Although Naples is full of Christian history as you would expect. There still plenty of hidden gems for us Pagans to enjoy also. I took these pictures of the basilica church San Paolo Maggiore. It was first built in the 8th - 9th century and dedicated to St. Paul to celebrate a victory in 574 of the Duchy of Naples against pillaging Saracens. It stands on the site of a 1st century temple to the Dioscuri, the collective name given to Castor and Pollux. Six columns and a triangular tympanum remained of the temples pronaos and were visible until 1688, when sadly was destroyed by an earthquake. These two Corinthian columns from the temple survived however and have been incorporated into the church we see today.

A diagram from a paper called “Baffles and Bastions,” published in the Journal of Archaeological Research. It shows various techniques used at fortified points of entry to gain an advantage over invaders. Ideally, navigating this architecture forced attackers to expose their vulnerabilities, such as their undefended right side when turning left and their rear to defenders fire.

Danish Runic Inscription 66 or DR 66, also known as the Mask stone, is a granite Viking Age memorial runestone that was discovered in Aarhus, Denmark. The inscription features a facial mask and memorializes a man who died in a battle. The runic text indicates that the stone was raised by four men as a memorial to a man named Fúl. The relationship between the men is described as a félag, which was a joint financial venture between partners during the Viking Age.

Gunulfʀ ok Øgotr/Øþgotr ok Aslakʀ ok Rolfʀ resþu
sten þænsi æftiʀ Ful, felaga sin, æʀ warþ... døþr,

Gunnulfr and Eygautr/Auðgautr and Áslakr and Hrólfr raised
