The ''akakia'' (, literally "guilelessness") was a cylindrical purple silk roll containing dust, held by the Byzantine emperors during ceremonies, and symbolizing the mortal nature of all men. It possibly developed from the ''mappa'', the cloth used by the Roman consuls to start the races at the hippodrome. == Sources == * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Akakia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
