This volume explores the development of Christianity in the Roman empire, from the third to the sixth centuries, and how it influenced traditional Graeco-Roman art.

It is illustrated with line drawings and photographs, providing detailed descriptions of the art and architecture discussed in its social and historical context. A valuable resource for both art historians and those traveling to the Mediterranean area, this book offers insight into the riches of the first centuries of the church.
