Further to Antoninus of Piacenza:
In that earlier post's notice of this saint, the link at the end of the second paragraph to the Italian-language page on Travo (PC) with matter on its chiesa di Sant'Antonino no longer functions. Use this instead:

A revised set of links to medieval portrayals of Gregory the Illuminator:

b) Gregory the Illuminator as depicted in an early fourteenth-century fresco (ca. 1310) in the church of the Aphendiko at Mistra (or Mystras):
