520 |a Once Theodore Doukas conquered Thessalonica in 1224, he struck coins picturing Saint Demetrios and Archangel Michael presenting him with a triple-towered castle. Thereafter, this type of castle was continuously depicted on the coinage of Thessalonica mint until the early 14th century. The article begins with the examination of each of these emissions in connection to the changing political conditions prevailing in the Balkan territories under Byzantine rule. It then proceeds with investigating potential sources of inspiration. Focus is placed on archaeological and numismatic evidence from Greece,Western Europe and East Mediterranean. Combining political, cultural and ideological factors with the aspirations of Theodore’s short-lived empire, Hohenstaufen Italy is suggested as the potential source from which the triple-towered castle was transferred and assimilated in the late Byzantine imagery of power, as depicted on coinage.
