Greetings all,
Excellent news today, the site of a lost Byzantine city has been discovered at the Dakhla oasis in Egypt:
This
is a well preserved site and some interesting items have been found,
including gold coins dating to the reign of Emperor Constantius II and
over 200 ostraca, (writings on broken pottery) which give wonderful
insight into the daily life of the city.
It isn't every day a new Byzantine city is discovered - there should be cake! :)
