| Abstract: | The paper analyzes the iconography of the representations of St. George on the coins of the Bar commune, minted back in the fourteenth century. It was noticed that the image of St. George on horseback slaying a dragon, which is on the obverse of coins minted in Bar, was also on the seal of the city of Bar, as well as on the seal of the Bar Cathedral Chapter dating back to the fourteenth century, because St. George, the patron of the cathedral which was the seat of the Archdiocese of Bar, with the development of the commune also became its patron. The iconographic solution of the representation of the patron saint of Bar points to a temporal constant when following an important iconographic template which seems to have been the foundation for the design of the symbol on which the visual identity of the Bar commune, as well as its cathedral, is based. It would appear that the template should be sought in the very cathedral located in Bar itself, which was the source of the cult of St. George in Bar. |
