      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

      An aerial view of St Ives looking across to Porthkidney Sands and the Hayle Estuary, where finds of 5th-/6th-century Phocaean Red Slip Ware from the eastern Mediterranean and a 5th-century Chi-Rho stone have been made: https://www.intocornwall.com/engine/photo-gallery.asp?link_t=aerial+views+of+cornwall&photo=st+ives&ph=709 …pic.twitter.com/gJUiPNu9Be

      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.

      The entrance to the Hayle Estuary, with Lelant Towans on the left; another probable buried chapel and associated graves were found beneath the sand-hills here in the 19th century by railway workers, see https://issuu.com/cornwallarchaeologicalsociety/docs/no.3_1964 … (pp. 34–36).pic.twitter.com/u9sITExC0q

      Other early medieval finds from St Ives bay, Cornwall, include this 7th-century bar-lug cauldron/cooking pot from Gwithian & platter from Hellesvean, St Ives, on display in @Cornwall_Museum (see above on both findspots).pic.twitter.com/mlTLTkbMlj

      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

      From a bit further up the coast, a 6th- or 7th-century Byzantine coin found several inches down in a rock pool on Perranporth beach: https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/469910 …pic.twitter.com/k0AtkNOQlg
