There are a few more #SunoikisisDC sessions coming this semester (and then a whole new programme organised by @monica-berti.bsky.social and @sealygirl.bsky.social in the summer term). All live on Youtube with supporting materials, readings and exercises in the Github session page.

It's been a while, so high time for a long overdue update! So, last week this happened @unicologne.bsky.social , book is on the way, and, as my handle suggests, seals are still a very big part of my life! 🫶🏽

That’s a wrap! The #siegelsymposium has come to an end, and what an incredible days it has been! We had discussions about every aspect of Byzantine history and new insights that pushed the field forward. We had great food & company, and a unique excursion that made this symposium even more special.

As good digital humanists, we sometimes do extremely low-tech things! During our Byzantine sigillography seminar, one of our students is freehand drawing the missing parts of a seal. #byzantinebluesky #medievalbluesky #sigillography
