Abstract (en)

Aims to redefine the art of the Early Christian period away from what the author defines as the "emperor mystique," the interpretation of representations of Christ in terms of imperial iconography, to explaining it in terms of the development of a Christian pantheon of images borrowed from the iconography of the pagan gods.
