Caption:
Ancient ruins of the Panagia Chrysopolitissa Basilica (also known as
the Early Christian Basilica of Panagia Chrysopolitissa). This 4th century CE Byzantine basilica was said to have been the largest on the island of Cyprus. Today, you can see some of its Christian-themed floor mosaics that remain. The wine vat depicted here has an above inscription that says "Wisdom has mixed her wine in the crater." Although not verbatim, this is possibly an allusion to Proverbs 9:2 in the Old Testament.Keywords: 4th century CE,
