medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
The surviving frescoes in the Lower Church tend to be 11th century & in sad shape. For an interpretation of them see this dissertation:
The eleventh-century frescoes of Clement and other saints in the basilica of San Clemente in Rome (Italy)
by Filippini, Cristiana, PhD
THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY, 2000, 460 pages
AAT 9950520
I was one of the examiners, & what the candidate did interpreting difficult images was striking.

There is an image in the lower level of S Clemente in Rome with an image of Mary/Theodora (?) as empress, is there not?

Many years ago, I heard a convincing paper at the MAA meeting in Boston in
which the author argued that Empress Theodora's iconography was the template
or inspiration for images of Mary as Queen of Heaven. Since the idea wasn't
mine, feel free to have a go at the notion.
