| Summary: | The paper deals with the representations of rulers on the coinage of Prince
Lazar while tracing the iconographic and insignological changes in the
depiction of the prince, which reflected Lazar’s political program in
different phases of his reign. Modeling his first representations on the
dinars he minted on the coinage images of the emperors Dušan and Uroš,
shaped on their money according to the formulas of Byzantine imperial
images, after consolidating his power, Lazar gradually left the framework of
the Byzantine ruler iconography and entered the sphere of the western
monarchical image, culminating in the representation of the prince depicted
in a profile bust with a laurel wreath, created under the influence of
Hungarian coinage. |
