I'm in Ravenna now at the Notturni mosaic school. Some really lovely (mostly Byzantine) mosaics here.<br>
<br>
Jasper, I stopped in Brugg (Vindonissa) on the way down here and took a couple of photos of two illustrated (but fragmentary) tombstones.<br>
<br>
I am now earnestly looking for any tombstones I can find for Ravenna fleet veterans, but hmmm, there's only one illustrated one (and it isn't that good) in the National Museum here.<br>
<br>
Any ideas where the Ravennese keep their surely-numerous Roman naval gravestones?<br>
<br>
Do any of our Italian friends want to meet in Ravenna for an evening?<br>
<br>
I have no plans after Friday but thought I would probably head back north for more quality time hiking in the Alps! God, I thought I died and went to heaven when I ascended in the train from Lauterbrunnen and beheld the trio of Jungfrau, Moench, and the Eiger laid before me...<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
