headquarters of the National Geo.

Its geographical position once
rendered it an 'impregnable City OF
the Sea- and preserved it as a Pom
peii of the Byzantine Era Its pres

5O0th anniversary of the death of
Dante who is buried there; but its
permanent significance lies in the

it owed the presence OF the emper-
ors of declining Rome, and the same

spirit of the foul centuries, the fifth
to eighth. which it alone typifies.
How Geography Made Rayenna
"Reoall that the Apennines cut
across the upper part of the Italian
boot from Genoa to Rimini just north
of Ravenna. There the range turns
south. short of the Adriatic. Raven
ma, therefore. has a strategic position
in relation to Cisalpine Gaul, the Ital-

This position, in conjunction with
it's inaeeessibility made the little

herents while he c~ampaigned in Gaul,
into the mighty Ravenna, where
Honerius first established an imper-
ial residence, Odoacer set III a king
dom. and Theodore the Ostrogoth
finally established a Versailles of the
medieval world.
"Ravenna was inaccessible because
IL was laid out along canals among
marshes. The tide was the sanitary
agent. The principal complaints In
this respect were against flies and
frogs and an inadequate water sup
ply. One writer reports: We were
thirsty in the midst of the waters
Martial wrote:
"sThat landlord at Ravenna is
plainly but a cheat,
I paid for wine and water, but he
served wine to me neat.
The Brooklyn of Europe
"Architecturally Ravenna is the
Brooklyn of Europe. Its churches
are unique because they exhibit the
threefold influence of Roman, Byz-
antine and Christian art. A dozen or
more of these edifices are counted
of high artistic and historical merit,
and about them entire volumes have
been written. No place affords such
