Ερείπια Βυζαντινού Ναού Αγίου Αχιλλείου στο νησάκι της Μικρής Πρέσπας,Φλώρινα

Byzantine ruins of the tempe of Saint Achillios in Saint Achillios island, Small Prespa lake, Florina, Greece

Στο μαγευτικό τοπίο της Μικρής Πρέσπας, πάνω στο νησάκι του Αγίου Αχιλλείου, περιτριγυρισμένος από το ιδιαίτερο φυσικό περιβάλλον της λίμνης, δεσπόζει ερειπωμένος ο ομώνυμος ναός, το σπουδαιότερο από τα βυζαντινά μνημεία των Πρεσπών.

Οικοδομήθηκε στη δεκαετία του 980 από τον τσάρο των Βουλγάρων Σαμουήλ, για να στεγάσει το λείψανο του αγίου Αχιλλείου, επισκόπου Λαρίσης. Όταν κατέκτησε τη Λάρισα, ο Σαμουήλ μετέφερε στην Πρέσπα το λείψανο, προκειμένου να δώσει την απαραίτητη ιερότητα στην πρωτεύουσα του νέου του κράτους και μαζί μετέφερε Λαρισαίους τεχνίτες για να οικοδομήσουν τον ναό, που έγινε έδρα του βουλγαρικού πατριαρχείου.

The statue of a young and beardless Heracles was unearthed in Philippi, Macedonia, Greece. The statue dates to the 2nd Century AD and it was found within the ruins of a building dating to the 8th - 9th Century, where it was used as decoration. More and more findings are evidence which points at the use of ancient art and scupltures for the decoration of Byzantine houses and other buildings, further weakening the dated argument that the Byzantine Empire maintained a stance of hostility towards Classical Antiquity.

An Ornamental 1,400-Year-Old Decorative Clay Figure Found in Israel

Lavi family finds artifact on hike in central Israel; IAA says Byzantine-era item is a candle holder, finding is ‘typical,’ though not all candles had such ornaments.

A family found an ornamental 1,400-year-old clay figure on the ground while hiking through the hills south of the city of Modiin on Saturday.

Doron, the father of the Lavi family from the central town of Tzur Yitzhak, contacted the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) when they came upon the artifact during their travels, the IAA said in a statement on Tuesday.

The face was the decorative end of a candle holder dating from the 6th-7th Century in the Byzantine era, according to research by Dr. Itamar Taxel, the head of the ceramic specialties branch at the IAA.

Though not an especially rare find, it was a “fine” object, said Issy Kornfeld, the archaeologist who arrived to collect the artifact.

“The clay candles were used for lighting and were a typical find from these periods. But not every candle had a holder, and certainly not a designed one,” he said.

“The candle that the holder belonged to was used for the practical function of lighting, and also as an ornamental object,” he added.

Eli Eskosido, director of the IAA, thanked the Lavi family for carrying out an “act of good citizenship” and handing the artifact over to the state body.

He noted that strong rains brought on two weeks ago by powerful winter storm Barbara had likely cleared the earth, paving the way for the discovery of more artifacts.

“We call the public to be vigilant, and if you come across an ancient find, leave it in its place and call the IAA, which will come to the field,” he said, adding that artifacts provide important information for research.

I finally found the source of a quote that’s been bouncing around my head since January, describing the Byzantines as “idle liars of neither gender,” and I finally found the source—Liudprand of Cremona. I shoulda guessed.

#every time there’s some lurid turn of phrase insulting the Byzantines in their own era it was probably him #rome

"Christianity is a white man's religion."

A major theory that can be disproven in a few sources.

The Ethiopian Bible's existence and how it links back to Orthodox Christianity

The Martyrdom of Theodoros and the decline of ancient Greek culture- An archaeological discovery that attributes to the existence of a church during the Roman Empire's era, the existence of other deities that are not mentioned in history books when discussing the early Byzantine Empire, and symbolism attributing to Jesus distributing the Gospels in both parable and physical form

And speaking of 40K I've been doing a bit of work on my takes on Loyalist Iron Warriors:

One of the little details I work into it is that the Iron Warriors of M31 to the earliest years of the Imperium take names from Classical Greece, by the time of M35-41 they start using Byzantine names and thematic elements, down to relabeling the Trident the Themes, adopting surnames, and in a way not so much taking on aspects of the classical Rome-inspired Ultramarines as an excuse to write Iron Warriors with various aspects of the Byzantine Empire's culture and all that went with it.

The Byzantines are an aspect of Greek heritage and culture much more related to modern Greece than to that of Pericles, and it is a way to showcase how Basileus Perturabo of M41, master of the greatest Legion among the Astartes and his Themes-Tagmata-Turmae have evolved in a span of 10,000 years from their predecessors. Also since this is still 40K the loyalist Imperium has much of its canon counterpart's paranoid backbiting murderous traits and these stem from the Iron Warriors, as the mirror of the Imperial Fists, taking on the Ultramarines' canon role of the lion's share of Astartes and neatly telling Roboute in quasi-death and living to take his Codex and shove it and doing what they want.

I don't want loyalist Iron Warriors to be Imperial Fists with Hazard Stripes, and I want them to showcase that the Long War has changed them, much as Rome changed from the days of Actium when the future Byzantine provinces were the Greek-Syriac-Coptic territories and then when they became a state in their own right.

#warhammer 40k fic #loyalist iron warriors #some of them start using those names very early on #but it only catches on with the entire Legion by M41 #that's how you get 30K era Iron Warriors with names like Thucydides and Themistocles and Leonidas and their 40K counterparts well... #they end up with names like Basil and Konstantinos and Andronicus and surnames that are distinctly modeled on those of Byzantines

Kinda funny going into the Hidden City in Rise of the Tomb Raider and hearing straight up modern Greek.

Also props for not having them talk gibberish. They are hyping themselves up about their prophet and planning how to fight the helicopters...

Nice.

#rise of the tomb raider #i also like how it's not exactly anachronistic since the turn from ancient to modern greek seems to be around the byzantine era #from which the immortals are #it's just nice be able to understand what the enemies are saying

i actually think pride & prejudice & zombies would be a good concept if you cut out the mid 00's orientalism and really focused on the idea of a zombie non-apocalypse where society has changed to accommodate the threat but not actually collapsed

#everything is still attempting to function as napoleon-era england complete with the byzantine layers of social customs and manners #except also you have to fight hordes of the undead in hand-to-hand combat in a ballgown while not appearing too 'unladylike' #and that's why dawn of the dreadfuls was better than the 'original' #well. that and the way it didn't try to fit the characters/plot of p&p and instead was more of its own thing #the 'original' didn't actually understand the characters of p&p well enough to carry the story (i say as someone who doesn't even like p&p) #which is fine bc it's only meant to be a parody. but still it could've been a GOOD parody #if you saw this and decided to read them; by 'orientalism' i mean rich people have ninja guards & the bennet girls all practice #very 'kill bill vol 2' kung fu. it is shallow and gross and inaccurate and while theres worse things out there...do you really need this?

Amaru only became the leader of Trinity after decapitating one of their foot soldiers and causing a rebellion of his own in Paititi , and yet you want me to believe Trinity died with him ?

They saw him as an opportunity because he had power in the hidden city . Now that he is gone , they will just find someone else to fill his place … as they’ve done for centuries

Lara would have to be insanely naive to believe Trinity stopped being a threat after m i l l e n n i a because Dominguez died 💀

#we know they first sprang into being sometime during or immediately before the byzantine era #why would they just give up now ? 💀 #they’ll replace rourke and amaru and go on to be a pest for the foreseeable future #it’s an organization that is literally known for using and abusing anyone they can somehow influence to their cause #they won’t care who they lost just that they did #idk man i know lara lost custody of the braincell when she divorced sam but PLEASE

"Actually none of these words are in the Bible because this post was not written in LITURGICAL LATIN" [imagine I posted like nine different mosaics of Byzantine era popes with red glowing eyes and also an image of Roman pottery yaoi so people know i wasn't serious]

[weed-glow]

Constantinople wasn't initially meant to be the name of a city, but rather an insult.

Constantine? No pull

#byzantine and roman era insults are based

god i am sick of pro pals erasing the history of israel

there is literally the ruins of a building OLDER THAN ISLAM (byzantine era) on a hill near my house and archeological sites are SO GODDAMN NORMAL IN JERUSALEM that while it started out fenced off they eventually gave up on keeping kids out of it and instead CLEANED IT UP, PUT A DECK ON IT, AND ADDED A LIL MULCH PATH OVER TO IT

like theres an irl running gag that every time they start a new major construction project in jerusalem it ends up getting postponed or cancelled because they found possibly important archeological artefacts. there is so much fucking history here and its absolutely insane that people would choose to pretend that it doesnt exist
