Egal wie man es dreht und wendet - eine klassische Karriere in der Wissenschaft (d.h. Drittmittel, Professur) und eine familiäre Verpflichtungen, die über eine:n gesunde:n Partner:in hinausgehen, sind sehr schwer zu vereinen #ichbinhanna

Irgendwelche Pläne für morgen?

Indiana Jones and reviewer 2

It was always a funny competition with my colleagues at the start of term : who got the leaflets ? (I never got one obviously)

Here a cat wondering too if it’s a good idea

And now I miss Belgium…

Sie sieht genauso aus wie meine!

C’est fascinant ! Il y a des textes antiques assez similaires.

Everything I've ever published was written against a steady backdrop of care work with intermittent bouts of sheer personal terror — made extra terrific by being on a fixed-term, contingent appointment.

All this to say, academics are not robots. Be kind when evaluating (junior) colleagues.

You have to buy and read exclusively books from the U.S. I guess?

Chronographia XVIII 46 (p. 378-9)
The story is remarkably well structured with an announce of the event, a flash back, the encounter with Justinian and the subsequent mission. Only the encounter with Justinian is dated in the year 529. The following battle against the Huns occurred probably later.

2. In 529 AD, the Gepid prince Moundos went over to the Romans, in Constantinople. The Chronographia gives his backstory: how he went to his uncle in Sirmium after his father's death and then to Theoderich. Justinian received him and his men and sent him in Thrace, where he destroyed the Huns.

Chronographia, XVIII 23 (p. 367 Thurn)
The story certainly circulated with the intent to present a positive image of Justinian. Although it is probably anachronistic to call it propaganda, it certainly reflect the imperial ideology, just like the historical introductions accompanying certain Novels.

1. Eulalios, a comes domesticorum, ruined after a fire, made Justinian his rightful heir with a mandate to pay 15 folles every day to each of his three daughters and to provide them with a dowry . Against the advice of his curator, the emperor accepted and granted the girls an even larger dowry.
