Czołem! Today marks 454 years since the signing of the Union of Lublin. It replaced the personal union of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania with a real union. As a result, a state known as the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was born – with a common monarch, coat of arms, the Sejm, currency, foreign and defense policy, but separate treasury, offices, army and judiciary. Gloria Res Publica Utriusque Nationis!
