Description: Coat of Arms for the Roman Imperial Komnene dynasty. The double headed eagle has been a Roman symbol of caesaropapism, unification of church and state, since late antiquity, though was never a national flag. It is Anatolian in origin, hailing from the Hittites, but via the usage of the Roman Empire many other countries adopted it as well, such as the Holy Roman Empire, the Seljuk Sultanate and their Rumish successors, and the Russian Empire.
Description: No other symbol manifests the idea of an empire better than the two-headed eagle, and no other empire shaped these ideas into reality better than the Roman Empire. I present to you a magnificent specimen of a golden feathered eagle, bearing on its chest the symbol of the last ruling dynasty - the Paleologos. Glory, splendor, and prestige will befall the person proudly wearing this glorious bird on his or her chest... This, as well as enormous spendings on bird food, as two-headed eagles, because of reasons completely unknown to us, have twice the apetite for all kinds of snacks. The imperial right to rule is, after all, the right to rule the world, but what is the point of all that power if one cannot get his favourite snack?
Description: Any historian of the Byzantine (Eastern Roman) Empire knows the significance of the year 1453. That was the year the empire dissolved after the Fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Empire. This funny history t-shirt makes a great gift for any Byzantine or Palaiologos Dynasty fan.
Description: Proud specimen of double-headed eagle, stright out of the middle ages. Medieval, sharp-looking both East and West, as true Emperor of heraldic birds should. Now you can give him home he's looking for so eagerly. He can guard your mug, phone, clothing or important papers, while giving them most regal look. He doesn't mind, because he loves you - as good Emperor should.
Description: In European history, Byzantium, the Byzantine Empire or the Eastern Roman Empire was the continuation of Ancient Rome and the Roman Empire, i.e SPQR. Byzantium survived the fall of Roman Empire, lasting a thousand years until the end of the Medieval era.

Description: This majestic flag gives your posessions this coveted imperial style - and rightly so - after all, you represent a long lost empire and its brilliant traditions. But don't worry, you're looking great! After all, this little device was used since 14th century for a good reason. And what are those four „B” letters on your flag, you ask? They mean „Basileus Basileon, Basileuon Basileuonton”, which translates to „King of kings, ruling over those who rule”. Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
