The Cleveland Museum of Art contains a carved marble panel that originally formed one of the long sides of a sarcophagus found in Ravenna.

The museum site has another pic and explains about the Christian symbols on it and its original location. Professor Antonio Paolucci, in the Italian art lesson video from which I captured the above pic, says that the bas-relief might imitate the front of Theodoric's Palace.
