Byzantine banner or flag with Greek square cross (11th century)
This flag image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “Byzantine Banner 2.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The 11th-century Byzantine vandon banner, a square shape with pointed streamers probably beared by cavalry. The banner depicting a Greek cross and golden discs, that preceded the later tetragrammatic cross. According to the historian A. Babuin, the flags with crosses quartered with golden discs were from the 10th century, and a depiction of a flag almost identical to the Palaiologan symbolism from the early 13th century.
