An independently written arts-publication essay from Daily Art Magazine describing the San Vitale mosaics in Ravenna, confirming that the apse panel shows Emperor Justinian I in full imperial regalia carrying a paten, positioned among Bishop Maximianus, General Belisarius and his retinue, in a mosaic dated to circa 526 to 547 CE on a gold background, corroborating Wikipedia's account from outside its own editorial process.
