Two Headed Symbols.

Both Russia and Germany display
two headed eagles on their standards
Yet this symbol is considered by some
heralds to be merely the result of the
heraldic practice of ''dimidiation." This
was simply child's way of impaline
two coats of arms on the same shield
by the primitive method of cutting
each in half and taking the dexter halt
of one and the sinister half of the other
and placing them back to back, as II
were. Strange two headed beasts nat,
urally resulted, as, for instance, when
a lion and an eagle were halved and
Joined together. The griffin is sup.
posed to have been evolved from two
lions rampant by dimidiation. 1t robs
the two headed eagle of half its ter.
rors to know that it owes it's origin
to this sort of childs play.
