Church and fresco's

I here group A. a church, B. some fresco's in a grave. The two are not connected, I just wanted to show them more prominently.

The church supposedly has fresco's too, and mosaics, but I never saw them. However, see the comment below the picture: I looked in vain.

There are no frescoes remaining in the church and the mosaics were covered to protect them. A scene of the Peaceable Kingdom was lifted and is now in the museum at Anamur. All mosaics were published by Dr. Sheila Campbell.

The frescoes are part of a group in the tomb labeled BI16 in Elisabeth Alfoeldi's publication of the necropolis at Anemurum. Others in the tomb include a dining couple and the god Hermes as well as servants carrying food on trays.
