Title A name given to the resource Art of Devotion Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Christina Ball Description An account of the resource Religion in Late Antiquity was marked by religious pluralism. Although the Byzantine Empire's official religion was Orthodox Christianity, art sometimes called upon non-Christian forms, and visual culture of multiple faith traditions existed. For example, when images of Christ or the apostles were depicted, sometimes they were figured in the form of Greek or Roman gods, or accompanied with pagan-derived personifications of geographic locations or ideas such as Death. Religious ideas from Byzantium spread to and are evident in a wide range of geographies, like Kyivian Rus' or late medieval Italy. Byzantine art of devotion mostly comprises Christian themes from Orthodox Christianity. Therefore, religious themes are seen even in personal items not used in the Church. Some of these include capitals adorned by angels; six silver plates that tell the story of the Life of David and his slaying of Goliath; and a Bowl Base with Christ Giving Martyrs’ Crowns to Saints Peter and Paul. Additional objects, such as a Dedication Plaque to a Jewish Temple and a a figural sculpture of Dionysius, demonstrate different religious traditions of Late Antiquity. While the contexts of these works vary, all of them engage with religious iconography.

Title A name given to the resource Icon with the Crucifixion Subject The topic of the resource Christ being crucified with the Virgin Mary, John the Evangelist, Three soldiers, and Hades Description An account of the resource This ivory scene of the Crucifixion has Jesus being crucified as the center piece. On his left is his mother Mary and on the right is Saint John the Evangelist. Under his feet are three soldiers casting lots for Christ’s cloak. Below the soldiers the Cross pierces Hades’ torso. Above, an elaborately delicately carved canopy frames the scene. The small size of this ivory suggests that it was used in the context of private devotion.
