Carvings from the Byzantine Empire period titled 'Talisman Stone in Memory of Scandinavian Mercenaries'

The large talisman from Sweden is a classic example of how to preserve past stories. This talisman monument was carved around 1050-1100 AD to commemorate a father and son who were Scandinavian mercenaries serving the Greek Byzantine Emperor. It is currently housed in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. The Eastern Roman Empire was originally the eastern half of the Roman Empire and was more inclined towards Greek culture. After splitting from the Western Roman Empire, it gradually developed into a country based on Greek culture, Greek language, and later Eastern Orthodoxy. Greece was the core component of the Byzantine Empire and shaped the cultural identity of modern Greece.
