Quote:Any other interesting references (also Byzantine, of course)?Not a written source, but still valid evidence: remains of the destruction of the 365 quake can be seen in Sabratha, Lepcis Magna, and Apollonia (all in Libya), and in the port of Alexandria. Everywhere, there are sunken buildings.
Sabratha: look at the "broken building" of the seaward baths.
Apollonia: look at the map, the absence of land behind the theater, and the last photo.
Finally, the Circus of Lepcis Magna is now impossibly close to the sea. I have better photos of that, but can not put them online right now.
