About this picture …

One of four lions at the Venetian Arsenal, two of which were looted from Athens by Francesco Morosini in 1687, during the Great Turkish War. One of the lions is especially remarkable for the Norse runes scratched into it, dating back to the time of the Norman Invasion in 1066, a memorial to a fallen warrior. See Home Page for more information.
