Women in Ancient and Medieval Christianity
Mosaic from the chapel of St. Zeno at the church of St. Praessede, Rome
The Virgin Mary between Saints Praxedes and Pudentiana, and a woman identified by the Greek inscription as "Theodora, Bishop" ("Episcopa"). Theodora is depicted with a square halo, indicating that the image was made when she was alive.
The
feminine ending "ra" on her name appears to have been defaced or
partially erased.
