ヨハネス1世ツィミスケス
The emperor was initially identified, by the French Byzantinist André Grabar, with Basil II ( 976–1025), and his triumphal return from his wars against the Bulgarians. Modern research however has concluded that the cloth represents John I Tzimiskes (r. 969–976) and his return in 971 from his campaign against the Rus', who had invaded and occupied Bulgaria.
