      Worth noting that two sites in St Ives Bay have produced 5th- to 6th-century Byzantine imports… One is the important post-Roman specialised industrial complex at Gwithian, Cornwall: http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/archives/view/gwithian_eh_2007/index.cfm …pic.twitter.com/ltvAFfBNhf

          One further site in the St Ives area where Mediterranean imports (sherds of African Red Slip Ware & an amphora) are said to be found is Hellesvean, St Ives, though it is usually rejected due to confused records… (pic=5th-century ARSW bowl on display in the Royal Cornwall Museum)pic.twitter.com/1yS878bcZw

          There was a shrine to St Ia by the Golden Gate at Constantinople in the 6th-century, apparently lavishly restored by Justinian; she was martyred in the 4thC by the Sasanian emperor Shapur II: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ia_de_Perse … & https://digi.vatlib.it/view/MSS_Vat.gr.1613/ … (Menologion of Basil II, 10thC)pic.twitter.com/IcHu60tdWT

          Looking across St Ives Bay to Hayle from Porthminster Beach, St Ives; fwiw, an early chapel and stone cist burials were exposed here by the shifting sands in the 1870s, but have since been buried again.pic.twitter.com/7eSWezCXMj

          A sunny, wide golden beach with a blue sea, surrounded by cliffs covered in lush green vegetation; the sky beyond is stormy over the other side of the bay, where a beach and tall sand dunes are visible.

          Incidentally, there are no Byzantine coins yet from St Ives Bay, but there is one from the Roman-era settlement at Chysauster, Cornwall, located around 4 miles from St Ives — a coin of Maurice Tiberius (582–602), minted in Alexandria…pic.twitter.com/RqDWqbzCfZ
