Old thread, new image:

This is the throne of the Frankish king Dagobert I (623-639 AD), from St. Denis. Looks nicely Late Roman though, right?

Hi Carme,

That figures, as the Norman-Sicilan kingdom was heavily influenced by Byzantium.

By the way, here's a side picture of the "Throne of Maximian":



I also found this picture in one of my books, of the Roman magistrate Rufius Probianus on his throne.



The picture lacks a bit of depth, but it is clear he sits on a office chair of the same design as the throne of Maximian.
It's a diptych of around 400 AD, so I think Galla Placidia definitely has her throne.
Now just the minor details of having it made and decorated  
I do think it does not have to be as opulent as the Throne of Maximian, being over a century younger, but some decoration might be in place.

They were great
