Systematic study and publication of a painted frieze most likely originating from a temple building of Hellenistic Thessaloniki, featuring multi-figure scenes of exceptional interest and rarity for ancient Macedonia and the Greek world (AMTh 900–905). The study concerns the iconography of the frieze and the style and technique of the paintings, and involves the application of key modern imaging and analytical methods for the investigation of painted monuments.
