Greetings all,
Today we commemorate the crowning of Emperor
Basil II by his father Emperor Romanos II on April 22nd in 960 AD:
Although
he was only a 2 year old child at the time, it turned out well in the
end! Basil II went on to reign as sole emperor for almost 50 years. In
addition to his famous military exploits he was also known as a
competent administrator and it was under his reign the Varangian Guard
was formed.
There should be cake!
-Marcus Cassius Julianus
