Specifically it is noted that there was a reception of the Old Testament tradition, when the Emperor before the accession to the Throne used the Holy oil or Myrrh (depending on the ethnic or confessional tradition).

In summary, it is proved that the anointing on a Kingdom is one of the Church sacraments.
