The single-headed Byzantine eagle is a single-headed version of the double-headed eagle symbol of the Byzantine Empire. This symbol was used in different periods in the history of the empire and may represent different periods of Byzantium.
The double-headed eagle symbol generally reflects the early Byzantine Empire and its connection with the Roman Empire, while the single-headed eagle symbol may represent later Byzantine periods. The one-headed eagle is usually depicted in a gold or yellow color and is often placed on a red background.
Since the Byzantine Empire has used different symbols throughout history, single-headed or double-headed eagle symbols are important symbols that reflect different periods and transformations of Byzantium.
