Description
This fragment of a floral frieze comes from Ionnes Prodromos Church.
Such monumental pieces only appeared in Christian art after the 4th century - that is after Constantine's Edict of Milan, that made Christianism the official religion of the Roman Empire. Therefore, Christians from all over the Empire could live their faith in broad daylight, which also induced that they could start to build big churches.
