Putin sat on the "Θρόνος", the "Throne" which all Orthodox churches have. Usually it's for a bishop, but any big wig can sit on them. I suspect one of the God Ordained emperors may well have sat on this particular one, but it wasn't then nor is it now reserved for emperors.

THanks. I knew you'd know!
I'd been wondering whether this was a "Leo crowns Charlemagne" moment.

Thank-you for the info because last night I was looking for a Byzantine throne online info and could not fine it. Have a good and blessed, safe Memorial Day holiday weekend.
