I tracked this down in Rome. It is very impressive.\nI have put a link in for you in the sources.\n\nWhat of the interesting facial features on this Moses? Some think that, in the beard, a silhouette of Michelangelo is visible. \n\nThe horns have elicited various interpretations. The likeliest explanation is that Michelangelo relied on Jerome's vulgate translation of the Old Testament. In this commonly available version, the "rays of light" that were seen around Moses' face after his meeting with God on Mt Sinai were expressed as horns. Some people believe that Jerome's intention was to express a metaphor for the glory of God reflected from Moses's face.\n.

It is a symbol of authority and power.  You have to trace it's evolution and destruction from the novel.  That entails... doing your own homework.\n\nGood Luck!\n\nSue

This is a fun question.\n\nLet's see, first, prudence.  Practical wisdom, ability to judge, discernment, choice.  The hinge virtue, isn't that what it's called?  What do these words call to mind?  Maybe a white cloth isn't the best -- prudence doesn't mean purity.  It means the ability to weigh competing goods, to distinguish in the moment between good and evil.  So some image signifying intelligence, wisdom... maybe an owl?  Or a wise man?\n\nFortitude.  Strength!  Courage!  How about a lion?  Or a sword? Or a tower?\n\nTemperance.  That means not giving in to foolish bravado, being careful, understanding one's limits, not indulging in the passions, moderation.  Any images come to mind?  In the tarot deck, an angel is the image used for the temperance card.  But here's something interesting: a quote on the cardinal virtues by St. Augustine:\n\n"For these four virtues (would that all felt their influence in their minds as they have their names in their mouths!), I should have no hesitation in defining them: that temperance is love giving itself entirely to that which is loved; fortitude is love readily bearing all things for the sake of the loved object; justice is love serving only the loved object, and therefore ruling rightly; prudence is love distinguishing with sagacity between what hinders it and what helps it."\n\nFor Augustine, temperance means full-hearted loving -- that is, it means not being distracted from what we truly love by the passions such as lust or gluttony.  Maybe the heart could be the symbol of temperance.\n\nFinally, justice.  I think you have a good symbol with the scales.  That's certainly the most common image.

My home dictionary gives the origin as coming from the Latin word "historia".   The dictionary goes on to say, "probably from pictures adorning the windows of medieval buildings."\n\nThis makes me think of old European churches and castles, where 30-foot cathedrals would have stained glass picture windows of history or Biblical reference that told the complete story in a single picture.  Perhaps one story would sit on top of another on top of another, giving you different levels of stories.  Of course, what I'm saying now is just guessing, but I would consider it a well-educated guess.

The fish outline is a logical symbol for the early Christian church to adopt. Fish are often mentioned in the gospels. This is what one would expect, if Jesus did most of his teaching in the Galilee. The synoptic gospels state this, although the Gospel of John denies it. Fish were a staple in the diet of Galilee. Some Christians believe that a second link between their religion and the fish symbol is seen in the Greek word for fish (ichthus, spelled: Iota Chi Theta Upsilon Sigma). That is an acrostic which has many translations in English. The most popular appears to be "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior" 16 [Iesous (Jesus) CHristos (Christ). See below.
