Basilica A of Doumetios | Nicopolis

In the five-aisled first basilica, built by Bishop Doumetios 550-570 AD and dedicated to Saint Dimitrios, there are preserved some mosaics of great artistic meri as well as an inscription (in modern Greek) that reads: “This is the miraculous infinite ocean that the Earth holds at its centre. Built by the great Archpriest Doumetios”. There are depictions of fishermen, warriors, water birds, plants, fish, and more, forming an “ocean” of colours and Christian symbols.
