Certainty: 2 In the triumph for Kastamon, only an icon of the Theotokos rode in the chariot
Ioannes II returned to the capital in triumph with many prisoners, and Theodoros Prodromos wrote a hexameter poem summing up all his successes against the Turks. Ioannes ordered the building of a silver-plated chariot with semi-precious stones, drawn by four white horses: it is carefully described. The people attended with great enthusiasm and in large numbers. There were purple cloths and fabric icons in the streets, with wooden platforms for spectators along the route. There were many encomia spoken in prose and verse, by Theodoros Prodromos among others. Ioannes walked in front with a cross to Hagia Sophia, his ministers holding the reins and his sons and close relations behind tending the chariot, in which there rode the icon of the Theotokos, to whom (and God) he ascribed his victories and gave thanks, before entering the palace
