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
This is the earliest securely-dated house-church in the world as we know that it was active before the site was abandoned in 256. The frescoes from the building are now the property of Yale University and only the walls and outline of the building remain at Dura today.
