| Réunion de L'etat Roman a L'Empire, France. Laskey said: 'On the 17th May, 1809, Napoleon issued a decree for uniting the papal states to the French Empire, from the first of June following, and abolished the Pope's temporal power, after having tyrannized over Europe for more than one thousand years. To perpetuate this epocha, the French government directed this medal to be struck.' |
