Phenomenal Ravenna ! 😃
The small yet magnificent Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, a late Roman empress. Ironically, she’s never been buried in.

Galla Placidia (388-450 CE), the future empress, was the half-sister of the Westen Roman emperor Flavius Honorius (r. 395-423 CE), and the daughter of Theodosius the Great (r. 379-395 CE). She was taken hostage by Alaric during the sack of Rome 410 CE. #History #RomanEmperor #GallaPlacidia #Alaric #HistoryFacts https://www.worldhistory.org/Galla_Placidia/
