A clever bit of artistry in this manuscript, making it appear like a dog has gone through one side of the page and out the other - 15th century, Kraków, MNK 3025 I, pp. 469-470

The Lewis Chessmen! 🤩 Characterful medieval chess pieces with wonderfully expressive eyes! 👀 From a large gaming hoard found on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, in 1831. National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh 📷 by me #Archaeology

A #Roman marble sculpture of two dogs playing or grooming together; found in Monte Cagnolo (Italy), & made 1800-2000 years ago. The Romans loved dogs just as much as many of us still do today! 🐶 #Archaeology #RomanArchaeology (📷 British Museum)

Finally out! Incredible, close, recreation of Ancient Greek tragedy “Orestes” - the full performance. Also two terrific short videos explaining the process of realising it. youtube.com/@oxfordancient… Brilliant work. These are must-sees, and should surpass the Rediscovering

Truly excellent that this remarkable restaging in Oxford of Euripides' Orestes, with the triple mix of Ancient Greek language, costume & music, is now available online. (Link below.) For the three Antigone articles we hosted about the performance see here: antigonejournal.com/2025/03/oals-r…

The internet shutdown in Afghanistan happened in real time in my online poetry class on Monday. The women's accounts dropped out one by one. The last to go was Neda. Just before her image froze, I promised to put her poem on Twitter. She's 11. Online was her last hope of

Saw someone say, “Stop hoarding books, we don’t need paper books anyway” and I can’t express how misguided this is. Online libraries disappear, digital books can be altered, and with Big Tech seeking to destroy history and literacy, print media has never been more essential.

At almost 2,000 years old, this child’s wooden toy sword is a remarkable survival from Roman times! Found in the living quarters of the cavalry barracks at Vindolanda fort in 2017. Dated c. 120 AD. Chesterholm Museum 📷 by me #Archaeology

It’s mind-blowing how well it’s held up — a stunning 1,800 year-old Roman mosaic floor from the House of Orpheus, Volubilis near Meknes, Morocco.

A monumental example of early European mosaic art. This 2,400 year old floor from the Aigai Palace in Vergina, Greece—constructed during the reign of Philip II—offers a rare glimpse into classical Macedonian grandeur.

It's the great Virgil's birthday today. So here are four books that add to the fun of simply reading his poems (to which, it hardly needs repeating, no other Latin poet comes close):

A #Roman wooden barrel, once used to bring supplies to the soldiers stationed at Bar Hill fort on the Antonine Wall (Scotland) - hopefully it was a little luxury that made frontier life a bit more bearable!
