Roman Empress Theodora, I was just recently quoting wikipedia about her effort against Homosexuality and Prostitution.

She has some dinaric features like nose (let's assume) cause it's not obvious from that mosaic painting.

I would also like to hear more about her phenotype.

Imo she's a Dinaro-Med, judging from some facial reconstructions.

She was probably beautiful.

Iconoclasm in Roman Empire has destroyed the love for statues. I've always considered statues as a true historical monuments not as a places of worship as Iconoclasts were thinking.

Statues have preserved the knowledge about Ancient Romans while Iconoclasm has destroyed the knowledge of the Romans who lived in between 8th and 13th century.
