208 ''Adoration' by the Pope. 209 Pope Leo, with the consent of all the bishops and priests and of the chief men of the Franks and like- wise of the Romans, set a golden crown upon his head, while the Roman people shouted aloud : ' To Charles Augustus, crowned by God the great and peace-giving emperor of the Romans, Life and Victory ! ' After hymns of praise had been sung by the people, he received the adoration of the pope, ' after the apostolic manner of the ancient em- perors, since this als...o was done by the will of God. For while the emperor was at Rome, certain men were brought to him saying that the name of the emperor had ceased among the Greeks, and a woman held imperial rule among them, Irene by name, who had caused her son, the emperor, to be seized by treachery, and had put out his eyes and usurped for herself the imperial rule, as it is written of Athaliah in the Book of Kings. When they heard of this, Leo the pope, with all the assembly of the bishops, priests, and abbots, the senate of the Franks, and all the elders of the Romans, with the rest of the Christian people, held a council, and decided that they ought to give to Charles, the king of the Franks, the name of emperor, inasmuch as he held Rome, the mother of the empire, where the Caesars and the emperors always used to sit, and lest the heathens should mock the Christians if the name of emperor had ceased among them.
