whose portrait appears on the choir call to the right of the apse of san vitale ravenna?
east roman emperor justinian i
at the foot of the apse side walls are two famous mosaic panels, completed in 547. on the right is a mosaic depicting the east roman emperor justinian i, clad in tyrian purple with a golden halo, standing next to court officials, bishop maximian, palatinae guards and deacons. the halo around his head gives him the same aspect as christ in the dome of the apse, but is part of the tradition of rendering the imperial family with haloes describe by ernst kantorowicz in the king's two bodies. justinian himself stands in the middle, with soldiers on his right and clergy on his left, emphasizing that justinian is the leader of both church and state of his empire. the later insertion of the bishop maximian's name above his head suggests that the mosaic may have been modified in 547, replacing the representation of the prior bishop with that of the maximian.
