Description
Mosaic of Empress Zoe (1028-1050) and her third husband , Constantine IX Monomachus (1042-1055) surrounding Christ , commemorating their gifts to the church . She holds a list of donations and the emperor , a bag of gold . It is thought that the mosaic was originally commissioned by Zoe's first husband , Romanus II Argyrus (1028-1034) , who paid for extensive repairs to the church . Evidently his head and name were replaced with those of her two successors , both of whom married the royal widow .

Digitization
Prof. Paul Brians created these photographs using an Olympus Camedia D-490ZOOM with available light, no tripod. A couple of dozen photos toward the end of the trip were made on Kodak disposable cameras. Paul Brians also provided captions and other descriptive information for the images that were cataloged and uploaded to the CONTENTdm server at the WSU Libraries.
