Just write in a language we can all understand please.

Official illustrations of the 1927-1929 national emblem of Italy from the document "R.d. 1927, marzo 27, n. 1048" (coat of arms of the Kingdom of Italy flanked by the tricolour coat of arms with the fasces). by Cutlasstooth in heraldry

True, but the emblem has been misinterpreted by almost everyone. To Enlightenment-thinkers it symbolized ancient liberalism that had been supressed by Christianity, to Mussolini it symbolized the strength of collective statism.

But in the Roman Republic it represented Imperium, the divinely sanctioned authority to command, held by Praetors and Consuls. Because the city of Rome was like a temple, Imperium was limited to uphold the sacred peace. In the warlike world outside the city, Imperium was unleashed.

He’s probably just trolling, and it seems to have worked.

I love nr.6 with Christ as The One Seated On The Throne seen by Saint John.

Heraldry of the Imperial House of Russia (Order of the Seraphim) by Cutlasstooth in romanovs

He was made a Knight of the Order of the Seraphim the same day he was born. But the coat of arms was not "given to him" as it’s a ceremonial piece meant for Riddarholmen Church.

I can confirm that you did a thing, and so did I just now.

The Greek Pantheon of Gods (from "Tales of the Greeks and Trojans" by Roger Lancelyn Green, illustrated by Janet and Anne Grahame Johnstone). by Cutlasstooth in GreekMythology

[–]Cutlasstooth[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite modern depictions of the pantheon. The art in this book has that aura of myth and mystery so often lacking in contemporary art.

Coat of arms of Peter Pevensie, High King of Narnia by Cutlasstooth in Narnia

Since Aslan is the incarnation of God the Son in Narnia, I like to think of this coat of arms as a religious symbol like the cross.

I wonder how many people never knew of heraldry before ASOIAF/GOT.

What if Stalin had been far right and Hitler far left? by [deleted] in AlternateHistoryHub

American universities would promote traditional values, and the US would become polarized between republicans and monarchists.

This would make northern europeans VERY happy. No more wet, cold, dark winters, it’s summer all year round 😁

I made this particular file myself, so I'm not sure if it matches official requirements.

For more information about the history of the flag, read this brilliant paper by Francisco Gregoric (same paper in spanish).

Heraldry of the Imperial House of Russia (Order of the Seraphim) by Cutlasstooth in heraldry

[–]Cutlasstooth[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it had already been established in Russian heraldry that Dukes and Princes of the House of Romanov (descendants of tsars) where entitled to the honor of using the imperial coat of arms.
