Asset Overview

"[The Bapistry of Neon] is a relic of the final years of the Roman Empire, when the seat of the western government was Ravenna. Erected in the early fifth century on the site of a previous Roman bath, the baptistry was originally connected to a great basilica called the Church of the Anastasis, which was destroyed in the 18th century. The baptistery’s mosaics were updated by a certain Bishop Neon (hence the name) in the 470s, freshened up just in time for the city to fall to the Goths in 476."
