Title
Chrysobull of Alexios III of Trebizond
Description
Detail depicting Alexios (r. 1349-90) and his wife, Theodora. The Chrysobull was to the Dionysiou monastery on Mount Athos. The Chrysobull gave the founder of the monastery a sum of 100 somia of silver (about 1000 gold hyperpyra) in order to build the monastery, and promised an additional annual grant of 1000 silver aspers. In exchange, Dionysios would ensure that the names of the emperor and his family were included in the church services in perpetuity and would receive special welcome should they come to the monastery (as monks or regular visitors). The Chrysobull measures 301 x 40.3 cm and retains its gold seal.
