Abstract:
The study of monuments in which representations of St. Achilleios survive illustrates the enduring veneration of the saint from the Byzantine period until today. The geographical distribution of these monuments shows that his veneration spread beyond the local Church of Larissa to the entire Archdiocese of Ohrid, and to regions outside of this. The representations of St. Achilleios are particularly important, since they emphasize traits of his personality, such as that of being founder of a church or an opponent of heresy, an ecumenical hierarch or national saint.
