Part 3: re: New Speculation that L&N have been together since Toronto

Pattern of L’s and N’s circle of friends

“9) N and N friend group posts including JD – I will post this analysis separately of a pattern that I’m seeing. Pattern is the posts from her side coincided with posts on his side (as in they happen in a specific cluster of days). Almost as if N knows something from his side will be posted and she a) has to distract herself b) distract the fans so that whatever L posts don’t get that much of a backlash c) has to send a secret message to L that she’s doing fine and she’s still 💯 in”

I think part of her secret code to L is as long as she’s wearing her claddagh ring, she’s still in. Even if she bought the ring herself to celebrate S3 success, I doubt that she will wear it all the time if it gives her bittersweet memories – I think she wears it to hold on to loving memories from Ireland. I don’t know what L’s secret code is - I think it’s as long as he’s on lifeguard duty, he’s still in 😂

I’m sure there are loads that I missed. I kept the IG posts from N to Bridgerton unless it’s really newsworthy or quite anticipated by fans. These are just from the pap walk onwards. I also included some posts from outside sources because of speculations that they might be coming from their team to further the goal that they are working on. Which makes me think (and this is going to be an unpopular opinion) that N may have a hand on DM posts of her and JD (me: hides behind a door).

I might really be reaching here -- deep in my delulu seeing patterns when they don’t exist – but listed out like this almost seems like there is a back and forth between their groups and what gets out publicly.

Steve Silver stands inside his 5,000-square-foot loft in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. Silver, a painter, moved into the loft in 1979.

A Look Inside New York’s Historic Artist Lofts

The Last of Their Kind.

They used to be printing shops, garment factories and flophouses. Now they’re some of the coolest artist spaces you’ll ever see.

These unique, expansive lofts, rarely seen by the public, are all over New York City.

For decades, they’ve been occupied by painters, sculptors and other artists who moved in when manufacturers started leaving the city in the second half of the 20th century.

“When people think of New York City as a cultural epicenter, these are the artists that they’re envisioning,” said Joshua Charow, a photographer and filmmaker who has spent the past few years documenting the artists and their studios for his book “Loft Law: The Last of New York City’s Original Artist Lofts.”

Artist Claire Ferguson moved into her loft in the city’s Tribeca neighborhood in 1981. At the time, the building in Lower Manhattan had a mix of artists and industrial tenants. “The floor below me was a paintbrush factory,” she told photographer and filmmaker Joshua Charow. “The floor above me put lines on paper before they had offset printing, and they had these huge machines. They had a guillotine that cut through the reams of paper every morning. At 6 a.m., they would turn it on, and it was this noise, aargh!”

JG Thirlwell’s loft in Brooklyn’s Dumbo neighborhood doubles as his home recording studio. “Loft living is not for everyone,” he told Charow. “You’re responsible for everything in here, and not everyone wants a life like that.”

A cat rests inside the Tribeca loft of Ken and Flo Jacobs, experimental filmmakers who moved into the space in 1965. At the time, the monthly rent for the 2,000-square-foot loft was just $70.

For the first half of the 20th century, New York City was a major manufacturing center. Factories were all over, producing everything from ice cream to torpedoes.

But when companies started finding it profitable to move their operations to other parts of the country and the world, many buildings were abandoned. By the 1960s and ‘70s, industrial neighborhoods, including those we now know as SoHo and Tribeca in Lower Manhattan, were largely deserted.

Landlords were desperate to find tenants. A big problem, however, was that the buildings were not zoned for residential use. Many of them didn’t have kitchens or showers, or even electricity or heat.

“The only people that would rent the space were artists,” Charow said. “And that’s because (the buildings) had tall ceilings, so they could make big work. They had big windows to let in lots of light. The spaces were completely raw, in many circumstances.”

Anne Mason sits in front of one of her late husband’s paintings in the loft they lived in together in the Little Italy neighborhood of Lower Manhattan. Frank Mason died in 2009, but his wife preserved his studio and his paintings.

Plants thrive in the natural light of the Midtown loft Bob Petrucci and Ray Bailey call home. It’s on the 16th floor of a building previously used as a necktie factory.

Artists would move into the empty factories and warehouses and make them more livable spaces. It was technically illegal, of course, but everyone was benefiting and the once-abandoned neighborhoods started to thrive again.

By the end of the ’70s, however, loft living had become quite fashionable and some landlords were looking to cash in, pushing out the artists for a wealthier clientele.

The artists pushed back, and in 1982 state lawmakers enacted Article 7-C of the New York Multiple Dwelling Law, which is commonly known as the 1982 Loft Law. This legislation gave protection and rent stabilization to people who had been living in these spaces. It also required landlords to bring the units up to residential code.

When the law was enacted, Charow says in his book, there were tens of thousands of artists living in lofts across the city. Now just a few hundred remain.

Noah Jemison moved to his Williamsburg loft in 1980. He remembers his neighborhood not having as much traffic as it does now. “You could walk down the streets and see nobody,” he told Charow. “It was a place where you could hear yourself think. It was perfect for artists.”

A scan of a 1913 blueprint shows one of the Manhattan buildings Charow photographed. New York City was a major manufacturing center for the first half of the 20th century.

Painter Betsy Kaufman walks inside her Tribeca loft. She uses the front half as her studio. It still has its original wooden floors.

Legislation enacted in 1982 allowed loft residents in New York to establish legal residence and have their living spaces brought up to code. It also stabilized their rent and protected them from eviction.

Charow wanted to document these artists — and their extraordinary lofts — before their numbers dwindled even more. He found a map of the remaining protected buildings and went door to door to see whether their tenants would be willing to share their story with him.

He was often rejected at first. But over time, more doors started to open up as people he met would introduce him to others.

Over the past three years, Charow has photographed 75 artists — 30 of whom are in his book.

“My life has been greatly enriched by meeting some of these artists and learning about their lives and their stories,” Charow said. “It’s had a big impact on just my life, and I can’t imagine how much of an impact this group of people has had on the city as a whole.”

Art created by Carolyn Oberst and Jeff Way adorn the walls of the loft they share in Tribeca. They live on the top two floors of a building they started renting in 1975. “I won’t tell you what it cost, but it was very cheap. We’ll just leave it at that,” Way told Charow. “But that was an incentive to fix it up. It was sweat equity, they called it.”

Ellen Christine makes new hats and restores old ones. She’s one of the last milliners in New York City. “In the 1930s, you could walk down any street, and there would be at least 30 milliners,” she said. “It was just (that) everybody wore hats, you see… So they needed new ones all the time.”

Curtis Mitchell remembers when he first walked into his loft in the Dumbo neighborhood of Brooklyn. The building used to be an ice cream factory. “It looked just like a dream,” he said. “To me, it still is a dream. It’s a fantastic place. Cold as hell in the winter and hot as hell in the summer, but I don’t care.”

One of Charow’s favorite spaces was the Bowery loft of Carmen Cicero, who is now 97 years old but moves with the energy of someone much younger, Charow said. Cicero lives in the loft with his wife, the art historian Mary Abell. Filling the space are hundreds of Cicero’s paintings, some bigger than he is.

“When you dream of what a painter in their loft in New York would be like, it’s Carmen,” Charow said. “And he’s filled with incredible stories. He has such phenomenal stories of his time as an artist here.”

Cicero’s work can be found in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

He told Charow the story of how he got his big break: “I had a lot of friends who thought I was a really remarkable painter. One day, they said, ‘Carmen, you’re going to a gallery.’ And they had two guys grab my feet, and two guys grab my arms — they threw me in the car and said, ‘We’re going.’ We went to four or five galleries, and almost every one of them wanted my work — I was lucky.”

Carmen Cicero lives in the Bowery, which has one of the highest concentration of Loft Law-protected buildings in the city. The painter moved to New York in 1971, after his home studio in New Jersey went up in flames

Charow says it has been a thrill to meet these artists and listen to their stories.

“The spaces are beautiful and interesting and historic in their own ways. But without the artists, these spaces lose the significance and the interest to me,” he said. “The artists are the ones who are giving the spaces meaning. Their decades of life and working there is what makes these spaces sort of a sacred thing.”

Through June 29, Charow’s photos are being exhibited at Westwood Gallery NYC, alongside the art of many of the people he photographed.

“I’m really excited that people get to see the paintings and sculptures and and see where they’re made,” he said.

Filmmakers Ken and Flo Jacobs have lived in their top-floor Tribeca loft for more than 50 years. “Once, we staged a live shadow play with a stretched curtain in the loft. Our audience consisted of just two people: Yoko Ono and John Lennon,” Ken told Charow.

Sculptor Marsha Pels lives in what used to be a glass factory in Brooklyn’s Greenpoint neighborhood.

Even though the book is already published, Charow’s project will continue. After he began sharing his photos and videos, more artists started reaching out to him so that they could tell their story.

He now has a list of artists to photograph over the next few months.

“This isn’t just a thing of New York’s past. This is the present,” Charow said. “You can walk down the street and look at a window and you might see (an artist), and they’re still working and they’re still making their paintings and sculptures.

“I think it’s a beautiful part of our city, that this exists. It took a lot of resilience and ingenuity to stay in these spaces.”

Kimiko Fujimura, a painter, moved from Tokyo to New York City more than 50 years ago. She has lived in this Chinatown loft since 1979. It was the top floor of a former bow-and-ribbon factory.

The Lower Manhattan skyline is seen from a loft in Brooklyn.

Joshua Charow’s book, “Loft Law: The Last of New York City’s Original Artist Lofts,” is published by Damiani Books. The exhibition at Westwood Gallery NYCis taking place through July 13.

Lamezia Terme, Calabria, Italy

Lamezia Terme is located on the eastern border of the coastal plain commonly called Piana di Sant'Eufemia, which was created by drying a wide marshy area. It is the third largest city in Calabria by number of inhabitants and has a relatively recent history.

Established in 1968 from the fusion of three pre-existing towns: Nicastro, Sambiase, and Sant'Eufemia Lamezia, it is not only an important regional and national hub due to its strategic location in the centre of the region, but also a crucial business hub for the region's economy. These three towns have contributed to the city's diverse cultural heritage and historical significance.

Lamezia Terme is most famous for its international airport which is situated a few kilometres outside the town.

The Baths of Charon

Despite its modern origins, the name is much older: it derives from the first political community attested on this territory, the Lametìnoi, dating back to protohistoric times.

The Baths, on the other hand, refers to one of the main resources of the area, the Terme di Caronte, known since Roman times as Aque Angae. These four springs are located on the slopes of the Reventino mountain massif and, combined with the current of the Bagni river, give rise to different degrees of temperature: the highest reaches 39°C, hence the name Charon.

The secrets of ancient Terina

The first human settlements in what is now modern Lamezia Terme were discovered in 1865, when jewellery was found in the area of Sant'Eufemia Vetere, which was later sold to the British Museum in London, which still preserves it today.

This discovery, known as the Treasure of St Euphemia, was the first in a long series, which during the 20th century confirmed the ancient settlement of Terina. It was not until 1997, however, that it was decided to initiate a systematic search that identified a well-structured urban layout, of which we now know a living quarter built with parallel axes that define a regular urban grid. According to the most widely accepted hypothesis, this would be the extension of a pre-existing structure dating back to the 5th century BC.

Two rooms of the Lametino Archaeological Museum are dedicated to ancient Terina. Lametino Archaeological Museum housed in the Monumental Complex of San Domenico. Divided into three sections: Prehistoric, Classical and Medieval, will give you an insight into the history of this area, from the earliest times. There is, for instance, a hydria, which is a vase, dated between 380 and 370 BC, as well as everyday objects.

The ruins of the medieval castle

There is still much to discover in Lamezia Terme, especially in the historic city centre. On Hill of San Teodoro, stands the Norman castle of Nicastro about whose origins there is some dispute. Built on the hillside, a unique strategic position to control the surrounding plain all the way to the sea, according to some dates back to Byzantine era, according to others Svevo-Normana.

All that remains of the original structure are four towers, the ramparts, walls and a buttress with a small loggia; the earthquake of 1638 caused great damage to the structure, but at the same time contributed to the legends that populate it.

Re: tumblr.com/historicity-was-already-taken/737174801224007680

As a historian, you probably have a more nuanced understanding of this than I do, but I was under the impression that it's simply inaccurate to call Israelis—even far-right, authoritarian, genocidal Israelis—fascists? Fascism is a very specific ideology that arose in 20th c. Italy, with very specific principles regarding power, volition, mythologized tradition, and belief vs truth. (@cryptotheism, who researches cults among other topics, has some great posts about this.)

There are plenty of ideologically far-right, totalitarian, ethnonationalist, even genocidally racist movements that were nevertheless *not* fascism. (for example, see the genocides in Rwanda and Armenia.)

I think a case can be made for classifying Israel's actions in Gaza as genocidal, but calling it "fascist"—i.e. the specific ideology of the Nazis—seems closer in spirit to "swastikas superimposed over the Star of David," doesn't it?

No. Timothy Snyder defines fascism as “the ability to put a name to and define oneself in contrast to the Other,” and so do I.

There were right wing Zionist groups in 1930s Poland which happily adopted the label of “Jewish fascists” in keen understanding of their own historical context.

I would never do or say or imply anything similar to the horrifically anti-Semitic imagery you referenced in your final paragraph, and I, frankly, resent the implication.

I’m sure you sent this in good faith and out of genuine curiosity, but this is my answer, and it’s not something I’m interested in debating.

SCHNITZEL (1824)

I'm back in Germany after a lovely holiday trip, and am ready to again dive into some Tasting History dishes! What better way to reacquaint myself with the Germanic palette than to make a homemade Schnitzel from 1824. While the term Wienerschnitzel (translated literally to 'Viennese schnitzel' or 'veal cutlet from Vienna') was not mentioned in writing until 1893, schnitzels were made in Austria, Germany, Italy, France, and other places in Central Europe long before. The recipe Max and I use for our dish comes from Nützliches Buch für die Küche bey Zubereitung der Speisen (Useful Book for the Kitchen when Preparing Meals), first published in 1824 by August Erdmann Lehmann, who founded the first cooking school in Dresden. In this book, the recipe is for Kalbsschnitzel (Veal Schnitzel). While Max stayed true to the definition of Wienerschnitzel by making his with veal, I decided to make mine a chicken schnitzel since I couldn't find veal cutlets in time. This recipe is nevertheless interesting, because unlike modern recipes for Wienerschnitzel, the cutlets aren't dredged in flour first, and as a result, the breading doesn’t puff away from the meat. While the origins of schnitzel are murky, mostly because almost every cuisine has some form of breaded meat, the dish seems to be particularly beloved by the Austrians and Germans. In the early 20th century, the Austrian culinary scene decided to champion the Wienerschnitzel term to refer to a veal cutlet that is made into a schnitzel, and restaurants in Vienna began specializing in schnitzel. Food commentators of the time claimed that every Austrian restaurant should have a Wienerschnitzel on its menu. I'm not sure if the Germans were listening, but I can say from experience that every German restaurant I have been to since moving here seems to have a schnitzel on its menu, and often several! See Max’s video on how to make this dish here or see the ingredients and process at the end of this post, sourced from his website.

My experience making it:

I made a few changes to this recipe based on what I had access to, and I was itching to dive back into cooking after my long vacation, so I didn't spend too long searching for ingredients this time. As a result, I sourced two chicken cutlets in the absence of veal cutlets, which would make my dish just a schnitzel, not a Wienerschnitzel, according to the Austrian government. For the mix of fine herbs, I used parsley, sage, basil, and coriander. Thanks to living in Germany, I had access to a great selection of breadcrumbs made specifically for making schnitzel; I used what is called Paniermehl, which has that lovely, ultra-fine grain. Lastly, instead of clarified butter for frying, I just used sunflower oil, which is my main cooking oil.

For the preparation, I first made my mixture of fine herbs, zested the lemon, melted the butter, and gently beat the egg in a large bowl until smooth, then adding the former ingredients to the egg and mixing until uniform. I poured lots of Paniermehl breadcrumbs onto a plate, so it would be ready when needed. Next, I put the cutlets between layers of cling wrap and used a rolling pin to try and flatten them, since I don't have a meat tenderizer. It still worked fairly well, but I didn't quite get them to the thickness Max calls for. I poured a few centimetres of oil into a frying pan and brought the temperature up to 180 C (350 F). I rubbed some salt and pepper into each side of the cutlets, then proceeded, one at a time, to dip them in the egg wash, roll them completely in breadcrumbs, then submerge them in the oil. I cooked them for about a minute and a half on each side. They didn't seem to stick to the bottom at all, so I didn't need to move them around too much in the pan, which was good to prevent splatters of hot oil! They turned a lovely golden brown, just a bit darker on the edges. I was super impressed with how they came out! I placed them each on a makeshift cooling rack of a tinfoil coil with paper towel underneath to catch the oil. While they cooled, I finished up making the sides: broccoli, roasted potatoes, and peppercorn mushroom gravy, which would go on the broccoli and help make my version of a Jägerschnitzel (a mushroom gravy sauce on schnitzel), my usual order at a German restaurant. The original recipe calls for a spicy sauce, and this is my interpretation of it, despite Max's idea that it could be Zigeuner sauce. I plated the schnitzels with a sprig of parsley and a lemon wedge on top along with their sides. I felt so proud of this dish, because it really did look like the schnitzels I have ordered in restaurants here, other than this one being half the size!

My experience tasting it:

I first tried a bite of the schnitzel on its own. Even just cutting it, the crisp was absolutely perfect. Like Max mentioned, the breading remained adhered to the meat, which, while not how a modern schnitzel should be, I actually prefer. The chicken itself sadly had a light tinge of pink (my husband and I went all in anyways, which I do not recommend generally, but we have had no symptoms yet!), meaning it had not cooked all the way through, but the texture was very much of fully-cooked chicken. For my next several bites, I added a bit of lemon from my wedge garnish - this is what really made the schnitzel shine! It was delicious. For my last few bites, I added the gravy, and it tasted just like the schnitzels I had ordered in restaurants here. I was flabbergasted I could make this dish at home and have it taste so much like a meal at a nice German restaurant! I will definitely make this recipe again, and my mom and dad have already requested that I make it next time I visit them. However, because of the amount of oil it uses, I will probably only make it once in a while as a special treat. Still, I highly recommend making this one! If you end up making this dish, if you liked it, or if you changed anything from the original recipe, do let me know!

Wienerschnitzel original recipe (1824)

Sourced from Nützliches Buch für die Küche bey Zubereitung der Speisen by August Erdmann Lehmann (1824).

Veal Schnitzel Thin slices are cut from coarse raw meat, pounded well and seasoned with salt, sprinkle pepper, then add 1 teaspoon of fine herbs and parsley, lemon zest and warm butter, mix in 1 egg, turn the Schnitzel in it, breaded with breadcrumbs, fry in hot butter on both sides for 2 minutes in a pan, basted with lemon juice and served with a spicy sauce.

And to describe the proper garnish, from Alte Österreichische Küche (1900):

You put a lemon wedge with every schnitzel and some green parsley on the dish.

Modern Recipe

Based on the recipe from Nützliches Buch für die Küche bey Zubereitung der Speisen by August Erdmann Lehmann (1824) and Max Miller’s version in his Tasting History video.

Ingredients:

2 to 3 veal cutlets

Salt

Pepper

1 egg

1 tsp minced herbs (whatever you like) and parsley

1/2 tsp lemon zest

1 tbsp melted butter

Plenty of fine breadcrumbs

Clarified butter or other oil, for frying

Lemon wedges, for garnish

Parsley, for garnish

Method:

Place the cutlets between two layers of parchment or plastic wrap. Use a mallet or meat tenderizer to pound them out until they are a little bit thinner than your pinky. Sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper on both sides and rub it in.

In a wide bowl, gently beat the egg just until it’s smooth. Mix in the herbs, lemon zest, and melted butter.

Dip the cutlets into the egg and shake off any excess. Dredge them in the breadcrumbs, pressing the breadcrumbs in to make them adhere.

In a large pan, heat the clarified butter to about 350°F (180°C). You want enough fat so that the cutlets can float a bit, but you don’t need enough to deep fry.

Working in batches so as not to crowd the pan (I did one at a time), fry the cutlets for 1 to 2 minutes, making sure they don't stick to the pan. You can gently rock the pan back and forth to make sure that the schnitzel stays floating in the fat. When the cutlet is golden brown, flip it over and cook for another couple of minutes, or until it’s golden brown all over.

Take the schnitzel out of the pan and set it aside to drain on a wire rack or on some paper towels. Fry up the rest of the cutlets.

Plate the Wienerschnitzel with some lemon wedges and a sprig of parsley, and serve it forth.

16 years ago… different time.

I had posted this on my first blog (blogspot) of our first time living in China. Since then we have lived in Norway, China again, Singapore and France (with the kiddos also living in Switzerland, Italy and Spain for C and the Netherlands for J).

At the end of the post I wrote this quote: A reporter once asked former-Communist Premier of China Zhou Enlai what he thought was the impact of the 1789 French Revolution, to which he replied: "It is too soon to tell."

It takes a lot of efforts to move things forward but no time to set them back. The impact of this new era will have repercussions for decades.

A little US inauguration history;

Inauguration is always on January 20th, unless it’s a Sunday then it’s on the 21st —it happened 3 times, for Obama second inauguration in 2013, Reagan second inauguration in 1985 and Eisenhower second inauguration in 1957. Next time will be in 2041!

As non American we think that the time between election and inauguration is really long (I don’t think any other country has such a long transitional period) but I just learned that less than 100 years ago it was even longer. Indeed the inauguration date got changed after Roosevelt second term when it was moved from March 4th to January 20th (Twentieth Amendment of the U.S. constitution). The initial inauguration date was on the anniversary of the Constitution first taking effect in 1789.

This year it also falls on Martin Luther Kings Day (3rd Monday of January). The next time it will happen (inauguration and MLK day will be in 2053!). Oh the irony. There is also the fact that it falls in the middle of former president Jimmy Carter’s 30-Day mourning period when US flags fly at half mass.

And that’s all for your USA history 😉

High Tide in Saint-Malo

Artist: Ethel Carrick (England, Australia, 1872-1952)

Date: c. 1911-1912

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia

Description

Ethel Carrick painted vivacious impressionist-influenced European landscapes, market scenes and flower pieces. After studying in London early in the 20th century, Carrick settled in Paris in 1905 where she became actively involved with women’s painting societies. She travelled extensively with her artist-husband, E Phillips Fox, in France, Italy, Northern Africa and Spain.

Her depiction of Saint-Malo conveys a moment seized with delightful briskness. Carrick painted it during a trip along the coast of Brittany with Phillips Fox. In it, she portrays a lively orchestration of visitors to the charming fortified town as they file between rows of change booths, the small beach shrunken by the encroaching tide. She embraces the colourful array of hats, jackets, dresses and umbrellas worn by the promenading figures shimmering in the sun, immortalising pleasures soon to recede with the advent of war.

After Fox’s death in 1915, Carrick lived mostly abroad, travelling further in Europe, and painting in Majorca, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia and India, before living for a time in Kashmir in the 1930s.

Legions of Pannonia

Located west of the Danube, Pannonia was essential for the protection of the Roman Empire's eastern frontier. It had been occupied since 9 BCE but did not willingly accept Roman authority. Pannonia and Dalmatia revolted in 6 CE, and it would take three years and a total of eleven legions to finally bring Roman victory in 9 CE. To ensure peace, four legions were assigned to Pannonia: X Gemina, XIV Gemina, I Adiutrix, and II Adiutrix.

The Pannonian Revolt

After years of conflict with Rome, Pannonia had finally fallen under Roman control in 9 BCE. The uneasy peace that followed would not last long. After the Roman commander and future emperor Tiberius (r. 14-37 CE) withdrew legions from Pannonia and Dalmatia for his Germanic campaign in 5 CE, the two provinces seized the opportunity to rise up and revolt. The Pannonian rebel army struck first, marching into Macedonia. Meanwhile, Dalmatian rebels began to raid neighboring towns, attacking Roman auxiliaries and massacring Roman citizens. With this initial success, more and more Dalmatians joined in the cause. Eventually, the rebels would number over 200,000 – one-fourth of their combined population. Although surrounded by the rebellious army, the governor of Dalmatia, Marcus Messalinus, and cohorts of the 20th legion were able to rout the rebels. After the Pannonians laid siege to Sirmium (in modern Serbia), the governor of Moesia, Caecina Severus, and his legions marched westward to meet the Pannonian commander and his army and defeated him.

With the Dalmatian attack on Salonae (in modern Croatia) and much of the Adriatic coast in rebel control, panic across Italy forced the Roman emperor Augustus (r. 27 BCE - 14 CE) to recall Tiberius. With Legio VIII Augusta, Legio XI Hispana, Legio XIV Gemina Martia Victrix, Legio XV Apollinaris, and cohorts of the Legio XX, he marched into the rebelling provinces. In addition to Tiberius, Augustus sent the young Germanicus (15 BCE - 19 CE) to the Balkans with a force of evocati and non-citizen troops. Meanwhile, Aulus Caecina Severus and Plautius Silvanus arrived from the East with five legions. In total, the Roman army numbered 10 legions, 70 cohorts of auxiliary, 14 cavalry wings, and 10,000 evocati.

The Pannonians abandoned their plan to march on Rome, and the Dalmatian commander grew suspicious of his counterpart's loyalty to the cause. The Pannonian leader was captured, put on trial, found guilty, and executed. After this, the Roman army laid siege to several Dalmatian towns. Casualties were high on both sides, and it took one-third of the Roman army to finally suppress the uprising. Before the Dalmatian commander was led off to live the remainder of his life in house arrest, he had one final comment, blaming Rome for the war: "We are your flocks, yet you didn’t send shepherds to look after us, you sent wolves." (quoted in Dando-Collins, 234) Writing years later, the historian Suetonius (c. 69 - c. 130/140 CE) wrote in his biography of Tiberius about the seriousness of the rebellion. He said the revolt "proved to be the most bitterly fought of all foreign wars since Rome had defeated Carthage" (Twelve Caesars, 114).

In his The Complete Roman Legions, historian Nigel Pollard places four legions permanently in Pannonia:

Legio X Gemina

Legio XIV Gemina

Legio I Adiutrix

Legio II Adiutrix

The Battle of Bánhida by Feszty Árpád 19th-20th C. CE

"Whatever may have happened in 901, Hungarians definitely returned to Italy in 904 as allies and auxiliaries of Berengar. Earlier in this year, Louis of Provence had entered Lombardy once again, had taken Pavia, and was in the process of occupying Verona when swarms of Hungarians attacked the territory under his control. As those forces wasted the upper Po, Berengar retook Verona and captured his rival, whom he blinded. The hapless Louis was then allowed to return with his men to Provence. Even in this miserable state, we are told, his forces were harassed by Magyars until he disappeared on the other side of the Alps never to return to the peninsula again. As for Louis's supporters in Lombard cities, many of which were unfortified and, therefore, extremely vulnerable to steppe nomads, Berengar allowed his Hungarian allies to loot them without mercy.

According to Magyar traditions, it was in 904 or 905 when Arpad, who was now emerging as the sole leader of the Hungarian confederation, arranged for his son Zolta to marry a Moravian princess. If this was indeed the case, then it was at this time that the 'old' Moravian regnum, the megale Moravia of Constantine Porphyrogenitus, came under Hungarian rule. For some time there had been certain elements among the Moravians who wanted to throw their lot with the Magyars rather than with the Bavarians. Evidence of this is found in a letter that Theotmar of Salzburg (Dietmar I, also Theotmar I, was archbishop of Salzburg from 874 to 907. He died fighting against the Hungarians at Brezalauspurc on July 4, 907.) and the other Bavarian bishops sent to Rome around 900. This epistle complains that Moravians were relapsing into heathen practices, shaving their heads in the Hungarian fashion, and conspiring with the Pagans, 'so that in all of Pannonia, our largest province, almost no church is to be seen.'"

-Charles R. Bowlus. Franks, Moravians, and Magyars: The struggle for the Middle Danube

...

I couldn't find more details about what this "Hungarian fashion" haircut was since I couldn't find a full account of Theotmar's letter. However, Mark of Kalt in the 14th century gives more possible details in his description of the Vata Pagan Uprising:

"...Vata was the name of who first offered himself to the devil, shaved off his head, and left three pigtails according to the Pagan custom..."

Dev diaries - Symbolism of Laughing Death/Danse macabre in 'Heroes Of Oblivion'

(This is a part of game dev diaries about the development of my sci-fi/supernatural visual novel 'Heroes of Oblivion' which is out now on itch.io. Some mild spoilers below.)

'Heroes Of Oblivion' features death symbolism in many forms.

And for a good reason. Since this game is based on the most vague, indistinct, most universally European medieval mythology, there is nothing truly more 'European' than death symbolism. I have seen it in baroque Spanish paintings. 20th century German politicial cartoons. 19th century English illustrations.

The same symbolism permeates both catholic and protestant culture, making it truly universal and making one think - what is Europe? Isn't it a commonality based on the Plague (the times when Death symbolism, while more ancient than it, became so ever-present?).

Symbolism of Death is also rooted in Christianity overall, of course - the cross itself is a morbid symbol of torture, after all, and all Biblical figures remind people of their purpose. However, ancient Biblical imagery still didn't feature death.

It is something different.

In the end, it can be something more related to Samhain/Halloween - a celtic holiday of honoring the dead/ancestors which was repurposed by Christians as 'All Saints day'.

This theory does hold some weight since celtic tribes lived almost everywhere in Europe - in Spain, in Germany, in France, in Italy, in England, obviously, and, interestingly, death symbolism is less present in the places where celtic influence was less prominent (Scandinavia, for example. Their culture was often more morbid on the whole, so, I guess, the bitter irony, contrast between joy and sorrow, life and death was lost on them in those dark, wintery landscapes. Or they just weren't celtic enough to understand. Who knows.)

Below, I will feature all the motifs in the game that I could find.

First of all, there's 'Danse Macabre'.

Since the late Medieval times, the image of dancing skeletons, pulling people of various, often 'prestigious' social positions (priests, kings, wealthy merchants, generals, etc) into their dance symbolized the great equalizer of death.

In this kind of dance, Death leads all of these rich people to the same truth of their lives. Parallels with the story of 'Heroes' are easily seen here.

Second is a motif of a skull as a meditation piece that reminds one of their purpose and fleeting nature of life. It often features a skull as a decoration on the desk or a wistful, melancholic Skeleton (with a hourglass) and is called 'Vanitas' motive. This motive, I guess, is special and specific to Oblivion/Alex himself. Notice the books/writing utensils on the first painting - I think those who played the game can easily guess how they relate to Alex's fate.

I also think that both 'Vanitas' and 'Danse Macabre' type skeletons feature heavily in Doloris decorative statues.

(Pictured above: Vanitas by Pieter Claesz (c.1630) and Vanitas by Hans Holbein)

I must also say that there is also accidental symbolism, which I like. 'Memento mori', a popular phrase related to 'Vanitas' motive, means 'Remember death'. Believe it or not, Oblivion's name wasn't related to it. This contrast of remembering and forgetting, of course, takes the irony to another level. I guess Medieval/Latin/Greek symbolism is so intertwined you can get something right even accidentally. (However I did intentionally contrast Hypnos and Thanatos but it's curious how even in 'Memento mori' unintentionally Oblivion and Mort meet once again. It was truly meant to be.)

The third motive, albeit not heavily featured (or featured everywhere, actually) is 'Et in Arcadia Ego', 'I am in Arcadia too', meaning that Death is present even in a Paradise, even in a Utopia.

(Guercino - "Et in Arcadia ego")

But what about the 'Laughing Death'? The Dead Jester?

Of course, I have seen him before. But I wanted to check how prominent of a symbol it was. The results exceeded my boldest expectations.

(Felicien Victor Joseph Rops, c. 1850)

A natural extension of 'Danse Macabre', Dead Jester takes it one step further. A laughing Death, Death who mocks the chaos of life.

It is, strangely, also a popular motif, in both Medieval times and relative modernity.

(Death as a Jester, Charles Bennett, 1860. Creepy English Dead Jester.)

(La Mort au Bouffon; Reponse du Bouffon, 1830. Philosophizing French Dead Jester.)

(Hans Holbein, The Dance of Death, the Queen. 1526-7. Angrily preaching German Dead Jester. Truly, there is no escape from Mort/Novak in any European land.)

And another one, just because I like the pathos of the entrance:

(Dead Jester on the page of the book on London. Can it be that all cities are Doloris? There is no end to the folly!)

I hope you liked this episode of the dev diaries and it made you interested in playing the game that features all this symbolism.

A big 'Thank you' goes to this blog for http://hauntedohiobooks.com/grim-and-grewsome/12391/ for featuring all these Jesters that made my head spin and my skin have goosebumps.

Star Names

I have, once again, gotten into Harry Potter fanfiction. To be specific, Rigel Black chronicles recursive fanfiction.

So I'm making my way through wikipedia, going through the constellations and star names, making notes on the ones that are most Given Name-like, ignoring the ones that are after 1980 (quite a few), and noting the ones that might still be too modern/muggle for the Ancient and Most Noble House of Black.

Then I bought a book called Star Names, their Lore and meaning by Richard Hinckley Allen* and went through that. Given how confusing the book is to me, and how it includes poetical names as well as designations, I've marked the beginning of his contributions with *, the end with (RHA).

After all that work, I may as well share it.

Organised by Constellation, the genitive, and sometimes the constellation's abbreviation. Then the names of stars, which I haven't sorted at all. I used the Caelum constellation as a cutoff, which was something like 1756, which cut out suprisingly little compared to the post 1990 cutoff. The IAU has been Busy the last few decades, so many wonderful star names...
