  3. Figure 11-1 Interior of the synagogue at Dura-Europos, Syria, with wall-paintings of Old Testament themes, ca. 245–256. Tempera on plaster. Reconstruction in National Museum, Damascus. Syncretism: the adoption of a motif, trait or characteristic from a previous period to allude to the power of the established tradition.

  5. Figure 11-3 The Good Shepherd, the story of Jonah, and orants, painted ceiling of a cubiculum in the Catacomb of Saints Peter and Marcellinus, Rome, Italy, early fourth century. More syncretism: the shepherd in Greek Archaic sculpture was the one offering the sacrifice -here he becomes the sacrifice. The meaning has shifted-but the image is very similar.

  9. Influence of old Roman Imperial portrait language Influence of new evolving Christian narrative language These are rare-to avoid Idolatry Figure 11-6 Christ seated, from Civita Latina, Italy, ca. 350–375. Marble, approx. 2’ 4 1/2” high. Museo Nazionale Romano—Palazzo Massimo alle Terme, Rome.

  10. Figure 11-7 Restored view (a), plan (b), and section (c) of Old Saint Peter’s, Rome, Italy, begun ca. 320. (The restoration of the forecourt is conjectural.)
