Paleoradiological analysis of the body of St. Paul - archbishop of Constantinople
The remains of the body of St. Paul - archbishop of Constantinople are kept in a church of the St. Blasius in Vodnjan among other relics and numerous valuable artifacts. According to historical data, St. Paul was born in Thessalonica at the end of the 3rd century and died around 350 AD. The historical records also state that in the time around his death he was tortured with hunger and thirst in a dungeon, and when found alive after six days, strangled to death. To ensure a minimum revolt, his warders spread rumors that he had died of disease. In 2009, his body was examined in Clinical Hospital Center Split, Croatia using Multi Slice Computed Tomography (MSCT). The study was conducted to determine the state of preservation of the remains, to reveal if the body was mummified, and if so, if the mummification was natural or artificial. Afterwards, images were examined in order to obtain basic anthropological data, i.e. to construct osteobiography that could eventually be compared with historical records about St. Paul. The analysis of images revealed that the body is not mummified. Skeletal remains were well preserved, but the bones were not in their anatomical position. Anthropological results reviled that there are no anthropological indicators that could rule out that remains belong to St. Paul, but an amount of specific data was not enough to be used for the identity confirmation.
