Months ago, I temporarily posted the image far below (which will stay posted for at least one month)... One person mentioned that it may have been a reader, rather than Jesus Christ. Yes, possibly.
Today, surfing for other things, I came across:
http://www.all-art.org/history124.html
from the 3rd century Roman "Ipogeo Degli Aureli" (Hypogeum of the Aurelii), in Rome.
The artwork in this hypogeum is mostly Christian. The symbols used in this particular fresco indicate that this fresco portrays Jesus Christ, the "Good Shepherd", feeding His flock with the Word of G_d. +r
