The so-called "Diptych of Honorius," made by an unknown artist for the Roman nobleman Anicius Petronius Probus to honor his consulship in 406 AD/CE. The left panel depicts Honorius, then ruler of the Western Roman Empire, in military garb. In his right hand, Honorius holds a standard that reads IN NOMINE CHRI(STI) VINCAS SEMPER ("May you always conquer in the name of Christ"). In his left hand is a globe surmounted by a figure of Victory, representing his claim to universal rule. The right panel depicts Probus himself, likewise in military garb and holding a staff. This diptych is now in the Museo del tesoro della cattedrale di Aosta, Italy. Photo credit: Dea Picture Library/Wikimedia Commons.
