Triclinium Leoninum, Archaeological site at Lateran district, Rome, Italy.
The Triclinium Leoninum features a brick structure with an apse and mosaic artwork near San Giovanni in Laterano cathedral.
Pope Leo III constructed this dining hall between 795-816 as part of the medieval Lateran Palace, using funds from Charlemagne's Avar war spoils.
The apse mosaic displays Christ giving keys to Saint Peter and a banner to Emperor Constantine, representing the division of power between Church and Empire.
The structure measures 68 meters in length and 15 meters in width, containing five niches on each long side and one central niche.
The current mosaic dates from 1743 when Ferdinando Fuga rebuilt the structure after its original demolition, with artist Pier Leone Ghezzi creating the reproduction.
