To our right, Constantine the Great as a saint while crowned with the imperial stemma, carries the City that bares his name and offers it to the Virgin Mary.
The inscription reads - Constantine, the Great Emperor amongst the saints. (ΚΩΝΣΤΑΝΤΙΝΟC Ο ΕΝ ΑΓΙΟΙC ΜΕΓΑC ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥC ).

To our left, Justinian the First; also with a halo and the imperial stemma (crown). Justinian is holding the church of Hagia Sophia and offers it to the Virgin Mary.
The inscription reads - "Justinian Emperor of illustrious memory" ( ΙΟΥΣΤΙΝΙΑΝΟC Ο ΑΟΙΔΙΜOC ΒΑCIΛΕΥC)

First, kudos to the Chinese authors doing this work & a shoutout to @edwardcholmes also involved
I already flagged this Wang et al. preprint yesterday but it is worth explaining its significance to both the #origins discussion and the related pandemic #prevention discussion

First: Origins
One thing that goes often down in all the noise surrounding #lableak is the fact that SARS-CoV-2, and actually all CoVs, possess #mosaic genomes.
This is because CoVs evolve not only through mutation but also through exchanging genetic elements with other CoVs

This exchange is called '#recombination'.
One can imagine CoV genomes like colorful Lego brick walls, and recombination as taking one brick from a different virus and putting it in the wall of another; changing the color while keeping roughly the function.

#Thread 🧵The Roman villa of #Carranque (Toledo) was built in the 4th century AD on top of the remains of an early imperial rural villa. The building is organised around a #peristlye and has #mosaics, 4 of them figured, in the majority of its spaces #Rome #history
One of the mosaics was displayed in a #cubiculum identified by an inscription and had a numbed female bust (probably an allegory of 'Felicitas') in a medallion, a scene of love and metamorphosis and other characters. The #inscription was displayed at the entrance of the room and
said "Ex Of(f)icing Mas[---]ni/ pignut Hirinius / utter Felix Materne / hune cubiculum" (H Epigr 177)

The famous Europa mosaic from Lullingstone Villa in Kent, mid-Fourth Century AD. #Mosaic
The verse above reads:

The famous Europa mosaic from Lullingstone Villa in Kent, mid-Fourth Century AD. #Mosaic
The verse above reads:
INVIDA SI TA[URI] VIDISSET IUNO NATATUS
IUSTIUS AEOLIAS ISSET AD USQUE DOMOS
Image: English Heritage
This is usually translated:
'If the jealous Juno had seen the swimming of the bull, more justly would she have gone to the Aeolian halls'
Traditionally, this has been linked to Virgil 'Aeneid' 1.50-52, where Juno travels to Aeolus to raise the storm to wreck Aeneas' ships.
'If the jealous Juno had seen the swimming of the bull, more justly would she have gone to the Aeolian halls'
Traditionally, this has been linked to Virgil 'Aeneid' 1.50-52, where Juno travels to Aeolus to raise the storm to wreck Aeneas' ships.
But as this mosaic floor was laid in the period where the traditional Roman pagan religion was vying with Christianity, there have been frequent attempts to identify symbolism within the scene and the text.
When visiting #Rome, tourists usually (and comprehensibly) focus on its #ancient remains. Today for the series #EarlyMedievalPills I'll take you through the #Carolingian city of Pope Paschal I (817-24) who, in only 7 years, left a permanent mark on #Roma's sacred topography 1/11
First I need to tell you about his family: he was the son of Bonosus and Theodora and he was very attached to his mother whom he wanted to be immortalised in the stunning #mosaics decorating that little jewel that is the Chapel of St Zeno in Santa Prassede #Roma 2/11
"Theodora Episcopa": lots of speculation about the reasons why she was called bishop-ess. Two possibilities: either Paschal I's father was a bishop and the honorific title extended to his wife, or Paschal paid homage to his mother by granting her a title of distinction 3/11
