Generated explanatory media

A temporal scale ladder for Theodore the Stoudite

This companion graphic changes scale from a dated event marker to decade-, lifetime-, and era-level context. It uses only source-supported year labels plus transparent arithmetic differences.

Generated interpretation · not documentary evidenceThis is an original explanatory diagram, not a historical image, reconstruction, portrait, measurement, or source artifact. Each rung uses a different visual scale; read the printed dates and durations rather than comparing bar lengths as one shared timeline.
Temporal scale ladder for Theodore the Stoudite: an 815 event marker; an 815 to 826 difference of 11 years; the 815 to 843 second Iconoclast phase spanning 28 labeled years; Theodore's 759 to 826 date span of 67 years; and an approximate Early Byzantine context from circa 330 to 843.
The ladder is intentionally non-linear across rows so century-scale and decade-scale context can coexist legibly. The 11-, 28-, and 67-year values are simple differences between the displayed year labels.

Interpretive limit: 759–826 supports a 67-year difference between year labels, not an exact age at death without month/day evidence. Likewise, the 815 marker is not assigned an invented event duration.
