AFTER CAREFULLY REVIEWING THE RESOURCES ASSIGNED ABOVE: Answer the following questions completely and with specificity to the provided resources, personal reflection, and additional research as needed:

1. Church mosaics usually depicted images of Christ and other Biblical characters and stories....why does this mosaic depict an Emperor?
2. What are the general characteristics of figures in the Byzantine style?
3. The artists who made this mosaic would have been aware of the realism depicted in earlier Greek sculptures....with that in mind, for what reasons are the figure depicted here more symbolic and seemingly without  knowledge of the mechanics of the human figure?
CURIOUS? Here's some more information:
