LATE ANTIQUE TRICONCH CHURCHES IN THE ROMAN PROVINCE OF ANCIENT EPIRUS
LATE ANTIQUE TRICONCH CHURCHES IN THE ROMAN PROVINCE OF ANCIENT EPIRUS

Summary/Abstract: The late antique province of Epirus Vetus, now divided between Greece and Albania, witnessed a proliferation of religious buildings. Some of these are well documented and have led to the establishment of a highly uniform architectural typology, characterised by the predominance of the basilical plan. Nevertheless, there are a number of particular cases within this group, including basilicas with a triconch choir, which we propose to examine in this contribution, in order to distinguish whether and to what extent they differ from other religious buildings, and what the reasons are for this architectural choice.
