It's been a while, so high time for a long overdue update! So, last week this happened @unicologne.bsky.social , book is on the way, and, as my handle suggests, seals are still a very big part of my life! 🫶🏽
Very proud to share that in just a few days I’ll be heading to @dumbartonoaks.bsky.social for a summer fellowship! This is an incredible opportunity for anyone working in Byzantine studies (and for sigillographers in particular!).

That’s a wrap! The #siegelsymposium has come to an end, and what an incredible days it has been! We had discussions about every aspect of Byzantine history and new insights that pushed the field forward. We had great food & company, and a unique excursion that made this symposium even more special.
Tomorrow in Cologne! 👇🏽
Looking forward to welcoming you in Cologne in a couple of days' time! ⏳
