The author based on archaeological data presents a different historical view from the hitherto prevailing for the place of martyrdom of Saint Demetrius. Summarizing comparatively the previous theories, he quotes a rather extensive bibliography and analyzes the problems seeking for a documented solution. So, he proposes the 'Nymphaeus', i.e. the underground crypt, the so-called Catacomb, to the South of the Hagia Sophia Church. The book is also an important contribution to the objective approach of the Byzantine topography of Thessalonica.
