Heirs of the Roman Empire - Finctional Emblem

Description

Inspired by a previous creation of mine: captainvoda.deviantart.com/art…

Charlemagne, the founder of the Holy Roman Empire, was crowned 
"Emperor of the Romans" in Christmas of 800 AD by Pope Leo III. Therefore, two "Emperors of the Romans" coexist in the Medieval Europe. The Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and the Emperor of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire.

Summarizing a German Emperor and a Greek Empress (Irene of Athens) were calling themselves Romans only to gain the imperial inheritance of the Roman Empire.

It and Charlemagne’s support of both the Filioque clause and increased power to the Pope, were the first crack in Orthodox Catholic Communion, but the Greeks should not have looked down their noses at the Gauls. Brotherhood demands compassion.
