The lives of Galla Placidia and her daughter, #Justa_Grata Honoria, are deeply intertwined with the “barbarian” kings of their time, reflecting the turbulent dynamics of the Late Roman Empire as it struggled with internal instability and external pressures.
#Galla_Placidia was the daughter of #Theodosius I and his second wife, Galla, and one of the most influential figures in late Roman politics. Born in circa 391-394, she became a pawn in the hands of the powerful early on, in particular after she was captured by Alaric in 408 and married to his successor Athaulf. Both of her sons from this relationship, Theodosius and Athaulf, died at a very young age, and she was eventually released from Gothic captivity in 416 after her husband was assassinated. Back in Ravenna, her half-brother, Honorius, forced her to marry the new strong man Constantius III in 417, with whom she had a daughter, #Honoria (*418), and another son, #Valentinian (*419). The latter became a central figure in the Western Roman Empire when both Constantius III and Honorius died in 421 and 423, respectively, as he was appointed to Caesar by Theodosius II in 424 and to Augustus in 425 after the defeat of the usurper Johannes (423-425).
Valentinian III was only six years old and his mother Galla Placidia now ruled the West de facto as regent with the help of the various rivalling magistri militum, whom she played off against each other. By the mid 430s, however, the general Flavius Aëtius emerged as the winner of the infighting within the officer corps, which drastically reduced Galla's influence, all the more since Valentinian was rapidly approaching maturity. In 437, the emperor turned eighteen, and his mother stepped down as regent and retreated to Rome, where she died on 27 November 450. #archaeology #history #ancient #art #archaeologist #ancienthistory #travel #archaeological #rome #italy #museum #barbarian #heritage #byzantinetoman#arthistory #archaeologylife #culture #antiquity #medallion #photography #Solidus #byzantinecoin #byzantinearcheology #byzantinecoins #الصديق_الصدوق

Roman Coins - sign
Beginning with the first emperor, Augustus (ruled 27 BC-AD 14), the Romans regularly issued coins displaying a portrait of the ruler or one of his family members on the obverse (front). The reverse bore an image of a deity, mythological figure, building, or a historical event. The imperial portraits are finely modeled and often represent individuals not seen in surviving sculpture.
All the coins on view here are gold aurei, except no. 34, which is a gold solidus.
List of coins on display
A gold solidus, 21 mm, struck at Constantinople in the name of and portraying the Eastern Roman emperor Theodosius II, 402- 450 AD.
References include RIC x, 234, which dates the issue to 424/5.
The reverse commemorates the first joint consulate, in January 424, of Theodosius and his younger cousin Valentinian III, who had not yet been sent to Italy to become emperor in the West, hence he is here portrayed smaller and standing rather than being enthroned like Theodosius.

The Postcard
A postcard that was published by H. B. Ltd. of London EC. It was posted in Cleethorpes using a 1d. stamp on Thursday the 10th. July 1930. It was sent to:
Mrs. Watson,
54, Clifford Road,
Hounslow West,
Middlesex.
The pencilled message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Dear Old Pal,
Spending an hour or
two down here today.
How do these stockings
fit you?"
Pre-Decimal Currency
The ten shilling cost of the stockings is quoted in pre-decimal money.
The UK 'went decimal' on the 15th. February 1971. (1971 is often called the 'Year of the Con' because manufacturers and retailers used the changeover to increase their prices).
Pre-decimalisation money (L S D) was divided into pounds (£/L), shillings (s.) and pennies (d.).
'L S D' also stands for the hallucinogenic drug Lysergic Acid Diethylamide, but in this context it stands for the Latin words 'Libra', 'Solidus' and 'Denarius'. The coinage was as follows:
- 20 shillings (s.) in £1 (L)
- 12 pennies (d.) in 1 shilling (s.)
- 240 pennies in £1
- 480 halfpennies in £1
- 960 farthings in £1
The £ was represented by a printed note, and there was also a 10-shilling note.
A 'Guinea' (beloved of private medical consultants and solicitors) was 21 shillings - a way of extracting an additional 5% from the patient or client.
-- The British Pound and Inflation
The British pound has lost 94% its value since 1971, such that £100 in 1971 is equivalent in purchasing power to about £1,806 today. The pound has had an average inflation rate of 5.51% per year between 1971 and today.
This means that today's prices are 18 times as high as average prices since 1971, according to the Office for National Statistics. A pound today only buys 5.54% of what it could buy back then.
A Suspension in France
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 10th. July 1930, France pledged to suspend the construction of warships for six months pending the possibility of a new naval conference with Italy.
Bernhard Caesar Einstein
The day also marked the birth in Dortmund, German Republic, of Bernhard Caesar Einstein, a grandson of Albert Einstein.
He was a Swiss-American engineer, the son of Hans Albert Einstein. Of the three known biological grandchildren of Albert Einstein, all sons of Hans, he was the only one to survive childhood.
-- Bernhard Caesar Einstein - The Early Years
Bernhard Einstein was the son of Hans Albert Einstein and Frieda Einstein (née Knecht), who had married in 1927 in Switzerland. He was born on the 10th. July 1930 in Dortmund, Germany, where Hans Albert was involved in a bridge building project.
Hans Albert was the only one of Albert Einstein's three children to marry and have children.
Bernhard spent his early years in Switzerland until the age of eight, when his family moved to South Carolina. Albert Einstein was very worried about the rise of Nazi Germany, and encouraged his son Hans Albert to emigrate to the United States as he himself had done in 1933.
Hans Albert heeded this advice, and moved his family to Greenville, South Carolina, where he became a civil engineer working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Bernhard spent his teenage years in Pasadena, where his father was a professor at the California Institute of Technology, and in Berkeley.
Bernhard first met his grandfather Albert when he was two years old. As a boy, he travelled alone to spend time with Albert in New Jersey, and at Saranac Lake in upstate New York.
Albert Einstein died in April 1955. Having shared his love of music with his grandson, he bestowed upon Bernhard his violin in addition to a modest sum of money.
In 1954, Bernhard married Doris Aude Ascher (born 1930), with whom he had five children:
-- Thomas Martin Einstein (born 1955 in Switzerland)
-- Paul Michael Einstein (born 1959 in Switzerland)
-- Eduard Albert "Ted" Einstein (born 1961 in Dallas, Texas)
-- Mira Einstein-Yehieli (born 1965 in the US)
-- Charles Quincy Ascher "Charly" Einstein (born 1971 in the US).
-- Bernhard Caesar Einstein's Education and Career
Bernhard excelled only in German at the University of California at Berkeley. He enlisted in the US Army in 1954, and finished basic training at Fort Ord, near Monterey, California.
Bernhard was stationed in southern Germany where he met his first wife, Doris Aude Ascher, whom he married in 1954. After discharge, he applied and was admitted to the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zürich. He followed in his grandfather's and father's footsteps to study physics at the ETH.
When he obtained his diploma at ETH, Einstein returned to the United States and worked as an engineer for Texas Instruments in Dallas, Texas.
Bernhard then moved to California and worked at Litton Industries in the San Francisco Bay Area. His area of expertise was electron tube technology, and specifically light amplification devices for night vision.
He filed and obtained four U.S. patents related to light amplification technology while he worked for Litton Industries.
In 1974, Bernard moved back to Switzerland and worked in laser technology at the Swiss Army Research Lab in Thun, obtaining a further US patent.
Bernhard died in Bern, Switzerland at the age of 78 on the 30th. September 2008.
