A ceiling fresco of the prophet Jonah being thrown
overboard.
This is from the Catacombs of Marcellinus and Peter, in Rome. It
is dated to the 300's - 400's. Jonah was a popular artistic figure
for the early Roman Christians, who saw themselves as emerging from the
catacombs in order to preach to the city, much like Jonah emerged from
the whale to preach to Nineveh, which can be seen
here. Photo
