Mosaic picture

When clicked on the caption say the far left figure is Justinian II, I would not say that is true unless it can be absolutely proved. And Heraclius and Tiberius, is which one is which proved? The wording on the actual mosaic gives the impression Heraclius is second figure from the left after "justinian", but it might be that the oldest is nearer the father, the opposite to the wording on the mosaic?

Also, the wording on the mosaic is said to have been added at a later date, possibly mistakenly made to look period but incorrectly? They have used V in Constantinvs, but with a coin of his great grandfather emperor Heraclius we can see the V is well evolved into being a U, https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FnCcefcXoAAwwxc?format=jpg&name=900x900 Middle More Rider (talk) 15:55, 22 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Bearded or beardless Constantine IV?

edit

The mosaic depicts Constantine IV as beardless but his coin depicts him bearded, why the discrepancy? Same with Justinian II Yourlocallordandsavior (talk) 19:21, 18 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
