Abstract
The most imposing icon in early eighth-century Byzantium was probably the mosaic image of Christ above the Chalke, the bronze gate entrance to the palace built by Justinian to the south of Sancta Sophia. It is said to have been similar in style to a surviving fourteenth-century mosaic (Figure 1, left) in the restored church of St Saviour in Chora. [1]
