Summary

Description
English: Fresco of Paul and Theoclia, mother of Thecla, from 6th century. Discovered in 1906 in the Cave of St. Paul on the northern slope of Bülbül Dag, above the ruins of ancient Ephesus

“The the right of the entrance [of the cave] and beneath layers of plaster, Karl Herod, of the Austrian Archaelological Institute, uncovered two sixth-century images of a female Theokli[a] and a male Paulos. They are both the same height and are therefore iconographically of equal importance. They both have their right hands raised in teaching gesture and are therefore iconographically of equal authority. But although they eyes and upraised hand of Paul are untouched, some later person scratched out the eyes and erased the upraised hand of Theoklia”.

Quoted from J. D. Crossan and J. L. Reed, In Search of Paul: How Jesus' Apostle Opposed Rome's Empire with God's Kingdom, HarperOne, 2009, p. XI.
