunction with historical and theological sources; the building
of the palatine church and its sumptuous decoration is attributed
to an initiative by Theodosius the Great. This slip-cased set of
two books, abundantly documented and richly illustrated, is a
unique testimony on the Rotunda. Volume One: text. Volume Two:
Illustrations. 500 illustrations, many in colour. This book is only
available in French.
