Ancient Necklace with Mosaic Glass Beads, from the Eastern Mediterranean, c.100 BCE-100 CE: this necklace is composed of 30 glass beads, most of which are decorated with stylized faces

From the John Paul Getty Museum:

The beads are made of multi-colored opaque glass and are decorated with heads and floral designs. The necklace is in good condition; some beads are chipped or cracked.

The exact origin of this piece is unknown, but it can be traced back to the Eastern Mediterranean, where it was likely made by a Greek or Roman artist.

Each bead has a width of about 1.2cm (roughly half an inch); they're decorated with remarkably intricate details, and each face is depicted in its own unique style.

The Eastern Mediterranean around 1214

“Atlante storico Geo-Mondadori”, 2000

by cartesdhistoire

After the capture of Constantinople in 1204, the Byzantine Empire was divided between the victors. The "Partitio Romaniae" assigned to Emperor Baldwin, as direct possession, a quarter of the empire: the capital and the interior, plus the coasts of Anatolia and the large islands of the Aegean Sea. Marquis Boniface returns Thessalonica, Athens and Attica, Boeotia, Corinthia and Argolis. To the crusader barons, Thessaly, part of Macedonia, Thrace.

Maronite women in Kormakitis (Kormajitis), Cyprus.

"For centuries, this small community of Maronites have retained a distinct identity rooted in their Catholic faith.

Ancestors of Christians who settled in Cyprus after fleeing what is now Lebanon and Syria in waves from the 8th century onwards, many were forced to move again when Cyprus was divided almost half a century ago.

The hamlet, Kormakitis, is the largest of four communities dispersed after a Turkish invasion, triggered by a brief Athens-inspired coup, divided Cyprus in 1974 among its mainly Orthodox Greek Cypriots and its Sunni Muslim Turkish Cypriots.

Less than 200 of the hamlet’s 2,000 strong community remained after the split, although a Turkish Cypriot relaxation on crossings in 2003, and permission in 2010 for Maronites to resettle there, has now boosted the population to about 250.

Families from the other three villages form part of a small, displaced Maronite minority in the internationally recognized Republic of Cyprus.

Cypriot Maronite Arabic, also known as “Sanna,” is unique to Kormakitis and the forced separation of the community, along with assimilation and a focus by Cypriot authorities in the 1960s on teaching Maronites Greek, has eroded its use."

EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN REGION - Regional date and trends.

In 2022, the Eastern Mediterranean Region’s seven malariaendemic countries accounted for 3% of global malaria cases. Sudan carried the heaviest malaria burden in the Region, with 41% of cases, followed by Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan and Djibouti (Fig. 3.6c). Beginning in 2000, the Region saw a steep download trend in its malaria burden followed by a surge in cases and deaths in the period 2015 to 2022:

case incidence (cases per 1000 population at risk) fell from 20.2 in 2000 to 9.0 in 2015 and then increased to 15.2 in 2022 (Fig. 3.6a);

total malaria cases fell from 6.9 million in 2000 to 4 million in 2014 before increasing steadily, reaching 8.3 million in 2022;

mortality rate (deaths per 100 000 population at risk) fell from 4.0 in 2000 to 1.7 in 2015 and then increased to 2.9 in 2022 (Fig. 3.6b);

total malaria deaths fell from 13 600 in 2000 to 7500 in 2014 and then more than doubled, to 15 900, in 2022. Between 2021 and 2022, there was a sharp rise in malaria cases in the Region, from 6.2 million to 8.3 million. This was due, in large part, to an increase of 2.1 million cases in Pakistan following a malaria outbreak triggered by the catastrophic 2022 flooding. Significant increases were also seen in Afghanistan and the Sudan, with an additional 94 000 and 35 000 cases, respectively

Reliable data remains a challenge. Instabilities in Afghanistan, Somalia, the Sudan and Yemen have led to the closure of health facilities and to other disruptions; as a result, obtaining reliable malaria data in these countries has been a challenge, and current estimates should be interpreted with caution. In view of recent trends, the Eastern Mediterranean Region is off track towards meeting the 2025 GTS malaria case incidence and mortality milestones by 75% and 74%, respectively (Fig. 8.6):

In 2022, malaria case incidence increased by 55% or more in Djibouti, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Pakistan, the Sudan and Yemen, compared to a 2015 baseline. Meanwhile, case incidence in Somalia in 2022 was the same as in 2015.

Malaria deaths increased by an estimated 55% or more in Djibouti, Pakistan and the Sudan, and by 25–55% in Yemen. There was no estimated change in mortality in Somalia. Despite the overall regional trend, some countries achieved notable successes:

In 2022, Saudi Arabia reported zero indigenous malaria cases for the second consecutive year and zero indigenous malaria deaths since 2000.

Iraq, Morocco, Oman and the Syrian Arab Republic last reported indigenous malaria cases in 2008, 2004, 2007 and 2004, respectively.

In 2022, all countries in the Region reported zero malaria deaths, aside from Djibouti, Pakistan, the Sudan and Yemen.

Malaria mortality rates fell by an estimated 25–55% in Afghanistan in 2022 compared with 2015.

Etruscans

According to numerous studies and genetic research, the Etruscans are believed to have originated from the region of central Europe, specifically the modern-day area of Austria and Hungary. Recent DNA analysis has indicated that this ancient civilization was a distinct population with genetic links to both eastern Mediterranean and northern European populations. The Etruscans were likely…
