 John Romjr's exploration of the        
 Byzantium empire continues with the    
 creation of Christian art.             
                                        
 He looks at how old symbols of the     
 pagan world were swept away quickly    
 and replaced bz Christian imagery, as  
 images were as important a part of     
 religious propoganda as the spoken     
 or written word.                       
                                        
 He also explains how early Christian   
 artist were not averse to borrowing    
 from pagan icongraphy, as familiar     
 images would prove less shocking.
