Venice became a more important state in the 1000s and 1100s, and started to build not only their trading empire, but also more equal relations to the Byzantine Empire, the Holy Roman Empire and the Pope in Rome.

Venice appeared as a kind of, but not quite, sovereign polity in the late 700s and 800s. Venetian society, no longer governed directly by Constantinople, nor really independent, had to survive between the two super-powers of their time, Byzantium and the Carolingian Empire.

Why St Mark?

San Marco, or St Mark, is the patron saint of Venice since 828, and the Feast of St Mark on April 25th is an important day in Venice.

Why the winged lion?

There are statues, reliefs and paintings of a winged lion all over Venice. The lion is the symbol of the Evangelist St. Mark

Whoa, there is a "Saint Marko" (St. Mark the Evangelist) depicted in Kiev's St. Sophia Cathedral. Any ideas what he is reading? It's all Greek to me. #kiev #stSophia #mosaic #byzantineArt #greek #byzantium #stMark #stmarko
