A small post to ensure you’re not left empty-handed today. If you have 17 minutes to spare amidst the festivities, this lecture from Ancient Rome Live on the Early Christian churches of Rome is a gift box of information about the evolution of Christian churches in Imperial Rome, complete with tours of the early churches that survive today.
Happy last day of Brumalia!
Happy Christmas from grey, damp and overcast England and thank you for all your hard work throughout the year.

In the 4th century AD, the Cypriot bishop Epiphanius of Salamis wrote that in Alexandria, at the same time as the festival of Epiphany (i.e. January 5th to 6th), the birth of Aion/ Aeon was celebrated in the sanctuary of Kore.
Merry Christmas. 3 Cheers. Thanks for the lecture.
