This book explores visual imagery found on burial artifacts of prominent early Christian women. It carefully situates the tomb art within the cultural context of customary Roman commemorations of the dead... A review of women's history in the first four centuries of Christianity provides important context. A picture emerges of women's authority in the early church, a picture either not available or sadly distorted in the written history. It is often said ""a picture is worth a thousand words."" The portrait tombs of fourth-century Christian women suggest that they viewed themselves and/or their loved ones viewed them as persons of authority with religious influence.  aWomen in Christianity -- History -- Early church, ca. 30-600  aChristian sociology -- Early church  aFeminism  aantiquity -- history4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/13538/cr.jpgyCover Image  aNguyễn Thị Kim Phượng  a231010TKH  c13389d13389  00104070aTVCDbTVCDd2026-01-20g0.00l0pTVCD-13389v0.00yBK
