Castello della Magione The Castello della Magione ( also Magione di San Giovanni al Ponte or Spedale di San Giovanni in Gerusalemme alla Magione ) is a medieval castle in Poggibonsi ( province of Siena , central Italy ) . It is an example of a medieval " Mansio " ( residence ) that belonged to the Knights Templar . The castle includes the ancient church and the “ spedale ” ( hotel ) for the pilgrims in transit to Rome on the Via Francigena . The complex is near the ancient crossing of the Via Francigena over the Staggia River , near the Bonizio bridge , now destroyed . History . The castle dates from the 11th century . On 5 September 1140 , it was donated by Gottifredo di Arnolfo and Arnolfino di Cristofano , heirs of the founders , to the Monks of the Saint Michael Abbey in Poggio Marturi . The monks entrusted it to the Knights of the Temple , becoming one of the numerous " Mansiones " or " Domus Templi " on the Via Francigena . In 1312 , as the Order of the Templars was abolished by Pope Clement V , the Magione was given to the Knights Hospitaller . The castle , downgraded to a farm , was bought by several people , among whom were the Princes Corsini . In 1979 it was acquried by Count Marcello Alberto Cristofani della Magione , who donated it to the Militia Templi , which was just being founded , as the Magistral See . After the donation , restoration of the entire complex began . The castle maintains signs of its Romanesque origins , in spite of some changes made during the ensuing centuries . Overview . Seen from above , the complex assumes a nearly trapezoidal shape , in that it follows , on the west side , the course of the River Staggia . In the courtyard , visitors will see the premises of the convent for the Knights , the small guest - rooms and the flight of steps for access to the upper floor . The Magistral Church of San Giovanni in Jerusalem is designed in a pure Romanesque style , as it can be seen from the altar . The restoration has shown the Burgundian - Cistercian influence of the vault construction .

This may make the mine unstable i . e . can detonate simply by handling it . The mine is found in Angola , Iraq , Kuwait , Liberia , Mozambique , and Zambia .

Eurymedon ( strategos ) Eurymedon ( Εὐρυμέδων ) ( died 413 BC ) was one of the Athenian generals ( strategoi ) during the Peloponnesian War . In 428 BC he was sent by the Athenians to intercept the Peloponnesian fleet which was on its way to attack Corcyra . On his arrival , finding that Nicostratus , with a small squadron from Naupactus , had already secured the island on behalf of Athens , he took command of the combined fleet . Owing to the absence of the Peloponnesians , Eurymedon had no chance to distinguish himself . In the following summer , in joint command of the Athenian land forces , he ravaged the district of Tanagra . In 425 BC he was appointed , with Sophocles , the son of Sostratides , to the command of an expedition destined for Sicily . He stopped at Corcyra on the way , in order to assist the democratic party against the oligarchical exiles . However , Eurymedon took no steps to prevent the massacre of the oligarchical exiles . Afterwards , Eurymedon proceeded to Sicily . Immediately after his arrival in Sicily a pact was proposed by the Syracusan general , Hermocrates , to which Eurymedon and Sophocles were induced to agree . The terms of the pact did not , however , satisfy the Athenians , who blamed its conclusion on bribery . As a result , two of the chief agents in the negotiations were banished , while Eurymedon was sentenced to pay a heavy fine . In 413 BC Eurymedon , who had been sent with Demosthenes to reinforce the Athenians at the siege of Syracuse , was defeated and slain before reaching land ( Thucydides iii . , iv . , vii . ; Diodorus Siculus xiii . 8 , n , 13 ) .

Battle of Bagrevand The Battle of Bagrevand was fought on 25 April 775 , in the plains of Bagrevand , between the forces of the Armenian princes who had rebelled against the Abbasid Caliphate and the caliphal army . The battle resulted in a crushing Abbasid victory , with the death of the main Armenian leaders . The Mamikonian family ' s power in particular was almost extinguished . The battle signalled the beginning of a large - scale Armenian migration into the Byzantine Empire . Background and the battle . Following the establishment of the Abbasid Caliphate , Caliph al - Mansur abolished the subsidies paid to the various Armenian princes ( " nakharar " ) and in addition imposed heavy tax duties on them . Coupled with instances of religious persecution against the majority Christian Armenian population , these measures prompted the outbreak of a major anti - Abbasid revolt in 774 . The revolt was led by Artavazd Mamikonian , but gathered the direct or tacit support of most " nakharar " families , most notably the hitherto pro - Arab Bagratuni , while the Artsruni and Siwni families remained neutral . The rebellion spread through Armenia , including attacks against Arab tax - collectors , and the local Arab governor , al - Hasan ibn Qahtaba , was unable to contain it . The Caliph sent 30 , 000 Khurasan is under Amir ibn Isma ' il into the province , and at the Battle of Bagrevand on 25 April 775 , the " nakharar " suffered a decisive defeat , losing their leaders , Smbat VII Bagratuni and Musel VI Mamikonian . After the battle , the revolt was brutally suppressed by the Abbasids . Aftermath . As Mark Whittow writes , the battle was a " watershed in Transcaucasia n politics " . The defeat of the Armenian revolt eliminated the power of several of the " nakharar " houses , most notably the Mamikonian , Gnuni , Amatuni , Rshtuni , Saharuni and Kamsarakan families , which survived " either as dependents of other families , or as exiles in Byzantium " ( Whittow ) . On the other hand , the Artsruni , who switched over to the Caliphate in time , profited from the power vacuum to rise to power in Vaspurakan , while the Bagratuni , after retreating for a while to their mountain strongholds , managed to reclaim a dominant position in the country during the 9th century . The Abbasids followed the re - imposition of control over Armenia by a similar purge of the native Christian nobility in neighbouring Iberia in the 780s , as well as by a new settlement policy which saw increasing numbers of Arab Muslims settled in the Transcaucasus , with the effect that by the turn of the 9th century , the Arab element predominated in the towns and lowlands . In the next century , Caucasian Albania was effectively Islamicized , while Iberia and much of Armenia came under the control of a series of Arab emirates .
