Discussion Questions
• Why are the wall paintings at Dura Europos important to understanding the art of the Late Antique (Roman) and Early Christian time periods?
• What visual characteristics of earlier pagan funerary art are seen in Christian art from this period? Does the context change?
• What might one speculate as reasons for the absence of a crucified Christ in Early Christian art?
• What was/were the purpose(s) of Early Christian art?
