Personal seal
The Vilthian traditions require that each Sovereign should be equipped with a personal seal, designed according to pre-established parameters (although the Sovereign is free to personalize the salient features).
Titianus II adopted as a seal a golden eagle (a black eagle is the symbol of the House Zappi) on a red background (from the seal of the House Zannier).
The eagle wears a 5-pointed crown around the neck (as the Vilthian Crown in tradition) and has on his chest a shield representing the Central Protectorate.
Between the legs it has two cornucopias, a symbol of abundance and wealth.
The personal seal accompanies, together with the signature, every act issued by the Sovereign and it is necessary to prove its authenticity.
Otherwise, the monogram has no legal value and is not provided for by any official legislation, although every sovereign has its own.
The personal monogram of Titianus II is "I T I", the personal monogram as Noble was "F / Z".

Conspiracy theories
Since early 2015, due to the fact that Titianus not appeared publicly since the month of September 2014, many have begun to think that he might have left the office. According to some theories, his resignation would be withheld to ensure the stability of the Central Protectorate. In March the Press Room has released a video message in which the Sovereign apologized publicly, and assured to be still in place. The video explains how Titianus was overburdened with personal commitments also related to the study.
Many have pointed out that in the video, Titianus did not wear the Royal Ring, symbol of the Regency of the State.
This has fueled further theories about it, but no confirmation or denial has come from the Central Protectorate.
Even in the official portrait of the year 2015, Titianus' not wearing the ring with his royal seal.
