Description

The left side of the engraving depicts Empress Irene of the Eastern Roman Empire sitting on her throne. There is a man kneeling in front of her presenting her with the globus cruciger to demonstrate her authority. The right side of the image depicts the pope crowning Charlemagne as emperor. The pope did not recognize Irene’s rule as she was a woman, which led him to coronate Charlemagne as emperor. He is presenting Charlemagne with a crown as well as the globus cruciger.
