The Four Tetrachs

The Tetrarchs stand on the south-west corner of St. Mark's Basilica - since 1204. The carvings was taken from Constantinople, during the Fourth Crusade. The statues were carved around 300, depicting Diocletian, Maximian, Galerius and Constantinus I. They are the four Tetrachs. One of the Roman Emperors lost a part of the foot, when the carving was stolen in Constantinople. During an excavation in Istanbul in the 1960s a part of this foot was found.
