Re: ealiest pictures of jesus

http://www.religionfacts.com/jesus/image_gallery.htm

dated at 200 A.D. at earliest which is when the christian religion really started growing - not before.  And even then, the pictures are more based on pagan religions like hermes and Hercules.

That’s a pretty cool gallery. I even saw a black Jesses or two there.

Re: ealiest pictures of jesus

Thank you for the link, Flash.  The second image in the list, dated from the first century, doesn't appear to be identified as Jesus - it could be anyone with his picture painted on a lid.  I wonder why it was included in the gallery at that position?

The first image, also without an identifying blurb, is an enhanced view of the Shroud of Turin, an image far more apocryphal than the 2nd century jackass headed graphito.  I wonder if the second image is also one traditionally rather than archeologically identified?
