Image Title: Portrait of Paolo Lucio Anafesto

Description: A portrait of Venetian Doge Paolo Lucio Anafesto, traditionally regarded to have reigned from 697 to 717 though historians question whether he even existed. Tradition places Anafesto as a native of Heraclea, elected as Venice’s first supreme magistrate to unite its factions against the neighboring Equilio. His coat of arms, divided horizontally into two, contains a crown in the top half and a fleur-de-lis in the bottom.
