Mosaic in Santa Maria Maggiore, Rome

The Parting of Lot and Abraham is one in a series of mosaic scenes, probably dating to the 430s, decorating the nave wall of Santa Maria Maggiore, one of the most prominent basilican churches in Rome.

The mosaic shows the story in the Book of Genesis of the parting of Abraham from his nephew, Lot, as they choose opposing paths. Abraham (on the left), with Isaac and the rest of his family, chooses the road to Canaan, as God intends him to, and Lot chooses to take his followers to Sodom.^[1]
