Italy; Apulia; city of Barletta: bronze statue "Colossus of Barletta" at north front of Basilica del Santa Sepolcro (Basilica of the Holy Grave of Jesus); according to legends; the bronze statue was found in the harbour of Barletta; shortly after 1204; when crusaders hat looted Constantinople during the 4th Crusade. A Venician ship turned back but shipwrecked and lost the statue in the harbour of Barletta. Most credited scientific explanation is; that the statue had been in Ravenna and was transported from there to Barletta according to a report of 1279 of the minorite monk Tommaso da Pavia. Emperor Frederick II of Hohenstaufen had ordered excavations in Ravenna; in 1231 and 1232. There the colossus was found and brought to Apulia. The 5;11 m high bronze statue; in 1309 lost some legs and arms; as Dominicans made bells of these. In 1491; the colossus was reconstructed and the missing parts re-added. The statue of most probably 5th century AD shows a late East Roman Emperor; most probably Emperor Teodosius II (reign 408 - 450 AD); and was installed; most probably; by Emperor Valentinian III; in 439; in Ravenna. Earlier; it was thought; that it showed Emperor Heraclius (reign 610 - 641 AD). Locals called the statue therefore "Eraclio". Other theories favor Valentinian I (reign 364 - 375); Arcadius (reign 395 - 408); Honorius (reign 393 - 423); Marcian (reign 450 - 457); Justinian I (reign 527 - 565) or even Emperor Leo I the Thracian (reign 457 - 474). The Basilica del Santa Sepolcro (Basilica of the Holy Grave) dates back to 1130 and was even mentioned in 1182; by the Pope. It was erected at an important crossway of the pilgrim way Via Francigena and the way from Canosa (also Via Traiana) and run a huge hospital for pilgrims who left Barletta to travel to the Holy Land and Jerusalem.
