A little #FrenchHistory as background during the riots: (edited from #Wikipedia)

Did you know that 1200 years ago as #Rome fell, the #Christian world was nearly conquered by the #Islam World?

The Carolingian Empire (800–888) was a large #Frankish-dominated empire in western and central Europe during the #EarlyMiddleAges.

In #AD800, the #Frankish king #Charlemagne was crowned emperor in Rome by #PopeLeoIII in an effort to transfer the #RomanEmpire from the #ByzantineEmpire to western Europe.

Today seems a good day to again bring out this great find of an early medieval copper #crown, discovered 1838 in a #Frankish burial in #Xanten. 😲🤩

Which, well, was re-evaluated later thanks to other finds, like those #Merovingian … er, buckets. 🤭🤷🏻‍♂️

See, analogies matter. 😉
