What will be an ideal response?

Essay responses should include these points:
• The practice of syncretism is demonstrated in the art and architecture of the early Christian Church.
• Early Christian art has elements of Greek and Roman pagan traditions.
• One example includes the Roman-inspired image of Jesus with attributes of Apollo.
• The architectural influence is demonstrated through the ambulatory vault mosaic of the Church of Santa Costanza, Rome; the images of vines are reminiscent of Dionysian worship.
