One of , them is the republic of San Marino in Italy, on Mount Titano, the oldest state In Europe and one of the small est ia the world. The other is the re public of Andorra in the Pyrenees, made independent by Charlemagne. No fixed date can be assigned to either of these, both are mediaeval relics, and San Marino may be identified even before the middle ages began. Woes of the Druggist.
