Avete,
Here's a website with many detailed photos of 5th century mosaics from the famous Basillica.

I'm puzzled by the armor worn by King Herod. It looks perhaps Hellenistic - a metalic chest piece coupled with a fabric abdominal piece :? It's like the reverse of the armor seen worn by Alexander from the Pompeii fresco.
The pteruges are interesting. They feature a horizontal line running across the bottom edge.
Anyway, enjoy !
