Phenomenal Ravenna ! 😃
The small yet magnificent Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, a late Roman empress. Ironically, she’s never been buried in.

Phenomenal Ravenna ! 😃
This is the place of the first pixel war, since the mosaics have been created to celebrate the win of Justinian’s armies over Goths

Allegedly, #Prighozhin’s march on #Moscow has ended in a deal brokered by #Lukashenko, in which #Wagner Group forces will head to #Belarus and … become Lukashenko’s #Varangian Guard, or something? Assuming of course #Putin doesn’t wait for them to get strung out on the road and bomb them all to bits.
I can’t help but be struck by how antiquated all this feels. The Varangian Guard reference above is deliberate—the whole thing is #Byzantine in both the original and modern senses of that word. Shades of #Belisarius and #Justinian. Yes, I know I’m mixing up periods, and the analogy is inexact in all kinds of ways: history doesn’t repeat itself, but sometimes it rhymes.
#Kings and #emperors and shifting personal loyalties, not cold-blooded calculation of national interests. It’s not the way #modern states make #war—even though #Ukraine may well be the first modern war of the twenty-first century, through future eyes. Something older, more visceral, rising from ancient slumber.
Hell of a time to be alive. I suppose that’s always true.

I am a fan of #Viking history, and learned a couple of years ago that the #Varangian #Rus' presence was not limited to being the #VarangianGuard of the #Byzantine emperor.
Apart from that, in my understanding #Sveinald #Ingvarsson's (Sviatoslav I, aka #Sviatoslav the Brave, Grand Prince of #Kiev*) fascinating...
