Quoting the ABC newspaper: "The plate is believed to have been used to hold Eucharistic bread as it was consecrated in early Christian rituals. It measures 22cm in diameter and fragments of it were unearthed outside the southern Spanish city of Linares." With the picture of a computed reconstruction of the plate, name the three people who are (believed to be) represented on the plate.

=> Jesus Christ flanked by two apostles, believed to be Peter and Paul. The plate shows Jesus as beardless and with shorter hair than His later representations. Its also one of the earliest discovered images of Jesus.
