This is a really important discovery, but the photos are just awful. I hope this gets more thorough treatment with better pix soon. Thanks for the post.

Yeah, cronos, it’s probably real.

Been in some of those catacombs. Interesting spaces.

She appeared on a flat bread, alas. Didn’t last as long.

One of the inscriptions found on a plinth:

Ave Maria, plenus venium
succurro meus equus ut lucror conflictus

(or something to that effect)

Why do you say this? Are you reading more into then is there? From what I see it's a painting of what they believed Peter and Paul looked like. Do you think there is more to this?

The interesting thing to me is, the artist had to have the idea of what he was painting from an even earlier depiction of the Apostles and Christ.

INOW, the artist was not painting from first hand memory, they had to have seen those 4 depicted in artwork beforehand.
