In Venice he will lose his proud glory,

and is led into evil by then younger Selin.

During the reunification of Italy, described in the interpretation of quatrain 4.77, Venice was joined in 1866. In the previous quatrain Nostradamus calls Victor Immanuel II as Selin the monarch of a united Italy. In this quatrain the prophet also calls him Selin. Venice became part of his kingdom. Prior to joining, Venice was under the rule of Austria, but was fighting it. In 1848 the Venetian Republic was created, which lasted a year.

Linkage with other quatrains: 4.77.

Decoding of the number 8.31. If 8 +1=9 and to consider 9 as 900, 900-31=869, flip 9 in 6, then get 866 – the year of joining Venice.
