Mosaic medallions in the nave of the Papal Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls (Rome, Italy) depict all of the popes through history. Above the round medallions, pilastered Corinthian columns flank arched windows. Large frescoes also appear in this register of the nave, as shown in the upper left of the photograph.
