Venice At War
The flag of Venice uses one symbol—the Lion of Saint Mark—but in two modes:1. Lion with an open book (LIBER)Book shows the words “Pax tibi Marce, evangelista meus.”This is the peace-time flag. Symbolises Venice as a lawful, commercial, diplomatic republic. Used on state buildings, merchant ships, and most civic occasions.2. Lion with a swordThe lion holds a drawn sword instead of an open book. This is the war-time or military flag. Used historically by the Venetian navy and army. Symbolises defence, sovereignty, and martial authority.
