INFORMATION ABOUT FLAG
EMPEROUR OF CONSTANTYNENOPLE. Gules, a cross between four fire steels reversed or; suggestive of the letter B reversed, the initial of Byzantium.. However, Byzantines were not calling themselves "Byzantines" but Romans, so a probable suggestion for the 4 Bs is "Βασιλεύς Βασιλέων Βασιλεύων Βασιλεύουσιν" (= King of Kings, Reigning over Kings) en:Palaiologos
The double-headed eagle had in the two centuries of Paleologue rule become identified not just with the dynasty but with the Empire itself and, more generally, with institutions and cultural ideas outside the Byzantine Empire that still remained centered on Constantinople.
