Archaeologists in Turkey discovered a 3rd-century fresco depicting Jesus as the "Good Shepherd" with Roman attributes in an underground tomb near Iznik.

The fresco shows a youthful, clean-shaven Jesus dressed in a toga and carrying a goat on his shoulders, according to The Associated Press, which was the first international media organization given access to the tomb. The outlet noted that researchers say the fresco represents one of the rare instances in Anatolia in which Jesus is portrayed with Roman attributes.
