Octagonal martyria: architectural form & its history[edit]
The article focuses on churches dedicated to martyrs, less so on the architectural form known as martyrium (Greek: martyrion), which is by definition octagonal or at least some kind of "central structure", i.e. round or maybe even a different type of polygone, although I'm not aware of such examples. It is important as such, has had its heyday, evolution, and it pretty much disappeared from church architecture early on, with few modern quotations of the ancient shape. Needs elaboration.
