ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ

“Aynalı Mağara” in Amaseia of Pontos, a rock-cut tomb of the Hellenistic period, was transformed into a church by the Christians and was decorated with three painting layers: the earlier includes abstract motifs and the second figurative representations, while nothing has been preserved from the third layer, which covered earlier paintings of the second layer. Due to iconographic and stylistic evidence of the preserved paintings of the first two layers, they have been dated to the period between the 8th century and the first half of the 12th century, thus providing additional evidence on the art of the Pontos in the mid-Byzantine period.
