Przybycie Palemona do Litwy, r. 57
(The arrival of Palemon in Lithuania, in the year 57). Palemon was the legendary Roman (and relative of Nero) founder of Grand Dukes of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Ruthenia. The legend was probably created in the 15th century, and was recorded in the mid-16th, as proof that Lithuanians and the Grand Duchy have Roman origins. At the time the Grand Duchy rejected the Polish claim that Poland “nobilizied” pagan and barbaric Lithuania.
