ANCIENT ITALIAN
CITY OF RA VIENNA

which remained the seat OF govern
ment for Italy not only during the
few remaining years OF the Western
empire, but throughout the ascen-
dency OF the Greek emperors. Here
the Byzantine viceroys of exarchs for
the peninsula made their headaunr-
tiers until the advent OF the Lom-
bards in the eighth century.
Many OF the most fascinating ep-
isodes OF history are associated with
the name of Ravenna, such, for ex-
ample. as the tragic story of Odoacre,
who wrested the realm Of Italy from
Orestes In 476 and then waged bitter
war against Theodore the ostrogoth
for many years, finally being shut up
in Ravenna where he withstood
siege Of three years. At length Odo-
acre capitulated with the understand
ing that he and Theodore should III
vide the kingdom equally between
them. To celebrate the compact
magnificent banquet was spread in
famous laurel grove. and here while
the two rulers toasted the Ostrogoth
with his own hand slew his royal
rival.
FAMOUS BatEe.
During the famous battle of Ra-
VIENNA in 1912 the picturesque CASTOR
de Folk completely routed the Span
laTds under Cardona. but threw away
his own life in the excitement of vic
tory. 1t was in this battle that a
Captain Fabian, emulating the ex-
plot of the legendary Swiss hero
Winkelried. seeing that his men
could not break through the wall of
Spanish spears, raised his long pike
high over his head and brought 1t
down crosswise with crushing force
upon the opposing arms, thus sacri-
ficing his own life but making a
small gap in the enemy's line through
which his own men rushed.
Two names which shine In the
garland of Ravenna's renown are
those of Italy's greatest poet and one
of the four great epic writer's OF civil
lization, Dante. and Lord Byron. 1t
was in Ravenna that the founder Of
the modern Italian language died In
1921, and here his body is treasured
in an urn beneath square tomb.
Byron, during his italian sojourn,
lived in this city for two years. being
attracted not merely by the famous
Pineto (pinewoods) FIVE miles to the
south, but by the charms Of the
Countess Guiccoli. Nor should 1t he
forgotten that in the, adjacent
marshes Anita, the heroic wife of the
Italian liberator Garlbaldi, died of
fatigue during her flight from the
French In 1849."

Recently Scene of Austrian Air.
craft Bombardment is De-
Scribed by Geographers.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Raven-
ma, the scene of recent lombard
ment by Austrian aircraft, is the sub
ject OF today's war geography bulle-
tin, issued by the National Geograph-
&c Society from ,its Washington head-
quarters, which says:
Forty miles east of Bologna, sew
enty miles south of Venice, and a
hundred miles southwest of the Aus
trian naval base of Pola, lies the an
Client Italian city OF Revenna, which.
with the possible exception Of Rome.
possesses more magnificent examples
of ecclesiastical architecture of the
byzantine period than any other city
in the world.
Treasure-Tfove.
In art, in literature and in histor-
ic significance Ravenna is a treasure
trove for student and traveller Its
beginning Is attributed to the Thes-
salians, but there is more tradition
than fact in the accounts of the re-
gion over which 1t held sway until it
came under the jurisdiction of Rome
nearly 200 years before the Christian
era. 1t was here that Julius Caesar
was accustomed to come for his con-
feernces with friends and political
advisers from Rome during his ten
years campaign in Gaul.
THE importance of the port which
strongly resembled Venice IN its early
days, but which is now six miles from
the Adriatic. dates from the time
when Augustus Caesar designated II
as the naval base of the the upper
sea- It's harbor being able to accom-
modate ESQ ships at time. At that
period the marshy plain which now
surrounds the town at the confluence
of the Montone and Romeo rivers, was
little more than vast silt bed. The
houses were built on piles, and at
high tide the sea formed numerous
lagoons, the salt water so effectively
removing the danger of malaria that
the city soon acquired a reputation
as health resort, to which the glad
iators of Rome were sent for train
ing.
Golden Age.
"Ravenna's golden age came not
with the Augustan era, however, but
while the great Roman empires
doom was being sealed. Honorius
and his remarkable force from the
North. transferred their court from
the Eternal City to the Adriatlc port,
