Summary

[edit]
Description
English: File:Plan of the church of the Forty Mattyrs at Nakolaksvi.
The church of the Forty Martyrs, at Nakolakevi the ancient Archaeopolis and the Christian capital of the Lazi and close to the city of the Argonauts was rebuilt by Justinian from the ruins of an earlier church. It is undoubtedly that to which Procopius refers It stands alone towards the top of hill and in the midst of ruins now overgrown with trees underwood It is remarkable for the projection of the pro thesis to the north and for its immense size j for the double instead of the triple apse for the smallness of the diaconicon and for the chapel of the Forty Martyrs attached to the south side of the choir Justinian gave some relics of the Martyrs of Sebaste to this church and to commemorate them forty stones are placed in the pavement of the chapel The narthex has an entrance from the south as well as the west Here we have the influence of the new fashion the apses being polygonal.
