We ship fast & safe worldwide everyday!A description of the Semi-Dome of Apse mosaic St. Pudenziana Church in Rome:The St. Pudenziana Church is one of the more ancient churches in Rome, if not the most ancient at all. We have documents indeed that the descendants of the Senator Pudens in 154AD gave the Pope Pius I the Pudens house, because he guested in it the Apostles Peter and Paul. According to the tradition, Pudens was a Roman Senator converted to the Christian faith by the Apostles Peter and Paul. His greetings are quoted in the Second Letter of St. Paul to Timothy (4:21), confirming his strict relationships with the Apostles. The Domus Pudentiana (“the House of Pudens”) became thus a Domus Ecclesia (“a Domestic Church”): the Ecclesia Pudentiana (“the Church of Pudens”). Of this house we have some remains in the excavations at the basement of the actual church. The actual structure of the church, however, dates back to the Fourth century. It was originally divided into three naves, like the twin church of St. Praxedes, before the restorations of the XVI cent.. This restoration transformed the two lateral naves into a series of lateral chapels, built the elliptic couple over the altar, reinforced the Roman columns so to sustain the weight of the new roof vaults, substituting the old, wood trussed roof, so to give the Church the actual Baroque style. Fortunately, the mosaic was saved: the rebuilding of the altar zone cut away only the last two apostles of the Mosaic (they are 10 not 12).NOTE: Purchases totaling $35 and above qualify for FREE shipping.
