Tetrarchs of Venice

myminifactory

This column of Tetrarchs are crafted from igneous rocks, featuring four distinct figures. Dated back to approximately 300 AD, it has been securely positioned at a corner of the facade of St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, Italy since the Middle Ages. The statues likely originally adorned the columns of the Philadelphion's porch in Constantinople. This object is part of "Scan The World", a non-profit initiative launched by MyMiniFactory.
