It was rediscovered in the early 20<sup>th</sup> century. One of the chief interests of the church lies in its frescoes, which span the period from the 6<sup>th</sup> to 9<sup>th</sup> centuries and run the gamut from Roman to Byzantine to Hellenistic. The subjects of the mural paintings are varied, and encompass biblical scenes like the Annunciation (with one such depiction from the 7<sup>th</sup> century and one from the 8<sup>th</sup> century) as well as icons of saints. Among the saints pictured are Agatha (in a fresco of the 7<sup>th</sup>-8<sup>th</sup> century), Barbara (7<sup>th</sup> century), Solomon (7<sup>th</sup> century), Agnes and Cecilia (9<sup>th</sup> century), and in a long mural painting, Clement and 10 other saints and Christian doctors. Although the frescoes of the church are not in a uniform state of preservation, enough have survived to suggest the rich decorative program of the church in its heyday in which not only its walls, but even its columns were adorned with paintings.<br /><br /><u>Further reading:</u><br />\nAmato, S.
