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?
