I’ve not much to say on this other than a hypothesis from the researcher involved: Gunnar Heinsohn claims that the Latin/Italian Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire and the Holy Roman Empire were not separate empires that proceeded after one another, but rather the same empire existing at the same time. According to him, it was all essentially German. Also stating that the double-headed eagle symbolised this unified empire, one head watching over the west and the other the east.
Has anyone heard of this theory before? Is it fact?
