The very first surviving picture of the crucifixion comes from second century Rome:

a)Graffiti on the Palatine Hill in Rome

b) Now in the Kircherian Museum in Rome

c) The graffiti depicts a stick man standing beside a cross, hand raised in worship, and on the cross is a man with the head of a donkey!

d) The scribbled words (misspelled like much graffiti often is) reads: Alexamenos cebete (sic, sebete) Theon

e) “Alexamenos (Alexander) worships God.”

f) Christianity depicted as the worship of an ass by only reprobates and fools.
