Palermo's Capella Palatina was constructed in the 12th c. under the Norman king Roger II. The architecture and mosaic decoration of the basilica are in the #Byzantine style, the earliest mosaics probably executed by artists brought to #Sicily from the Greek east.

Interior of church. Columns support arches down the aisle. Mosaics of saints and biblical scenes decorate the spaces.

Callinicus was the grand chamberlain of Justinian I, and was celebrated by Leontius Scholasticus in an epigram, which was originally attached to an icon of the eunuch. The epigram remarks on Callinicus' spiritual beauty as well as his physical beauty.

O day of wrath, that day
when the earth will be reduced to ashes,
as David and the Sibyl both testify!
What great fear there will be,
when the judge comes
to judge all things strictly.
A trumpet casts a wondrous sound […]

But Constantine's vision was also imperial. He abandoned the old capital and founded a new Rome on the Bosporus: Constantinople in 330 AD. #Constantinople #Byzantine

Four chainmail bracelets in the Byzantine weave. The rings are made from anodized aluminum, and in order from top-left to bottom-right, the bracelets are coloured as follows: a repeating pattern of blue, golden-yellow, and red; green and black, with green rings forming the “boxes” of the pattern, with the black as connecting rings; a repeating pattern of champagne, pale yellow, and golden rings, producing a mottled golden appearance; and mono-coloured in a steely-grey shade sold under the colour name “Black Ice”. They have several stainless steel rings at one end for length adjustment and strength at the closure, and a lobster clasp at the other. The top two bracelets are made with slightly smaller rings than the bottom two, resulting in a tighter looking weave. The bracelets are laid out straight on a neutral fabric background.

These bracelets are in the Byzantine weave, which is one of my favourites because it’s so simple yet so versatile! In this post I’m obviously playing with colours and patterns,…

I'm particularly pleased that I was able to demonstrate that the appendix to the #Mandaic Book of the Zodiac must have been composed after the mid-tenth-century, because it presumes the plausibility of #Byzantine attacks on Aleppo (Mandaic Glab < Arabic Halab). That makes it a #medieval source!
