Empires run on paperwork, and nobody in history ran more of it, longer, than Byzantium. The imperial eagle on this shirt watches over Form XLVII B, which is a joke with deep roots: Constantinople administered an empire for over a thousand years through ranked offices, sealed documents, tax registers, court ceremonies choreographed to the minute, and officials whose job titles alone required translation. The system worked so well that the empire outlived its western half by a millennium, and worked so elaborately that the word byzantine now simply means complicated beyond reason in any language you file it in. Somewhere in that administration there was certainly a queue, a stamp, and a man explaining that your request needed the other form first. This shirt salutes him, and every modern clerk, caseworker, and form survivor keeping an empire upright today. Printed to order on a soft Gildan Softstyle 64000 unisex tee.
