Tal día como hoy, en 653, fallecía el rey visigodo Chindasvinto. Hablé de él en este capítulo de la serie #ListaRazonadaDeLosReyesGodos :

Today, 14th September, the church celebrates the Feast of the Cross, commemorating, among other things, the legend of the discovery of the cross by Helena, mother of Constantine I. ⤵️: Paolo Veronese's "The Dream of Saint Helena", c. 1570. National Gallery.

Not only Africa. Also America and every other continent in the world. In Europe, for example, northern countries used to be shown bigger than they really are, compared to the south.

On this day, in 421, the emperor Constantius III died in Constantinople, after just a few months in office. Very little is known about his personal backgroound and family. In this article of mine, published some months ago, I suggest some hypotheses about his origins: journals.uco.es/astarte/arti...

I have browsed the two volumes of "A Companion to Rome (c. 400–c. 1050)", edited by C. Goodson and J. Hillner (Brill, 2026), and I can say it's quite impressive. Very useful to understand the city of Rome in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages.

I talk a bit about this in the @ancienthistory101.org podcast on "What is Late Antiquity" around 28:14, for those who'd like to hear more about this. But first things first: Christianity started mainly as an urban religion, facilitated by the Roman Empire. www.ancienthistory101.org/p/what-is-la...

I have no words to describe the experience of watching the total eclipse from my home in Valencia. Nothing compares to this.

Tadeus Calinca @tadeuscalinca.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

It seems that the city where I live will be 100% affected by the eclipse. I don't have the special glasses to watch it, so I think I'll just sit on the terrace reading a book, and then experience how the astronomic events interrupt my reading.

In my opinion, the best book opening ever, also the most difficult to interpret, and I think it was done on purpose. Gospel of John, 1:1. Any translation makes the original worse: Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν, καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος.

The Berlanga cup, linking Britannia (Hadrian Wall) and the Iberian peninsula. One more reason to go to Soria (I hope the train connection is reestablished one day). Here's the article: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

La red social Bluesky tuvo su momento para hacer el 'sorpasso' a X, pero eso no ocurrió. No hubo inversión, ni voluntad de mejorar el producto. Ahora parece que han despedido a la que era su CEO. No me extraña. Es un fracaso histórico, una oportunidad perdida para enviar a X a freír espárragos.

En el #DiaInternacionalDeLaDona convé recordar que la tasca d'investigar sobre les dones en la història és una necessitat. Jo porte anys dedicat a aquest camp d'estudi, i em queden encara idees i projectes que espere desenvolupar mentre tinga temps i energia. #8DeMarç

Em feia falta un nou diccionari de grec clàssic, i ja el tinc. A més, en la versió grec - català, de 2025. Com diu la frase de la coberta, tot flueix (πάντα ῥεῖ). A continuar traduint.

Stavelot Triptych (12th c.), probably commissioned by abbot Wibald, a very interesting historical figure. On the left, some mythified episodes of Constantine I's life; on the right, Helena's (fictional) discovery of the holy cross. Kept at the Morgan Library & Museum, NY.

I've just watched a very interesting documentary mini series by the BBC: "The Balkans: Europe's Forgotten Frontier". A good way to try to understand the complexity of the area's recent past and current developments.
