#Byzantine Emperor #Justinian put down the #NikaRevolt to preserve his rule, killing over 30,000; historians generally regard Justinian as the greatest & most successful of the Byzantine emperors but he was a mixed bag at best...

Almost half the #Roman capital #Constantinople was burnt in the #NikaRiots, beginning #ThisDayInHistory in 532 when #Justinian ignored demands for clemency by the Greens & Blues, racing teams, after deaths from hooliganism. ~30,000 were killed and it almost toppled the emperor.

#Justinian blamed the earthquakes of 525 & plague in Constantinople (543) on #QueerSex & passed laws against it. Theodora exploited them to punish a young Green w/torture & castration because he was uncomplimentary to her. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com #QueerHistory

MOSAIC FLOOR PANEL, 526 CE. MADABA ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM, JORDAN This four-colour stone mosaic panel comes from the ancient settlement of Nebo, near a tiny modern village called Khirbet al-Mukhayyat in Jordan, not far from the Israeli-occupied West Bank. During the early rule of the Roman empire in the east, Nebo was packed with churches and monasteries, though the town was abandoned by the C7. This panel comes from the church of St George, the legendary warrior saint of the east, but the floor explicitly expresses peace. At centre, a date palm with a horizontally striped trunk in alternating red and yellow is flanked by two gazelles. At right, in Greek, is the name of the benefactor, Saola, repeated at left in the local Aramaic Palestinian Christian dialect, which rather conveniently can be read in Arabic as "peace". This mosaic and several others are currently in an exhibition in Rome at the Cancelleria.
#MosaicMonday draws us, not unwillingly, into the #Cancelleria in #Rome to explore the remains of early #Christianity in ancient #Jordan, in a one-month state-sponsored exhibition for the #Jubilee. It's a great chance to see little-known #mosaic work from the time of #Justinian. #ClassicsBluesky 🏺
