Unique seal of Prince Svyatoslav in the church of the Golden Gate. 10th century

The Golden Gate Church was located at the top of the gate and was intended for aliens and gatekeepers.

The Dome of the Golden Gate Church.

The Sanctuary of the Golden Gate Church.

In the sanctuary of the Golden Gate church there is a seal of Prince Svyatoslav  "The Brave". He is son of Prince Igor and the father of Yaroslav "The Wise".

And it was sealed with the seal of the prince himself.  Apparently the seal had the form of a drop of blood. Ie the prince himself swore by his blood and life not only his own but also all the subjects of  Kievan Rus. This confirmed that his word was harder than flint and iron.  

This seal is cemented by the treaty between Rus-Ukraine and Byzantium and transferred personally by the prince from Bulgaria to Kiev. It was a treaty between the states on peace and commonwealth. 

Obverse

On the seal is the two-pronged coat of arms of Prince Igor, who crossed his son's inscription on the ancient Greek "prince" and abbreviated Svyatoslav.

Reverse.

I wish that the current rulers had the same firm word as the worthy ancestor Prince Svyatoslav!
