Byzantine Weapons and Warfare

They certainly are. I regard that trip to Constantinople and Kappadokia as one of the high points of my life. Unfortunately, the Buckle church was closed when I was there (renovations, I think), but it was the Dovecote Church I was really interested in.

In fact we went to Kappadokia specifically and only to see that church. But once there, I found so much else of interest. The town of Avanos, for example, which has been making pottery for so long that the roads in and out of the town are paved wih broken pottery. The underground cities and the honeycombed mountain of Uc,hisar. Amazing place.

I once played with drawing reconstructions of each of the figures in the church to compare and contrast the gear they had on.

But I never got around to it - it would have been too much work, and other things were more important at the time.
