By Italian artist Pompeo Girolamo Batoni (1708-1787).
After sitting in prison for two years in Caesarea, Paul was loaded on a ship in the fall of AD 60 and sent to Rome to stand trial. Julius, a Roman centurion, and his men put Paul in chains and transported him on the long, difficult trip. It was a hard, dangerous journey filled with peril, storms, a shipwreck, narrow escapes, and poisonous snakes. In the spring of AD 61, Paul finally arrived in Rome.
