Mosaic of the Virgin between Justinian and Constantine in St Sophia. Last quarter of the tenth century. The lunette od the second gate of the southern vestibule of the inner narthex.Constantine presents her with the city of Constantinople, while Justinian offers her Saint Sophia. This was made long after either of these two emperors lived, probably in the 10th century, during the reign of Basil II.
