I guess people *really* like ancient Roman glass! I was going to save these for next week, but what the heck. Here's two 1st c. BCE ribbed glass rippenschale bowls with white trails, one cobalt blue, the other burgundy. Probably made in the eastern Mediterranean. 😍 #GettyVilla

#PhallusThursday Phallus Thursday? We raise you a double. This fresco depicts the notorious Roman god Priapus with more than his fair share of member. 📍Lupanar, Pompeii

Two #Roman terracotta tile fragments from the fort at #Vindolanda (Britain), each bearing the footprints of animals who walked over them before the clay was finished drying (possible to see if it was ready for firing yet) #RomanFortThursday #Archaeology

This morning, a little experiment in digitally reconstructing ancient bronzes. Here, the famous statue of Livia from the theater of #Herculaneum, as it once might have looked, polished, with stone and glass eyes and bronze eyelashes. 📸 @drszucker Smarthistory, on right. 1/

A pair of #Roman glass drinking cups, in blue glass with ddcorstive blobs in white, red, yellow, & paler blue. They were made about 2000 years ago, probably in northern Italy #Archaeology #AncientGlass

For #FrescoFriday, something unusual. Do you know what it is? Something very unusual - a rare survivor of the Vesuvian eruption of 79 AD. Swirls of vivid grape vines and flying birds. Very Dionysian imagery ... #archaeology 1/

Chapps Dr Crom Anthony Majanlahti There’s so much detail to consider in this piece and this is just part of the scene! I thought about posting the whole thing, but the emotional tone of the detailed section of the bride won over

This week! I spoke with @drdanstewart1 about Greece during the Roman period which means we talked about Greece and Rome and I tried to temper my obviously biased love of Greece (I never try that hard let's be honest). It was so fun and fascinating. Listen: linktr.ee/mythsbaby

A #Roman mummy portrait of a young woman, with her hair up & decked out in some beautiful jewellery, including a double string of pearls around her neck. Sadly, we don't know what her name was, as this would have been written elsewhere on her mummy #RomanEgypt #Archaeology
