Vestibule Mosaic of Constantine and Justinian

Everone when visits Hagia Sophia as a tourist today enters from the vestibule on the south side of the building.  Here was discovered a beautiful mosaic.

Mosaic of Leo VI from the Narthex of Hagia Sophia

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.
