Ravenna - Mosaic in the Neonian Baptistery

This Baptistery is the most ancient monument remaining in Ravenna. The ceiling mosaic depicts John the Baptist baptizing Jesus.. To one side stands a pagan water god with a reed in one hand and a garment in the other, representing the Jordan River. A procession of the twelve apostles proceeds around the centre mosaic in two directions, ending with St Peter meeting St Paul. [Wikipedia]
