The work presents a detailed examination of frescoes, murals, and decorative painting traditions from ancient Rome through the early Christian era, tracing how artistic conventions evolved as new religious and cultural forces reshaped the Mediterranean world. Gassiot-Talabot argues that these paintings are far more than historical artefacts — they are vivid documents of belief, power, and identity, illuminating the spiritual and social transformations of late antiquity. The text is authoritative yet accessible, making it an essential reference for art historians, archaeologists, and anyone captivated by the origins of Western pictorial tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956144451803,"sku":"2026200008731-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/89cb009c-eb26-4bb1-a516-0c38ef7ef9b3.png?v=1783498370","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008731-secondhand-roman-and-early-christian-painting","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
