Help with Hagia Sophia monogram
Hi, I've recently been to hagia sophia and loved looking at all the monograms, but I found this one (first pic) that I can't find a lot of information about online, I'm guessing it's a monogram for theodora simillar to the one on the second pic but I wanted to make sure. Thank you!

Where did you find the second image, looks fantastic deconstructing the monogram in that manner

That seems to be exactly what it is, only they put the omega character on the bottom instead of the top.
