How do you Mr Carvalho?
It would be interesting to visit the dome where king Roderik or 
Rodrigo was buried. It struck me also when I heard the name Leon that 
I have heard it before. I wonder if you have heard about a picture-, 
memorial-stone, that was erected in the 500 c? With a similar picture 
as this in Martebo, and Sanda and Väskinde on Gotland etc.

Have you seen similar pictures with this whirl-disc shape in 
scriptures under Witiza?

Cheers!
