Between the third and sixth centuries, the ancient gods,
goddesses, and heroes who had populated the imagination of
humankind for a millennium were replaced by a new imagery of Christ
and his saints. Thomas Mathews explores the many different, often
surprising, artistic images and religious interpretations of Christ
during this period. He challenges the accepted theory of the
"Emperor Mystique," which, interpreting Christ as king, derives the
vocabulary of Christian art from the propagandistic imagery of the
Roman emperor. This revised edition contains a new preface by the
author and a new chapter on the origin and development of icons in
private domestic cult.
