Dear Carlos,
I suspect that a preliminary question to this problem might be: when
did the pope begin to wear a triple tiara? I believe that this was
at the end of the 13th century or beginning of the 14th. You might
look at Gerhart B. Ladner, Die Papstbildnisse des Altertum und des
Mittelalters. Band III: Addenda et corrigenda, Anhänge und Exkurse.
Schlusskapitel: Papstikonographie und algemeine Porträtikonographie
im Mittelalter, Vatican, Pontificio Istituto di Archeologia
Cristiana, 1984. Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Jim Bugslag
