The scenes could be interpreted as a representation of the slaughter of the innocents, the sacrifice of a bull, the Baptism of Christ, and a naval battle. The latter, if concerning the history of the Jewish people, could depict the battle of the Sea of Galilee of 68 A.D. The tiles were probably part of a bigger complex related to the history of the Jewish and Christian people. -
