Hi komnenos,
Fall of Constantinople by Mika Toimi Waltari is a historical novel, therefore fiction. A historical novel is a made up story set in a historical setting. Sometimes authors add a note explaining which parts are true, otherwise it has to be checked from other sources.

Hi komnenos,

You did not state which period.
Ian Heath said they used the 'Lady of Blachernae' until it was captured in 1204. He also mentions that Scylitzes ms shows a standard with a cross. You may be able to find it at Manuscript Miniatures

For the 14th century try The Romance of Alexander, Byzantine, 14th century & a 14th century manuscript of the Constantine Manasses Chronicle
