Ravenna, Emilia-Romagna, Italy: Gaspar or Caspar, one of the Biblical Magi or Three Wise Men, said to have followed the Star of Bethlehem to bring gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to the newly born Christ Child. Byzantine mosaic in the Basilica di Sant’Apollinare Nuovo. The mosaic was created in the 6th century AD, a few years after Ravenna was captured by the Byzantine Empire from the Ostrogoths. The Basilica di Sant’Apollinare Nuovo was originally an Arian church, founded by Theodoric the Great (454 - 526 AD), king of the Ostrogoths, and dedicated to the Redeemer. It was built between 493, when the Goths entered Ravenna, and 526, when Theodoric died. At some point between 556 and 565 AD, after Ravenna was taken by the Byzantines, and after an edict relating to Arian property issued by Byzantine Emperor Justinian the Great, the church was consecrated for Catholic use. The majority of mosaics in the Basilica date to the time of Theodoric and are Ostrogoth. But the mosaic depicting the Biblical Magi or Three Wise Men, together with mosaics depicting Martyrs in procession and female Saints in procession, belong to the time of Justinian and are Byzantine.
