Nova Roma Shirt (Byzantium Edition)

This tee features the emblematic symbol of the Eastern Roman Empire: a double-headed eagle with the letters 'Nova Roma,' a name by which the city of Constantinople was known since it represented a similarly mighty city as Rome itself. The double-headed eagle represented the dual authority of the emperor and the patriarch, as well as the unity of the empire’s domains in Europe and Asia.

'Nova Roma' was the name given by Emperor Constantine the Great to his new capital city, which he founded on the site of the ancient Greek colony of Byzantium in 330 AD. Constantinople was the center of culture, religion, and politics for the Eastern Roman Empire for more than a thousand years until its fall to the Ottoman Turks in 1453.

This shirt is made from 100% high-quality cotton and is a stylish way to express your interest in history and your appreciation for the achievements of the Eastern Roman people. Whether you wear it for a casual outing or during history studies, this shirt will make you feel like a citizen of 'Nova Roma.'
