===Ravenna Period (402 AD - 502 AD)=== The Pythian Omphalos appeared in Ravenna in AD 402, when the capital of the Western Roman Empire was transferred from Milan to Ravenna. With the fall of Ravenna in 493, and the founding of the Ostrogothic Kingdom of Italy, the Pythian Omphalos vanished for many years. ====Destruction of the Ravenna House (502 AD)==== After the Battle of Verona (489), the Germanic King of Italy, Odoacer, was forced to flee to Ravenna. In the ensuing three-year siege, the Ravenna House was destroyed, causing the Pythian Omphalos to vanish for over one hundred years. =====Ravenna House Mosaic===== The remains of the Ravenna House are still present in the form of a mosaic in a subfloor of the [[Basilica of San Vitale]]. This mosaic is used to train Pythian Academy apprentices teleportation from the corresponding mosaic in Venice.
