This design features an artistic interpretation of the Eastern Roman Empire and Byzantium flag, with a Chi Rho Symbol and ancient Greek motifs. Part of the ancient Rome, Medieval history and Byzantine Collection

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. Featuring a distressed double-headed eagle design -- the emblem of the Palaiologoi dynasty of the Byzantine Empire -- this funny history design makes a great gift for the Byzantine fan in your life.

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?
