"Herakleios, der schwitzende Kaiser" is available online for everyone to download; the printed version will follow soon (April 19). 🎉🎉🎉 And it might be worth pointing out that chapter 9 is an English summary.🙃 degruyter.com/document/doi/1…

"Empresses-in-Waiting: Female Power and Performance at the Late Roman Court" A mighty interesting volume ed. by @NViermann and @DrCRollinger There is a fine piece on Matasuntha by my good friend Marco Cristini You can browse in on google.books: books.google.pl/books/about/Em…

It's a great honour to have James Howard-Johnston review my book on Heraclius. beck-elibrary.de/10.17104/0017-…

@nonregemesse The last chapter is an English summary and I’ve published several related papers in English. But no English translation of the full book.

@NViermann Is there/will there be an English version of the same thing?

@KatinkaSewing uhhhh travelling relics (and columns) 🤩

From San Nicola in #Bari: the miraculous column that followed the relics of St. Nicholas from #Myra to Bari.

This is a service post for everyone who wants to visit #yedikule #goldengate in #İstanbul : it reopened recently and it's free to the public again. You don't have to register in advance, just go there and have fun!

@KatinkaSewing Omg the light

Good morning from the #HagiaSophia #Ayasofya

@MVipsaniusA @byzanzfreiburg @AGCAArchaeology @ArchaeoBonn @SPBSUK @OxfordByzantine Ja, hat sie, danke!

@NViermann @byzanzfreiburg @AGCAArchaeology @ArchaeoBonn @SPBSUK @OxfordByzantine Hat dich ihre E-mail schon erreicht?

Christine Strube, one of the most eminent Byz archeologists, has published a memoir-style, open access account of her work in Syria (ger/engl) - even more timely now that many of the sites she worked on suffered destruction. "Als Archäologin in Syrien" books.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/propylaeum/cat…

I highly recommend reading Christine Strube’s account of her life's work in Syria! Besides plenty of suspense (like her travelling through war-torn Beirut or spending the night in a Syrian prison!) it focuses on her studies in the Limestone Massif and the excavations at Andarin.

In addition to her important research in #Syria and #Constantinople, Christine Strube has also been a pioneer for women in #EarlyChristianArcheology and #ByzantineArtHistory. She was the first woman to receive a professorship and a member of @dai_weltweit Zentraldirektion. 🙏

@jessofarabia Then you have to continue with the second volume Either/Or, just as good!

I've just finished Elif Batuman's The Idiot (I know, very late to the party on this one) & I can't remember ever having laughed out loud while reading so much. So fucking good.

@sasanianshah ... it would be interesting to think about how Khosrow would have framed his attempt to conquer if it had gone against Maurice or Theodosius.

@sasanianshah Justin II lost Dara to the Persians which was seen as a massive catastrophe, but anyway...

So here’s a counterfactual re the events of 602: Revolt of the Balkan army escalating in the overthrow of Maurice and the coronation of Phocas. WHAT IF Maurice had managed to appease the soldiers by letting his son and co-Augustus Theodosius take over to avoid regime change?
