Reference: Rex is the word most frequently used in biblical and liturgical language to designate God or Christ. It is generally used for Christ, as the three letters appear on numerous halos on crucifixions. It is also associated on the cross with the words lex, lux and pax. The capital is attributed to the twelfth century.
Reference: The scene of Daniel in the lions' den is one of the most represented biblical episodes (Daniel 6:2-20). Christians view the deliverance of Daniel as a symbol of Resurrection. The scene is represented 39 times in the catacombs in Rome. The liturgy for the dead references Daniel, who is referenced in an ancient commendatio animae (Libera Domine animam servi tui sicut liberasti Danielem de lacu leonum). This capital can be dated to the twelfth century.
Description: At the summit, Christ sits in Majesty, making a gesture of blessing and holding a book. On each side of Christ, at the same height as his knees, are two bas-reliefs of angels. At the feet of the angels are two reliefs that depict St. Peter, on Christ's right, and St. Paul, at Christ's left.
