the city is a gem, there're plenty of lanes and streets that you haven't explored. this morning you went to a small monument just tucked in a small alley along via roma. a baptistery of arian style. it has a cathedral next to it and a lovely courtyard. this is again another mosaic that depicts the baptism of Jesus. it's small but the breath taking dome mosaic depicting the baptism of Christ is astonish, artistic and the vivid display of Christ being baptized encircled by the 12 disciples.
from the town, you got hold of a book, because there're too many depictions of mosaic unexplained to you. as much as you know the bible and the stories, you would like to have a clearer accounts of the images.
