Summary edit

Description Anachronistic depiction of a Byzantine imperial coronation by being raised on a shield and crowned. Usually identified as the coronation of Michael I Rhangabe due to its position in the text of the Madrid Skylitzes, the image probably depicts the coronation of a co-emperor (left) by a senior emperor (right), and may be drawn from an unrelated original source. Vasiliki Tsamakda, The Illustrated Chronicle of Ionnes Skylitzes in Madrid, (Leiden, 2002), pp. 44–45.
