Early Christian and Byzantine 


    One of the oldest Christian builds is the church house since it was vital for them to have a place where they could worship God and practice their rituals and prayer. This building was made before christianity was legalized and had to be secret since they couldn't worship in public so all of them were made in homes and some were donated by wealthy chrisdtians that were able to build to worship God the homes of the wealthy chirstian donated were called domus ecclesiae this builds could hold 50 people at that time.


this building can be found in Nocera Umbra Italy

During the time of Emperore Diodetian rule since Christianity monotheistic belief wasn't respected the emperore persecuted many Christians during the period of 303 to 305 C.E

Mosaics during the ancient times were used as a form of advertisements and a way that people used to express religion in a certain way as a way to inform people on their faith

    Hi Irma! I loved your highlights of the catacombs and of the mosaic face in this week's blog. I think these images emphasize two very important parts of the Early Christian and Byzantine eras. Great work!
