View looking east along the axis of the basilica–style South Church—also called "The Church of Saint Theodore."
In the foreground is the atrium of the church with the opening to the atrium cistern below the two grated openings in the lower right portion of the image—in the middle of the atrium. The central portion of the atrium was open to the sky while the area between the re-erected columns and the walls were covered porticos.
The three entrances into the church are visible. In the distance, the altar in the apse is visible as are the two rooms, one on each side of the apse.
This church is dated to the fifth century A.D.
PS — notice the wine press on the far right side of the image.
