Description This is Ancient Roman mosaics in the chapel of Consantine's daughter. Its a great little chapel very very beutiful, the mosaics are so ornate and detailed. The peakocks were my favorite. hich is a little heads up, Iv got this great set of Florentine papermakers "Johnsons and sons" stationary that I plan to adapt the gold guilded peacock into my next logo.

back to the chapel, built by consentine to commemorate the miracle of his daughter's lepracy being cured by the saints, its a great beuty. The center of the circular formation is the altar, around the altar is a columnade two columns deep, the columns are arranged in a wagon wheel sort of fashion wher if you stand in the center and look out there appears to be only one column, then there is a walkway between the columnade and the wall. This is the ceiing in that walkway, the tunnel-like structure of the ceiling is just amazing, I only wish i could show it to you live.

The architecture is stunning in Europe.
All those little details you captured... and the story behind it.
It's lovely.

Hehe. Me too, I usually bs my way to make me look smart though.
But this sounds true enough.

Lol yeah, there's things you forget the instant you know it, and those things you'll know forever.
Its really interesting.
Is that in Rome? (sorry if that's a stupid question)
Whether or not it is, I think you'd be interested in the book, Angels and Demons by Dan Brown.
It will change you.

yeah, on the outskirts, right near where the anciant Roman city line was. I forgot to mention, its The Church of Santa Costanza. Consantines daughter was named Costanza, after her father
