Tillinge Runestone

The Tillinge Runestone inscription consists of a runic text within a serpent.

[1] Many runestones were reused for materials in the construction of roads, bridges, walls, and buildings before their historical significance was understood.

The inscription is dated as being from the first half of the 11th century and is in Old Norse and written using the younger futhark.

As such, this runestone may be a memorial to a Varangian who died while in service in Asia.

[2] The inscription is unsigned and has been attributed either to runemasters named Torbjörn or Gunnar.
