Swords in Dubrovnik

Additional pics, incl. old flag of Dubrovnik (Ragusa) with patron St. Blaise. Some flags also had LIBERTAS written on them. Last pic is the Arsenal where the ships were build. Allegedly Dubrovnik ships lasted twice as long which must have been a competitive advantage. In 1500s they had the 3rd largest merchant fleet after Spain and Netherlands. Salt production in nearby Ston accounted for 1/3 of city revenues. The city relied on a mercenary army.
