Limes Arabicus: Resafa XIII, Martyrion
The Martyrion is an old martyr-shrine where, at an early date, the bodies of Saint Sergius and his companions Bacchus and Julia were laid to rest. It is a church basilica with an apse. The floor and walls are made of gypsum stone found in Rasafa and the great monolithic columns are of rose-colored marble. The two apsidal chapels are well preserved; the capitals and the archway carved like lace.
