Ravenna (Italian pronunciation: [raˈvɛnna], also [raˈvenna]; Romagnol: Ravêna) is the capital city of the Province of Ravenna, in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. It was the capital city of the Western Roman Empire from 402 until that empire collapsed in 476. It then served as the capital of the Kingdom of the Ostrogoths until it was re-conquered in 540 by the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire. Afterwards, the city formed the centre of the Byzantine Exarchate of Ravenna until the invasion of the Franks in 751, after which it became the seat of the Kingdom of the Lombards.
Although an inland city, Ravenna is connected to the Adriatic Sea by the Candiano Canal. It is the location of eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The origin of the name Ravenna is unclear, although it is believed the name is Etruscan. Some have speculated that "ravenna" is related to "Rasenna" (later "Rasna"), the term that the Etruscans used for themselves, but there is no agreement on this point.
There are many legends of Cornwall and Somerset that speak of Jesus coming to Britain in his teenage years, with his great-uncle Joseph of Arimathea, when the Bible is silent as to his whereabouts. But where did they land when they were en route for Glastonbury and the Mendips? There seems to be forgotten evidence that it may have been Puriton, then a port on the River Parrett, adjacent to a road which ran along the Polden Ridge to Street. Although now a small village, it could have been the lost Roman town of Uxella, mentioned in the Ravenna Cosmography (a record of the settlements in the empire), but which has never been located.

AmaWaterways Excursion to Wurzburg, Germany during Prague to Paris River Cruise on the Main, Rhine and Mosel Rivers documented by travel filmmaker Clint Denn. A Bronze Age (Urnfield culture) refuge castle stood on the site of the present Fortress Marienberg. The former Celtic territory was settled by the Alamanni in the 4th or 5th century, and by the Franks in the 6th to 7th. Würzburg was a Merovingian seat from about 650, Christianized in 686 by Irish missionaries Kilian, Kolonat and Totnan. The city is mentioned in a donation by Hedan II to bishop Willibrord, dated 1 May 704, in castellum Virteburch. The Ravenna Cosmography lists the city as Uburzis at about the same time. The name is presumably of Celtic origin, but based on a folk etymological connection to the German word Würze "her...

As a tour guide, I strive to get into the mindset of the people for whom art was created. Ravenna's mosaic-slathered Church of San Vitale dates from a time when the ancient world was on the cusp of the Middle Ages. For 15 centuries — ever since the days when Jesus was portrayed without a beard — pilgrims have pondered the path their lives will take as they work through the labyrinth leading to this amazing altar. With delightful symmetry and vivid symbolism, this lovingly assembled pile of mosaic chips has worked wonders on visitors for well over a thousand years. And we're excited to be bringing it home on public television. Subscribe at http://goo.gl/8iBEnS for my regular blog updates.
