Continuing our annual tradition dating back to 2014, it’s time to announce our top blog posts from the last year. Yes, it’s been a slow year here at the Blog, our slowest ever in fact with only five total articles published all year.

However, 2023 did produce one of our most interesting posts yet, one that I’m not even sure what to make of TBH. If you haven’t read it, take a look below:

Poussin’s Plague of Ashdod (1628-30)

2020 was unlike any year most of us have ever experienced before as the global COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc.
