Battistero Neoniano - a photo on Flickriver

            Ravenna, Italy.
This is the most ancient monument remaining in the city, erected during the late Western Roman Empire by Bishop Ursus at the end of the 4th or beginning of the 5th century AD.  The baptistery was finished by Bishop Neon at the end of the 5th century, at which time the mosaic decorations were added.
The ceiling mosaic depicts John the Baptist baptizing Jesus (depicted with beard) standing waist high in the Jordan River. Zeus, as personification of the Jordan, is also present. A procession of the twelve apostles proceeds around the center mosaic in two directions, ending with Saint Peter meeting Saint Paul.
The Baptistry is one of the eight structures in Ravenna registered as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
