Illustration of a post Byzantine Soldier in
Saint Mercurios, Fresco in Ayios Nikolaos, Vevi, Western Macedonia, 15th Century
Fig. 13. Saint Mercury.
Saint Mercury is depicted in the characteristic double-twisted movement, in a type which firstly appeared at Castoria [Kastoria], in Ayios Athanasios-tou-Mouzaki and then in Ayios Andreas-tou-Rousouli (fig. 13). Our example is identical to the later.
