Hi User10,

On the right side ---> To the right

and I think the last line should be:

"...Justinian II, is holding a sapellum in his hands."

Thank you User10 and Lilian!
You are my Masters!
And may I ask a further question?
Cultural differences are very obvious, because I don't understand why did Justinianus II hold such a thing. Can I guess it was a symbol of succession or power? Or did it mean the temple was celebrated for him? Or he was the real owner of the ST. Ravenna temple? Then, what is the use or purpose of the small chapel?

I bet it was not a practical tool or toy.
