The Flag

"Ελευθερία ή θάνατος!" 

-        Greek War of Independence 

The supposedly 'mistress' Anna sent the admiral and his army a gorgeously designed banner of war, using the most out standing silken material from the whole of Thessaly, and what she means by sending this flag is simple as described in the letter which came along with the flag; If Antonius managed to survive through this hardship along side with the city of Thessaloniki, he will have the amount of influence and prestige to no longer have the need to rely on the legitimacy given from the emperor of Constantinople, and then his entire army can fly this banner with pride. 

But for now, Antonius still has to keep the banner of royal purple and Orthodox Chi Rho decorated with the double headed eagle.
