Page "Theodore of Amasea" Paragraph 20

In mosaics and icons, he is most often shown in military dress from the 6th century, but sometimes in civilian or court dress.

When on horseback, he is always in military dress, possibly spearing a dragon, and often accompanied by St George.

Both he and St Theodore Stratelates are shown with thick black hair and pointed beards ( usually one point for Theodore Tiron and two points for Stratelates ).
