A look at early Roman Christianity via artwork in the catacombs. Photos of murals and inscriptions. Of course, I found artwork that interprets the Bible especially interesting. For example, a favorite topic is the Good Shepherd -- I think because a lot of these Christians viewed themselves as wandering sinners -- whether due to apostasy during persecution or simply due to the fact that they often gave into their vices -- whose hope for the afterlife was that Christ would rescue them.
