The “Historia Langobardorum” by Paul the Deacon
The Historia Langobardorum — The History of the Lombards — by Paul the Deacon is the oldest chronicle relevant to the history of Venice. It probably dates to the 780s or 790s.
As the name implies, it is a chronicle of the Lombards — or Langobards — but as the Lombard invasion was a pivotal event in the history of early Venice, there are several chapters relevant to Venice.
The Historia Langobardorum was also an important source for many of the later Venetian chronicles and writings. It is, and it always was, an essential source for the study of early Venice.

A highly biased account of the Byzantine court of Emperor Justinian and his consort, Empress Theodora. A tale of two powerful men — the Emperor and his General, Belisarius — who are portrayed as spineless and under the thumb of their "nymphomaniac" wives. Filled with political vitriol and graphic scenes of torture from the start.

Perun
In Slavic mythology, Perun is the highest god of the pantheon & the god of the sky, thunder, lightning, storms, rain, law, war, fertility, & oak trees. His other attributes were fire, mountains, wind, iris (the flower), eagle, firmament, horses & carts, & weapons (hammer, axe (Axe of Perun), & arrow).
The supreme god in the Kievan Rus’ during the 9th-10th centuries, Perun was first associated with weapons made of stone & later with those of metal. The Kievan Ris’ (a.k.a. Kyivan Rus’) was the 1st East Slavic state & later an amalgam of principalities in Eastern Europe from the late 9th to the mid-13th century. It encompasses a variety of peoples, including East Slavic, Norse, & Finnic.
The Primary Chronicle relates that in the year 6415 (907 AD) Prince Oleg (Old Norse: Helgi) made a peace treaty with the Byzantine Empire & by taking his men to the shrines & swearing by their weapons & by their God Perun, & by Volos, the God of cattle, they confirmed the treaty.
In 980, when Prince Vladimir the Great came to the throne of Kiev, he erected statues of 5 pagan gods in front of his palace which he soon thereafter discarded after his Christianization in 988.
Perun was chief among them, represented with a silver head & a gold moustache. Vladimir’s uncle, Dobrynya, also had a shrine of Perun established in his city of Novgorod. After the Christianization of Kievan Rus’ this place became a monastery, which continued to bear the name of Perun.
Perun was worshipped by the Varangian (Scandinavian) warriors hired by Oleg & Igor during the campaigns against Byzantium. In the treaty of 971, the Varangians reenforce with the Slavic deity, Veles.
When the arrival of Christianity, the old gods fared poorly amongst the Slavs. Grand prince Vladimir the Great, who had once been a very vocal & lavish patron of Perun, converted to Christianity.
In 988, the prince & his family & people of the Kievan Rus’ were collectively baptized. He ordered that the statues of Perun which he himself had erected formerly, be dethroned, torn down with great dishonor & dragged through the streets as they were beaten with sticks. The idols were then cast into rivers & not permitted to land on the shore. 3 of Vladimir’s sons are also recognized as saints.
In neopaganism interpretation, the struggle of St. George with the serpent is understood as the struggle of Perun with Veles, who stole cows from him.
According to the book Dezionization by Valery Yemelyanov, 1 of the founders of the Russian neopaganism, in the ideas of the “Veneti” (“Aryans”), there was a “trinity of three triune trinites”: Prav-Yav-Nav, Svarog-Perun-Svetovid, Soul-Flesh-Power.
In some currents, Perun may be the supreme patron god. Since 1992, the 1st neopagan Kupchinsky Temple of Perun has been in St. Petersburg.

The eighth film recommendation for #31DaysOfHorror is a double-bill of The Company Of Wolves/Byzantium, both horror movie archetypes brought to life in interesting ways by director Neil Jordan. Jordan had done vampires before, in Interview With The Vampire, but Byzantium deserves more love from @horror fans.

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.

Africa & #Byzantium
#Art #history has long emphasized the glories of the Byzantine Empire (circa 330–1453), but less known are the profound #artistic contributions of North Africa, #Egypt, #Nubia, #Ethiopia, and other powerful African #kingdoms whose pivotal interactions with Byzantium had a lasting impact on the #Mediterranean world. Bringing together a range of masterworks—from #mosaic, #sculpture, #pottery, and #metalwork to #luxury objects, #paintings, and religious #manuscripts—this exhibition recounts #Africa’s central role in international networks of #trade and #cultural exchange. With artworks rarely or never before seen in public, Africa & Byzantium sheds new light on the staggering #artistic achievements of #medieval Africa. This long-overdue exhibition highlights how the continent contributed to the development of the #premodern world and offers a more complete #history of the vibrant #multiethnic societies of north and east Africa that shaped the artistic, #economic and cultural life of Byzantium and beyond.

One of my New Year's Resolutions is to draw more (whispers-- and to catch up on my commissions) and here are sketches of Byzantine emperor Justinian and his wife Theodora, based on the famous San Vitale mosaics and various contemporary busts out there #sketch #drawing #justinian #theodora #byzantium #empresstheodora #artistsonmastodon

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

Also, it seems Justinian loved to play some Zelda games, as there’s some triforce triangles on the ground. And it’s not the only one pattern that can be found !
