These are the famous mosaics of the Empress Theodora (top) and the Emperor Justinian (bottom). They're in the Church of San Vitale in Ravenna, Italy. Aren't they exquisite? I have a fascination with the Byzantine Empire and its history. Lots of colorful and interesting characters, Theodora and Justinian high among them. Someday, I plan to journey to Ravenna and see these mosaics myself. Till then, I'll just enjoy the pictures.
