I highly recommend reading Christine Strube’s account of her life's work in Syria! Besides plenty of suspense (like her travelling through war-torn Beirut or spending the night in a Syrian prison!) it focuses on her studies in the Limestone Massif and the excavations at Andarin.
Christine Strube, one of the most eminent Byz archeologists, has published a memoir-style, open access account of her work in Syria (ger/engl) - even more timely now that many of the sites she worked on suffered destruction. "Als Archäologin in Syrien" https://t.co/D5f9zqyP6W

In addition to her important research in #Syria and #Constantinople, Christine Strube has also been a pioneer for women in #EarlyChristianArcheology and #ByzantineArtHistory. She was the first woman to receive a professorship and a member of @dai_weltweit Zentraldirektion. 🙏

> No usurpation by Heraclius because it was contingent upon the previous coup. > Theodosius III building a stable dynasty. > No draining Roman Persian war because no reason for Khusroes II to attack Maurice’s family. > How would that have affected the Arab expansion?

So here’s a counterfactual re the events of 602: Revolt of the Balkan army escalating in the overthrow of Maurice and the coronation of Phocas. WHAT IF Maurice had managed to appease the soldiers by letting his son and co-Augustus Theodosius take over to avoid regime change?

John Haldon reviewed my book on Heraclius, which in itself feels like a massive honour. His verdict "By the end of the volume the reader has plausible answers to several important yet hitherto unresolved questions" is more than I would have hoped for. https://t.co/VebSgtV6lE

His one-eyed adoptive brother, Fındık, would have deserved to be a cover star, too, but it was impossible to get him to sit still in the bookshelves.
