Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, Ravenna, Emilia-Romagna, Italy. Detail of nave mosaic at the west end depicting Theodoric's Palace. The mosaic dates from around 500 AD under Theodoric, but around 560 the mosaic was censored by Catholics because the King and his court were Arians and, thus, considered heretics. Their images were replaced with blank backgrounds and curtains. A hand, belonging to one of the original occupants, can still be seen on some columns. |
