Today on the blog. In 1478, a monk called Gregory wrote an account of his life. "Gregory" was actually George Sphranztes, close advisor to the last three Byzantine emperors, who witnessed the final Ottoman siege of the city in 1453. His book is available for free on @internetarchive. An amazing chronicle. This article is for subscribers but not paywalled. Worth signing up for!

Also: Egyptian mummy workshop discovered; a blogger searches for connections between medieval Ireland and the Byzantine Empire.

On this day, 570 years ago, Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks under Mehmed the Conqueror. With its fall, the Roman Empire came to its final end. Constantine XI Palaiologos, the final leader of the empire founded by Augustus in 27 BC, died defending the city and his body was never found. The Roman Empire and Roman civilization ceased to exist after nearly 15 centuries and nearly 22 centuries respectively.
