## Image Caption
[Byzantine](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Byzantine/) regent Theodora and her young son, the emperor [Michael III](https://www.worldhistory.org/Michael_III/) (r. 842-867 CE). The icon, known as "The [Triumph](https://www.worldhistory.org/Roman_Triumph/) of Orthodoxy", dates to the early 15th century CE but is itself a copy of an older one which commemorates the restoration of icons in the Christian Church in March 843 CE.
