Joshua's
Defeat of the Five Amorite Kings
5th century, with
medieval and modern restorations
Mosaic
Nave,
Santa Maria Maggiore, Rome
Joshua routs the Amorites in the upper register; then in the lower
register we see God's hand casting hailstones on them. See Joshua
10:1-11 (cached).
This
is part of the
extensive series of Old Testament scenes portrayed in mosaics along the
two walls of the nave. Click here for
