Seal of the Lords
From Battlestar Wiki, the free, open content Battlestar Galactica encyclopedia and episode guide
Commander Adama normally wears a peculiar medallion with his commander's robes.
He explains to Colonel Tigh that the medallion is a symbol of the Colonial faith as well as a symbol of power.
On Kobol, in search of answers to the whereabouts of Earth, Commander Adama uses the medallion as a key that opens the tomb of the Ninth Lord of Kobol (Lost Planet of the Gods, Part II).
Note[edit]
Adama's medallion is analogous to the Arrow of Apollo in the Re-imagined Series story arc. As in "Lost Planet of the Gods," the new series' characters also search for the way to Earth by accessing another ancient tomb of a Lord of Kobol, where the Arrow is the key to the data in the episode, "Home, Part II."
