Since that flag of Byzantium showed a golden double eagle on red ground, of the monk's republic a black double eagle on golden ground.
The double eagle was originally the symbol of roman ruler's power which found use also in flags of the russian czars, the "Holy Roman Empire German Nation" and the austrian-hungarian empire.
