[QUOTE]Christ Teaching the Apostles 300 A.D. Due to the illegal status of the early Christian Church and the secret life followers were forced to live, there is little significant Christian art from before the 4th century. Fortunately there are some sprinkled examples found in the subterranean cemeteries (catacombs) of Domitilla, Rome which provide us visual evidence of early Christian beliefs and also Jesus' original image. Among these are frescoes, which are wall paintings done on fresh plaster. One common image is the final communion meal shared between Jesus and his disciples. Scenes of the Last Supper, often disguised or intentionally ambiguous, were experienced as anticipation of the glorious banquet that awaited true believers in the next life. A beardless Christ in a toga, is characteristic of its time and place in a Roman world.

[/QUOTE] https://fineartamerica.com/profiles/authenticchrist?tab=about [QUOTE] You are about to visit the best preserved section in one of the two most extensive catacombs in Rome: [b]The catacombs of the Eternal City offer one of the most complete and eloquent pictures of the Christian community in Imperial Rome, and of Catholicism in the city between the 2nd and 9th centuries. Until the 2nd century, in fact, the early Christians didn’t have their own cemeteries but were buried alongside the pagans in communal burial grounds outside the city along the main consular roads. The Apostle Peter was buried on the Vatican hill and St. Paul along the road to Ostia.[/b] From the end of the 2nd century on, burial space ground was getting hard to come by and so small underground tombs were dug. These were often connected by short tunnels and were called hypogeums. It was a practice widely used by the Christians insofar as it allowed them to create several tombs in a confined space and at low cost. It also meant they could accommodate poorer members of the community either in private hypogeums or in Church-run cemeteries which had been donated by private citizens. Such was the case with the catacombs you are visiting: we know from inscriptions that the land originally belonged to Flavia Domitilla. One such inscription bearing her name, can be seen on the righthand wall of the Basilica at the foot of the entrance stairway between the two sarcophagi. She was a noblewoman - the Emperor Vespasian was her grandfather and Domitian was her uncle. Her husband, Flavio Clemente, was a consul together with Domitian in 95 AD - but was condemned to death by the emperor that same year and Domitilla was exiled to the island of Ventotene. They were accused of the crime of "atheism" - meaning they were probably both Christians. Their niece, whose name was also Flavia Domitilla was exiled to the island of Ponza for the same reason and by the 4th century her prison was a popular site of pilgrimage. Private tombs multiplied in this area during the first half of the 3rd century AD and were linked by an extensive network of galleries. The complex of the catacombs of Domitilla began with seven early hypogeums which were carved out on two distinct levels and joined together during the first half of the 4th century. Galleries and tombs continued to be dug until the end of the 5th century with new stairways leading down into them from above. […] CONCLUSION The catacombs of Domitilla are extremely vast, about 17 kilometers long and extending to a depth of around 30 meters. Our visit dealt with just a portion of the second level with all its interesting artifacts. Although brief, our visit has given us a clear idea of how the early Christians dealt with death and with the burial of their deceased. The word "cemetery" comes from Greek and means "place of rest" - especially for the early Christians as they await the Resurrection and their final salvation. This peaceful trust fills all the paintings and phrases carved upon the tombs that we find in the catacombs - and it’s the message that comes down to us through the centuries.[/QUOTE][URL=http://www.domitilla.info/idx.htm?var1=docs/en01.htm]www.domitilla.info[/URL] [IMG]https://render.fineartamerica.com/images/rendered/wall-view/medium/room001/print-poster/images-medium/jesus-christ-300-ad-beehive-publishing.jpg?printWidth=8&printHeight=10[/IMG] [IMG]https://render.fineartamerica.com/images/rendered/wall-view/medium/room002/print-poster/images-medium/jesus-christ-300-ad-beehive-publishing.jpg?printWidth=8&printHeight=10[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
