Sound like a great trip! Any pictures of backs, especially of soldiers,that may show details ( fastenings etc) would be of great interest.

Quote:The frescoes date from the tenth and eleventh centuries. More from the same area (Church of St George).
I actually have hundreds of images. I spent three months travelling around what was the Eastern Empire. I started in Venice, then Ravenna, Florence (it was on the way), Rome, worked my way down to Brindisi, crossed to Corfu and traveled around Greece (Ioannina, Kastoria, Thessaloniki, Meteora, Mystras, Athens, among others), then Crete, Cyprus and Turkey (Cappadocia and Thrace, mainly). I was armed with a cheap camera and a strange interest in all things Byzantine.
