[12] Venturi considers that the Throne was made for another Maximian, Archbishop of Constantinople 345, and being taken in the course of time to Venetia, is identical with that mentioned in the Chronicle of the Deacon John; who tells of an ivory throne sent in December, 1001, by the Doge Pietro Orseolo, to the Emperor Otto III., who was then residing in Ravenna, and gave it to the Cathedral. There is no mention of an ivory throne in the Cathedral before this date. Cf. Storia dell’ arte italiana, vol. i., p. 466. Ricci connects this throne with that of St. Mark in Grado. Cf. L’arte italiana decorativa e industriale, vol. vii., p. 104.
