Late Roman double serpent symbolism
#1
I saw in the pictures of the late Serbian orthodox patriarch and his staff with the double headed serpent as seen in the Notitia Dignitatum. I saw similar symbols in Istanbul when I went there.

is there a symbolic meaning to this double headed dragon/ serpent?
