What was the intended purpose of the frescoes from the house in Dura-Europos?

History
1 answer:
erik [133]3 years ago
4 0

<em>Dura-Europos</em> was an ancient city located in the vicinity of village of <em>Salhiyé</em>, Syria, along the Euphrates river, close to the Iraq border.

Christian places needed to be discreet or secret around 240 A.D.; thus earlier congregations worshiped in private houses of wealthy members; some of those houses were converted into churches, and the house in <em>Dura-Europos</em> was one of those conversions.

So the purpose of the frescoes was to celebrate Christian worship secretly, and to illustrate the old testament writings, mostly for the illiterate people who couldn't read the sacred books, as a medium of  what they called "<em>hope of new spiritual birth</em>".

7nadin3 [17]
the least biased account would be: <span>a world history textbook’s account published in 2014
For starter, the story from the sides of all the people involved in the attack will be extremely biased, because both of them will tend to believe they're fighting for the right side.
A history textbook that's written decades later would most likely provide us with an objective view because ti's created after studying the perspective of both sides.</span>
