The Lombard Invasion

The Lombard invasion of Byzantine Italy was a pivotal event in Venetian history.

The invasion, and the conquests that followed, led to an increased importance of the lagoon settlements, to a slow demise of Byzantine control in north-east Italy, to the establishment of a semi-independent church in the lagoons, and ultimately to Venetian statehood.

The Lombard invasion, and the subsequent migration of parts of the mainland residents into the lagoons, became a central part of the later Venetian national narrative — the stories they told to explain where they came from and who they were.

What a list of Black Death survivors reveals about the way people recovered from plague.

Despite the deadliness of the disease, it was possible to recover from plague, and medieval chroniclers mention the possibility – however unlikely – of survival.

I saw a pertinent comment today.

‘Trump’s first presidency was charaterised by Plague. His second by War. Will his legacy be famine?’

"Historians will tell you the Black Death spread through fleas, through rats, through trade routes that carried more than goods between cities.

They will tell you it moved quickly, that it devastated populations, that entire households could fall within days.

They will not tell you how people knew it had already begun.

Not officially."

Then the illness had already taken hold." #blackplague #horror #rats #plague #sickness #epidemic #thebutcheredwriterssubstack

An interesting review of experience and resilience during the Black Death.

The Black Death killed approximately 100 million people (about half the world’s population) between 1347 and 1353. Subsequent outbreaks, which occurred every few years until the 18th century, took millions more lives.

I have made a translation of a Venetian letter from 1576, written during one of the worst plague epidemics ever to hit Venice, and I'm looking for proof-readers of the English text.

The letter is a first-hand eyewitness account of a very severe plague epidemic in Venice, written by a person in the middle of the storm. It describes how the plague arrived, how the state and the population reacted, and what was done to counter the epidemic.

"Back in my day, a plague meant the heavens were wroth with a wicked ruler"

Interesting #novelty #coin of the day: This piece has a #Plague doctor on one side - this was a volunteer or an actual doctor, though the duty was often more to record accurate numbers of deaths than curing people (though some charged promising cures). Although often a #caricature, beaked masks like this have been dated to the 1700s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plague_doctor Wearing a modern medical coat & stethoscope (invented in 1816).

The other side has a #clock at 8:55 (Does anyone know a potential reason for that?) with the dates 1347-1351 in the centre - that was the rough years of the #Black #Death in Europe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Death

I can't read the text above the centre?

The piece itself is an Equilateral curve heptagon (7-sided), about 25mm diameter, similar to a 1991-1994 Jamaica 25 cents: https://en.numista.com/6476 & about 3mm thick.

I'll tag #Histodons since the theme is historical, though the piece isn't.

Not seen it before. Wow… can’t be many 70 yo films that are that riveting and so fantastic looking. Lots of layers to the story, some that have repeated after the making + a bit eastery. Glad I didn’t watch it in the middle of covid times :ablobthinkingfast: . The #BlackAndWhite just glows and you cant take your eyes off #MaxVonSydow.

@ai6yr This article says to get the Measles vaccination. But, it omits "why" Dr Oz had a change of mind to start advocating for it, and contradicting his boss.

Given history, one can suspect that someone in his immediate family has/had measles with severe symptoms, which is the only reason these bastard billionaires will ever give a shit: It happened to one of theirs.

Fuck these guys, but get the vaccine, please.

Get #vaccinated and get your #family vaccinated or measure everyone for coffins (just kidding, you're going in the #plague pits that we could have just...not had to dig, but no, you believed this absolute crock of shit and here we are).

Went to the last instance of Gothic Maine's #Plague night this weekend (the proceeds of which went to the #Unhoused in #Maine). I first DJ'ed with them 20 years ago, and had some very cool nights I organized with them... Including #WickerMan and #NineteenEightyFour nights! The end of an era!

Episode 21 — The Plague Doctor

The plague doctor, long black cloak, pointy fingers, beaked mask with empty eyes. A giant black raven, the harbinger of a terrible death.

We all know that image. It is part of our culture and mythology. That was how medieval plague doctors looked, right?

Well, guess who didn't know about the beaked plague doctor? The plague doctors of the 1500s and 1600s didn't know about the beaked plague doctor.

Yet, they were him. Or were they?
