This coin, a type very rare in #RomanBritain , dates from AD145-161. It features an eagle & a winged thunderbolt & came from a site in the City of London, hinting at visitors from Italy or southern Gaul. #FindsFriday #romanempire #archaeology #numismatics #commercialarchaeology
A 2,000 year-old Hellenistic mosaic glass bowl made of translucent dark blue glass with white spirals. Looks as if it contains the cool blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea! 🌊🌊🌊

A beautiful #Roman glass 'handkerchief' bowl made of a light blue-green glass, with an unusual wavy shape all round. This piece was made about 1600-1700 years ago, but in many ways looks like a piece of modern art (Chihuly, or similar) #Archaeology #AncientGlass
