Description
Summary:This study re-examines the first representation of the Arch mosaics at S. Maria Maggiore in Rome, interpreted as the Annunciation.

The theological message of the mosaic is an attempt to refute Pelagian propositions, asserting that the virginal flesh of Christ has not be injured by sin.
