Changes

Thrones have become symbols of royal power and authority but they are also important symbols for the divine and religious authority. The history of thrones show shows a connection to some of the earliest written records, indicating that thrones have been a depiction of power from early history. More recently, the concept of a raised chair has continued, where government heads and leaders of legislation sit on a raised chair position in English speaking modern democracies, demonstrating some continuity with the idea of a raised throne.
