Greetings all,

In the news, the discovery of a Byzantine era abbey in Ordu, Turkey which is located on the coast of the Black Sea:


There seems to be very little Byzantine information on Ordu, even though it was part of the Empire for centuries. Wikipedia skips over the Byzantine period completely in its historical summary of the town, and I could find little other information elsewhere. Hopefully the discovery of this abbey will bring more attention to this part of the Empire.
