Title:The Preaching of Ambrose
Notes:Possibly a scene of Ambrose castigating the Arians. This could be a representation of Ambrose debating with Arius, although Ambrose was born shortly after Arius died. The scene could be a conflation of the debates at the Council of Nicea and Ambrose's efforts to curb the spread of Arianism.
