Nikolai II

description:

A year-by-year biography, illustrated with photos of Nicholas, his family, possessions, and imperial Russia.

unique features:

A handful of rarely seen photos, such as the Borki train wreck, private rooms of the Winter Palace, and Tsesarevich Nikolai Aleksandrovich (Nixa) and the infant Aleksander Aleksandrovich on their deathbeds.

similar to:

Nicholas Romanov: Life and Death
Romanovs: Love, Power & Tragedy

in my opinion:

A nice complementary volume to Romanovs: Love, Power, and Tragedy, though the photographs are significantly smaller.

This mosaic stands above the main Imperial door from the inner narthex into the sanctuary of Hagia Sophia.  Leo was married too many times and this mosaic was a result of his problems with the Church.

Church Fathers - Tympana of Hagia Sophia

On either side of the nave of Hagia Sophia are great tympana, most of the mosaics there have been lost, but a few fathers of the church survive
