Dazzling mosaics made of glittering shards of colored glass embellish Rome's oldest churches and tell an enduring story of beauty, faith, and artistry across a thousand years. This book examines twelve mosaic ensembles in nine churches, bringing these little-known masterpieces life while exploring their meaning, historical context and spiritual power. As evocations of divine light, they reveal their glory as their imagery is decoded, telling of an ideal Rome whose power derived from both its imperial past and its Christian legacy.
