Arian Baptistery, Ravenna PDF Print
Guide Italia - Emilia-Romagna

The Arian Baptistery is located in Ravenna and was built at the time of Theodoric, in the first half of the sixth century.

Since the Aryan religion, decided to live together peacefully Goths (Aryans in fact) and Latinos ("Orthodox", meaning followers of the canonical doctrine), although the two ethnic groups were kept separate. This choice involves separate quarters and two places of worship in the city.

Near the Palace of Theodoric, the king built a basilica to the Arians (modern church of the Holy Spirit, of which little remains from the time of Theodoric), and a baptistery, now says of the Aryans to distinguish it from more than a century old Neoniano (the Orthodox).
