Emperor Justinian And His Retinue
Theodora and Justinian perhaps never set foot in Ravenna, Italy, but in the church of San Vitale one can find mosaics dedicated to Justinian and Theodora. Across from Theodora's mosaic, one can also find Justinian's mosaic. Both Mosaics lack in naturalism and are full of repeted patterns. Also both Theodora and Justinian wear imperial purple.
The mosaics of Theodora and Justinian are both exactly measured the same (2.64x3.65 m). Theodora's mosaic is located on the left wall of the apse and Justinian's is on the right wall of the apse.
