Problem
i. What type of plan for a Christian church was used for San Vitale in Ravenna? Identify and describe the parts of this church plan as though you were entering San Vitale and walking around as a tourist.
ii. How is Justinian's political power as the Byzantine Emperor read symbolically in the Emperor Justinian and his Attendants mosaic in the apse of San Vitale? Alternatively how is his religious power as emperor read symbolically in his mosaic?
iii. Why was it so important for Justinian and Theodora to assert their political and religious power as the Byzantine Emperor and Empress at this time (about 547) in Ravenna?
