Our project, inspired by the Visigothic queen Baddo, will generate a context-based LLM with secondary sources produced by historians who research one of the excision of Christianism: Arianism. This includes data from both Spanish and abroad historians from the twentieth century to the present.
Did King Reccared convert the Goths, or did he take too much credit?
At the Third Council of Toledo, King Reccared was hailed as the unifier of the Goths and Suevi. However, Saint Leander of Seville used his homily to subtly remind the monarch that true conversion comes only from Christ.

Baddo and Theodora:
In previous publications, we discussed Queen Baddo's signature on the minutes of the Third Council of Toledo. We used Degrain's painting "Conversión de Recaredo" (1888) to illustrate this. Today, we will examine how this relates to Empress Theodora.

Hard to overstate what a *huge* win this is for OpenAI in its strategy to spread its malign, brain- and planet-destroying tentacles all through the education sector. Oxford’s global standing will create a permission structure for many other schools to do likewise. “If Oxford’s doing it, then…”

Now that the warm weather has arrived, some annoying little animals like moths and mice come to us. What can we do with them? Well, of course, worship them. Or at least that is what Martin of Braga says that the rustics in the Suebi kingdom of Gallaecia in the 6th century did.

Beyond Antiquity, before the Middle Ages: The Late Antiquity.
Dear history buffs. As many of you already know, the year 476, with the the gradual destructuring of the Western Roman Empire, has traditionally been set as the end of the Antiquity and the beginning of the Middle Ages.
