Historicity of Pulcheria Inside the Holy of Holies of the Second Hagia Sophia

The first of the two artifacts that depict a gender parallel liturgy at the altar table was carved on the massive stone front of a sarcophagus. It was discovered in 1988 in an underground hypogeum adjacent the Theodosian walls in Istanbul. The stone panel’s large size—approximately 3½ feet by 6½ feet—as well as the dress of the people carved on it, signified that the sculptor’s patron or patroness was of high rank50 (see Fig. 7.2).
