Runestone G 319

Runestone G 319 is runestone made from limestone located in Rute church in Gotland. The runestone is dated to years 1200-1250. It is the only runestone in Gotland that mentiones Finland. The word "Aglia" in the end of the inscription is problematic, but it has been interpreted to focus the place of death of Audvalds.
