The vaulting of the 4th chapel on the left is adorned with frescoes of the four Evangelists, with their symbols above them, and the four fathers of the church, SS. Gregory, Ambrose, Augustine, and Jerome, by Oiotio (who had come to Bavenna on a visit to his friend Dante). In the closed chapel to the left of the choir are some remains of old Jiosaic Pavement ^ representing the storm to which Galla Placidia was exposed, on the left, and figures of animals on the right. ♦S. Apollinaxe Nuovo (PI. 3... ; E, 4, 5), a basilica erected about 500 by Theodoric the Great as an Arian cathedral (8. Mariinus in Coelo aureojy was afterwards converted (570) by the Archbishop S. Agnello into a Roman Catholic church. It has borne its present name since the 9th cent. , when the relics of the saint were trans- ferred hither from Classe. The atrium and apse have been removed in the course of later alterations, but the nave still affords the rare spectacle of a well-preserved interior decoration of the early-Chris- tian period.
