#OnThisDay, 19 March 1944, Yvonne Baseden parachutes into Nazi-occupied France as a Special Operations Executive radio operator. The British SOE supported the French resistance. Radio operators ran the greatest risk of discovery as their position could be triangulated when they were transmitting.

Baseden was captured and sent to Ravensbrück.

She was the subject of the first regular UK edition of This Is Your Life in 1955.

**Slavery, Prosperity, and Inequality in Roman Pompeii**

_“These narratives can be seen to form two sides to the same coin, as Pompeii’s prosperity was created in large part thanks to slave labour. The connection is supported by constructing a probabilistic model, which suggests some 6 million sesterces (HS) flowed every year to Pompeii’s masters through their exploitation of slaves. Slave owning probably formed the largest single income source for the urban economy.”_

Historians have written a fair bit on presents given by Britain, France, and the US to Indigenous peoples in North America. As I peruse the early 19th-century correspondence of the British Treasury, I keep coming across references to similar practice elsewhere - Surinam, Nicaragua, Honduras... Has anyone written on diplomatic gifts in these places? A comparative history might be interesting.

How did #UnivofStAndrews benefit from, participate in, or support, British colonialism? Our report 'The University of St Andrews and the legacies of empire, 1700-1900' is now available https://legacies-of-empire.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/

The detail of our findings may be of most interest to those closely associated with #standrews #Fife and #Tayside, or #Scotland; but I hope that our approach will be of interest to a wider audience. #history #histodons

ASTROLOGVS HIC SIT CAVTVS - literally: the astronomer should be careful here.

This is a detail from the so-called star mantle of Heinrich II., made around 1000 AD. The meaning of the gold woven comment:

#OnThisDay, 18 Mar 1979, the first National Black Women’s Conference started in Brixton, London, arranged by the Organisation of Women of African and Asian Descent (OWAAD). Over 300 women attended.

OWAAD was founded by Stella Dadzie and Olive Morris in 1978 to bring a black feminist perspective to political action.

Morris died in July 1979 of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In 2024, she was recognised for her work with a blue plaque.

“Once, with hand-grenades in my shopping bag, I travelled in a train so full that I had to stand against a German NCO.”
