Tienen is one of the oldest cities in Belgium and received city rights in 1168. The oldest symbol of Tienen was the Paschal Lamb or Agnus Dei. The lamb appeared on the coins struck in the city in the 12<sup>th</sup> century and also on the oldest known seal dating from 1229. On the seal the lamb wears a collar with a small shield with a bar. The origin of this small shield is not known, but according to legend it was granted to the city by Duke Jan van Brabant in the 13<sup>th</sup> century. A later seal, from 1398, also shows an Agnus Dei with the above arms. | Tienen is one of the oldest cities in Belgium and received city rights in 1168.
