History

After its use in the Byzantine Empire, the Double-Headed eagle became a popular emblem in Europe. It was used by the Holy Roman Empire and later adopted by the Russian Empire in the 15th century under Ivan III. The two heads of the eagle were often seen as representing both secular and religious authority.
