Likely of the King of Mira, Tarkasnawa, a client of the Hittite Empire.
I took this photo in 2011, on my research trip to Turkey with the University of Exeter.

Again, Fry has written a wonderful book that makes the Ancient World, and the enagmatic Homer, accessible and enjoyable for all whilst still maintaining the sense of specialism.

In the midst of a friendly debate with a colleague.
Some GCSE exam-boards & textbooks have Ceorls and Peasants as separate classes in 11th century Anglo-Saxon society.
I understood 'Ceorl' as a catch-all term for the equivalent of peasants in Anglo-Saxon society, with varying degrees of freedom.

Very much enjoying my narrative histories at the moment.
Tore Skeie's 'The Wolf Age,' is a well paced narrative with a real focus on the historical figures.

Just finished re-reading James Romm's Ghost on the Throne. A really excellent book that covers the narrative following Alexander's death.
