Abstract:
The subject of the present paper is the study of the relief slab with a two-headed eagle in the church of the Transfiguration of the Savior in Kalamaria, Thessaloniki, which we have identified as that which existed on the west walls of Trebizond (1324). This slab, which was transported by refugees and later built into the church of Kalamaria, is very interesting from a historical and archaeological perspective, not only because it can be dated with precision but also because it is associated with Alexios II Komnenos, who was also from the Palaiologos family on his mother’s side.
