Title A name given to the resource Household Items Description An account of the resource In modern scholarship, historians have begun learning more about the daily life of the Byzantines. Emerging from the Pagan society of the Romans, Byzantium quickly turned to the a religion, Christianity. Many of the most brilliant examples of Byzantine culture are manifested as liturgical objects, or ecclesiastical architecture that has survived modern times. However, there is a much more intimate and personal side of history as well. Objects from the household provide insight into daily life of a Byzantine family. Homes in Byzantine were not only a place for resting one’s head; they were also for devoted members of society to continue their religious, personal, and artistic lives. Items as simple as jugs used for washing, or trunks that held valuables, carried icons from the Bible as decoration. Ornament and functional items often held a larger insight into the attitudes and artistic views of ordinary people in Byzantium.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Sculpted Head of a Dionysiac Figure (Pan?) Subject The topic of the resource Dionysus or Pan Description An account of the resource This figural sculpture presented is possibly representative of two mythological Gods from the Greek antiquity, Dionysius or Pan. Dionysius is known as the God of fertility and wildlife but also wine. Pan is known as the God of flocks and pastures but has also been considered the God of all nature. The sculpture here depicts a bearded male with narrow eyes, long nose, and thin lips making it hard to decipher who exactly this might be. However, despite the confusion of who the subject may be, it is evident that this sculpture looks back to Greek mythology during the early Byzantine era.
