Gimme that really ole time religion:

Roman Catacomb, c. 150 AD:

Fractio Panis (Latin: Breaking of Bread) is the name given to a fresco in the Greek Chapel (Capella Greca) in the Catacomb of Priscilla, situated on the Via Salaria Nova in Rome. The fresco depicts seven persons at a table, six men and a woman. Like the whole of the decorations of the chapel, the fresco dates from the first half of the 2nd century. The painting is found upon the face of the arch immediately over the altar tomb, upon which the sacrament of the Eucharist was performed.

Perhaps in order to satisfy the anti-Nicea crowd, we are going to have to dust for Constantine’s fingerprints...
