The front side of this 4th century strigilated sarcophagus with an image of a seated teacher became the back side when it was used as #spolia in a 15th c. funerary monument in the church of San Lorenzo Maggiore in #Naples

On the right-hand side of the #sarcophagus, we see Valerius Petronianus in the "forum", that is, the law courts, with his father backing him up. The elegant simplicity of the carving made this prime #spolia, and about a century later it had a different occupant. @arturoviaggia

#MosaicMonday takes us into Old St Peter's, to the now-lost Oratory of John VII. This glittering C8 chapel contained mosaics, #spolia pilasters, and two spiral columns. It was destroyed in 1609, but it was a kind of Holy of Holies for medieval #Rome. @arturoviaggia

That looks like a single porphyry column high up...

I wonder who the last person to pass through this door was.
The builder they got in to block it, I suspect...
