Interesting image from the of Marcus and Marcellianus of Moses or Peter striking the rock between two kanephoroi. Kanephoroi were unmarried women who led processions in ancient Greece carrying baskets containing grain offerings and the knife for slaughtering the sacrificial bull.

One of several amazing frescoes in an underground chamber in Santa Maria in Stelle (near Verona). Originally a nymphaeum, the space was converted to a space for Christian teaching in the 5th c. This fresco depicts Jesus entering Jerusalem on a donkey.
