Iconography and ornamentation reference Sasanian art and explain the peculiar way in which Alexander's Ascent was commonly depicted in Medieval times. The mosaics predate all known illustrations of the three tales by halfamillennium and attest to their early currency in the Greek world, ahead of the oldest textual evidence.
