## Commentary

This Crucifixion scene from the chapel of Sts Cyriacus and Julitta in Santa Maria Antiqua forms the centrepiece of a large private endowment made by the dean of the church, Theodotus. The art historical value of the scene lies in its combination of eastern pictorial elements, such as the &#39;colobium&#39; worn by Christ - an item otherwise known only from Syrian manuscripts - and the Latin characters which identify the Saviour.
