Sammendrag

In this paper, I examine one of the great surviving objects of early Christian art and conduct a conceptual archaeology of its visual and iconographic sources. I hope in this way to honor the memory of H.P. L’Orange, one of the greatest experts of late antique art from the twentieth century, whose particular strength lay in his ability to interpret late ancient materials in the light of the Classical tradition that had developed beforehand.
