Charlemagne in official dress with his banner. On his head a crown of the model of the crown of Honorius, the first emperor of the Western Roman Empire.

 

The current structure dates back to the end of the sixteenth century when Pope Sixtus V ordered the demolition of the old Lateran palace, while preserving the Triclinium Leoninum of Pope Leo III (†816) It is possible that some parts of the original mosaics have been preserved in a mosaic in three parts: in the center Christ entrusts their mission to the Apostles, on the left handing over the keys to Saint Sylvester and the Labar to Constantine, while on the right Saint Peter gives the stole to Leo III and the banner to Charlemagne. The current structure is the result of the restoration of 1743 by the architect Ferdinando Fuga that led to the affixing of the coat of arms of Benedict XIV above the niche.

As on the right side is a representation of Christ, St Sylvester and R. COSTANTINVS, the mosaics should have been made between the beginning of the rule of Leo III in 795 and the death of Constantine VI in 797, at the age of  26 (then wearing a short beard).  As such the mosaic is demonstrating the political situation a few years before the coronation of  Charlemagne in 800.
