		The Mausoleum built for herself by Galla Placidia, but in which she was probably never buried, is a jewel of fifth-century art.
		It bears remarkable witness to the culture of imperial Ravenna and to the growing importance of Christian faith and thought in an age of terror and uncertainty.
		In this volume the Mausoleum appears in all the splendour and complex symbolism of its mosaics, from the triumph of the Good Shepherd robed in ceremonial garments to the refulgent visions of the Apocalypse.

		This small mausoleum is in Ravenna, just a few steps from the church of San Vitale, famous for its mosaics.
		It also hides something quite stunning that really impressed me. Just like the other buildings of Ravenna, the interior is covered with amazing mosaics.
		It was constructed for Galla Placidia, the half sister of Emperor Honorius, sometime between 425 and 450 when Ravenna was Western Capital of the Roman Empire.
