Theodora Mosaic in San Vitale in Ravenna

January 8, 2013 by Henk Bekker

The mosaic of Theodora in San Vitale

The mosaic of Theodora and her court is on the opposite wall from the Justinian mosaic. Both where political propaganda to show Justinian in control of Ravenna and Italy. He never visited Ravenna himself but restored Roman rule over Ravenna for two centuries after being ruled by Gothic tribes.
