L'Imperatore d'Occidente

from The Minchiate Fiorentine, 1860-1890

A bearded emperor enthroned with scepter and orb, a black eagle perched on the orb as his badge. Papa tre, usually read as the Emperor of the West; with the Grand Duke below and the Eastern Emperor above he fills the thrones that tarot gives its Empress, Emperor and Pope.
