Hi druzhina. why didn't you introduce no sources for the Greece Revolution? So if you can, please introduce the PDF files for that.

Hi komnenos,
The Greece Revolution is a later period than I am interested in. Anyone else?

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
