This is such a fitting title for a chapter on the Byzantine finds from the Üsküdar, Sirkeci, and Yenikapı sites, discovered during the Marmaray Project! From Brill's new Constantinople through the Ages.

Delivered my first undergraduate lecture at Cambridge today! Afterwards, a student told me it was so engaging they didn’t check their phone once—a compliment I’ll gladly take.

Today we went to see the Glenn Ligon exhibition at the Fitzwilliam. This is one of the benefits of living in a city for a long time, you get to see your familiar spaces transformed by different artists.
