Title
A name given to the resource
Dura Europos
Description
An account of the resource
Dura Europos is located on the west bank of the River Euphrates and was at the border of the Roman and Persian Empires in the ancient world. In 256 the city was abandoned by the Romans and, because they had built up earth ramparts along the walls, a number of buildings in that sector of the city had remained almost perfectly preserved.
In the early C20th the ruins were rediscovered and spectacularly revealed a synagogue with figural frescoes that entirely changed our understanding of Jewish Art. In addition fragments of fresco in another, more modest building revealed it to be the earliest securely dated place of Christian worship yet discovered and our only known example still extant of an early Christian house-church.

An account of the resource
The Mithraeum at Dura Europos was identified by the same manner as the synagogue and house-church; it also had a number of frescoes as well as two stone panels in the central cult niche both depicting the central scene of the <em>Tauroctony.</em> The majority of the frescoes from the Mithraeum are now held by Yale University.
