    Historian whose sparky, innovative #Byzantines challenged the stereotype of a stagnant society with nothing new to offer

    I have been using a bag from the 23rd International Congress of #ByzantineStudies in 2016 to carry my flute around for the last 9 years, after finding it in a charity shop brand new. May have been hers or from one of her coworkers.

  8. I'm wondering if anyone can help me identify some places named in an #Armenian text, the history of Ghevond.

    The text describes a raid by the Arab governor of Armenia (based at Duin) toward Pontus, passing Karin/Theodosioupolis/Erzerum and Kolonia (identified) as well as Govat'a, Kastiłon/Kastighon, and the district of Marit‘enēs (unidentified), listed in that order (perhaps a clue as to location?). I've tried playing with Pleiades but I'm not finding likely candidates.
