Strange that the Bluebook doesn't give a lot of guidance on citing Latin calligraphy from 1468...

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 !

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

Robert Graves had a unique and idiosyncratic approach to historical fiction. Best-known for I, CLAUDIUS but COUNT BELISARIUS, set against the background of Justinian's attempt to reconquer the Roman Empire in the West, is very much worth reading.

#HistoricalFiction #RobertGraves #RomanHistory #belisarius #justinian #Historicalnovel #Historicalnovels

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.

Here's a wonderful review of Mischa Meier's lecture on the #plague of #Justinian last night at #jgumainz . We were stunned to have an audience of ca 300 with us on campus, plus 140 who followed the webcast. Thank you all for attending and making this so worth the while!
