Byzantine Ceramic ‘Greek Fire’ Hand Grenade Ca. 900-1200 AD

A hefty, mold-formed pottery hand grenade with a piriform body, a rounded shoulder, and a narrow mouth. The exterior body is decorated with seven panels of closely spaced stamped circles. Grenades like this were meant to hold the famed and highly combustible substance known as “Greek fire,” though its exact composition is unknown; scholars posit that the mixture was composed of pine resin, naphtha, quicklime, and sulphur.

L:125mm / W:80mm ; 550g.

A scene that I had commissioned from PentaCreate Studios for one of next month's episodes. As far as I know this is the only rendition of a byzantine estate home outside of archaeological photos and layout diagrams.

I think that's pretty cool

“…As well as considerable numbers of women among the poor pilgrims following the crusaders, there were always some working women following medieval armies, some doing laundry and kitchen work or nursing the wounded and others providing sexual services. When fighting broke out, women contributed by carrying drinking water and comforting the wounded. A number of aristocratic ladies in addition to Eleanor followed their crusader husbands, and they brought along servant girls and ladies in waiting, swelling the total number of women. 

Eleanor’s own personal entourage must have been quite large but the legend that she recruited a band of armed and mounted “Amazons” to ride with her alongside the crusading knights can be set aside. This improbable story apparently originated with a Greek chronicler’s description of the crusaders’ entry into Constantinople, written at least a generation after the event. The legend was taken up enthusiastically by nineteenth-century writers and is repeated in widely read twentieth-century books on Eleanor.

The Pliska Rosette

In 1961, during archeological excavation made in the region of the first Bulgarian capital, Pliska, a precisely-made medallion, now known as the Pliska Rosette, was discovered.

Its origin can be traced back to VII-IX centuries and it was most probably used for the purpose of astronomical estimations.

According to the researchers, the seven ends of the rosette represent the seven planets know in the antiquity - Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn.

The lungi is a traditional garment worn in many southern states of India. It's different from the dhoti, in that it is a tubular shape (like

It’s only men in the photos but really anyone can wear them. I am wearing a lungi right now.

I also know Thailand and Sri Lanka have their versions of a lungi as well.

my butch lesbian professor who is well into her sixties had told me that this was her first real exposure to the concept that a woman could not only be attracted to other women, but be butch while doing it. she said this movie propelled her into her sexuality with a sense of pride and remains a cornerstone of her coming-out journey. in short, representation matters and always has.
