Abstract
Old Russian reliquaries of the 16th and the 17th centuries, i. e. the Late Medieval era of emerging autocracy, are valuable historical sources and masterpieces of art. The appearance of certain relics is associated with the external contacts of medieval states and churches, reflecting various aspects of spiritual life of the time. Among the attachments to reliquaries, either preserved up to now or known from written sources, parts of relics of saint Emperors and Empresses of the 4th to the 10th centuries Byzantium are of special interest. The article attempts to collect information about such relics, as well as analyze their meaning.
