Romanovs

description:

A collective biography of the Romanov dynasty from 1613 to 1917.

unique features:

Photos, paintings and engravings of monarchs prior to Alexander II; political cartoons; photos & artwork of palaces, ceremonies, and the landscape.

similar to:

Last Tsar

in my opinion:

A good historical overview of the Romanov dynasty as a whole – NOT focused on Nicholas II.

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.

This icon was the Imperial standard of Constantinople and was paraded along the walls and carried into battle by emperors. Crusader loot - it's now in Venice
