As Romaboo said though it wasn’t completely replaced by the double headed eagle and throughout the majority of the Byzantine Empire’s life the Single headed eagle remained the 2nd most venerated symbol after the Cross. And while the double headed eagle was a dynastic symbol that became dominant in the late 1200s, it was never the symbol of the state. The only symbol that can truly be given that role is the 4 B Tetragrammatic Cross starting with Andronikos Palaiologos at the end of the 1200s.
Well, the first Eastern Roman dynasty that introduced the double-headed eagle in Rhōmania (Eastern Roman Empire) were the Comneni, especially Isaakios (1007-1060) whose family claimed descent from Comne (hence Comneni), an area in Paphlagonia, where the symbol of Haga, a mythical & giant eagle with two heads, represented power and immortality
I am always so impressed reading how much historical knowledge some people have about certain things. I’m always learning tons of shit in the comments, and then it leads to google searching and then rabbit holes that can take me all the way to “ten most popular UFO stories from Ohio”. 😅
The Holy Qur'an explains that they are just fragmented cults from forefathers that had no knowledge but, to worship Satan....infact...Moses PBUH said this to the Children of Israel when they wanted the canninits? god(s).
in orthodox churches there are a lot of double headed eagles on decorations like carpet and in the wooden chairs. Most even have a flag outside with a black eagle on a yellow backround. If what my dad told me was correct then there is some symbolism in it. The left head is looking to the west, the right to the east (because the empire was in 2 continents) it allways holds a sword in one foot to represent the might of the empire and a sphere in the other to represend the whole world
Because it's the symbol of the Hellenistic Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium), which was Orthodox Christian. Even though the Western Roman Empire had fallen, the emergence of the Holy Roman Empire in the West became Catholic, before all that, the East and West was united as one Christian Church.
The one thing I know about the Hittites is that it seems like they had few friends and numerous enemies. The Hebrew Bible names them as one of the tribes the Israelites were supposed to give no quarter to. The Egyptians had a stale mate against them that resulted in the first peace Treaty in recorded history. The Mycean Greeks had to keep an eye on their territories in Asia Minor (western coast of Anatolia) at all times thanks to them being right next to the Hittites. Every time I've read about them, they were at war with someone.
The double-headed eagle has additionally another meaning. It symbolizes that the empire ruled both the west and the east. In the Ancient Greece was used as a symbol of the oracle of Delfi. The legend says that Zeus released one eagle from the west and one eagle from the east, and they met at Delfi. So probably the reason was to emphasize that the Roman Empire (Constantinople ) was the earth's center destined to rule both east and west.
It was also used in the Spanish Empire... Some of the Viceroyal symbols of Spanish America include double headed eagles and the meaning here was the Empire in the old world and the empire in the new world as one.
Throughout my life, thought that the double eagle was meant that the Eastern Empire, divided forever by Theodosius, wanted to reclaim the Western Empire... which is now refuted by how late the Byzantines have adopted the symbol of an Anatolian empire fond of heavy war chariots.
Theodosius never really devided the empire.He just did what several previous emperors already did many times before-redistributing power among more emperors in empire which was still understood as just one single Roman state by the Romans themselves.
And in hystory Double headed eagle always fought the Eagle. One headed is material, two headed is complete both material and spiritual. Very alegorical, both sacred and propane.
Not because it was a "cool symbol" but because it was viewed as an improvement on the Roman single headed eagle, showing that the two heads, the church and state, were caretakers under the crown, God Almighty.
There seems to be a problem here. The depictions of double headed eagles in connection to the rulers of Germany date to 1250, Serbia to 1190 and the Latin empire was said to have minted coins with the double headed Eagle. all these predate the rise of the Palaiologos. Could there be multiple pathways in the spread of the symbol?
A decaying Empire: 1261-1453 By the fourteenth century, the J’3ωι5Η question of Byzantium seemed to be most concerned with Venetian J’3ω5.

Byzantium was a truly magical empire, at a time when the rest of Europe was beginning to fall into the dark ages Byzantium flourished as a center of science and culture - unfortunately, the Ottoman hordes from the east successfully destroyed it.

This eagle was symbolising two powers of "basileus ton Romaion" - political and spiritual. It was the doctrine called "caesar-papism" - supremation of the ruler over religion and political spheres.

The Roman Eagle was the symbol of Jupiter and the roman legions, not of Rome on itself (that was, and still is today, the female wolf feeding Romulus and Remus). Since Emperor Constantine I the Great had a vision of Jesus saying “in hoc signo vinces” (with this symbol, you’ll win) before the battle of Ponte Milvio, the legions switched from an eagle to a Chi Rho symbol, often with portraits of the Emperor and other figures on the Labarum. Also i believe Palaiologos is pronounced as “Paleologos”.
Best eagle symbol is the single headed eagle🦅. With a serpent🐍 in his talen. While perched on a cactus 🌵. On a patch on land. In the center of a swampy lake🏞.
The origins of the double-headed eagle are unknown, we just know that a lot of middle-eastern and near-eastern art had them and that a lot of kingdoms there used it as a symbol, the earliest use which we know of is from Egypt. So claiming it comes from the hittites is blatant misinformation.

The double headed eagle was first used by the sumerians....hittites among others used it later....It is highly unlikely that the Palaiologoi ever saw a hittite double headed eagle...Double headed eagle is an evolution of the Roman eagle symbolizing the religious and secular authority of the emperor...
You could have explained the meaning of the eagle as well I heard many meanings behinds it's symbolism but the one I find to be the most valid one is that it represents the emperor and the 2 heads represent his power * the military and religious one
The double headed eagle was common among all Empires (Holy Roman Empire and then Austria, Russian Empire,the Sultanate of Rum and the Seljuk Caliphate). The double-headed eagle was representing Austria.
Th eagle was the symbol of the roman empire. So when the empire split in 2 the symbol wasn't about symbolizing 2 heads in one body, Rome and Constantinople. Two emperors ruling the same empire. Nah it was about some local legend of a group of people that were long gone by that time, like 2000 years long gone. I'm familiar with this legend but it makes no sense at all.
