audience with the queen | Rhaenys the Conqueror
Rhaenys' attire draws inspiration from a Byzantine costume attributed to Empress Theodora. She wears a patterned stola (historically worn over an embroidered camisia), topped by a jeweled collar and belt. Completing the look is a sheer palla veiling her. Her dragon-crown takes inspiration from 7th-century Byzantine headdress, adding a regal touch to her ensemble.

From Palestine in Pictures : A Byzantine-era mosaic floor that was uncovered recently by a farmer in Bureij, central Gaza Strip, is seen on 18 September. The farmer said he stumbled on it while planting an olive tree last spring and quietly excavated it over several months with his son. Experts say the discovery of the mosaic is one of Gaza’s greatest archaeological treasures, which are threatened by a lack of resources and the constant threat of Israeli violence.

For dinner tonight, I made some Byzantine Honey and Pepper fritters based on a recipe from Apicus de re Coquinaria. They are sweet and puffy with a gooey center! I hope that if you were a Medieval Mediterranean Merchant, you'd buy some from my street food stall in Constantinople.
(I found out about it and used the English recipe from this video
)

This lavishly decorated piece is a Byzantine bracelet dating from the 6th century. The Byzantines created complex and precious pieces, such as this bracelet, which is encrusted with expensive gemstones and pearls, demonstrating the wealth of the Byzantine empire.
The openwork technique, also called Opus interrasile (meaning ‘to scrape in between), is done by punching or piercing holes in the metal with a chisel or other sharp tool, resembling delicate, lace-like patterns.
