This green basanite bust of the Roman general-politician Germanicus Caesar was mutilated in antiquity, almost certainly by Christians. His nose has been hacked off, his chest gouged, and a cross has been cut into his forehead.

From Egypt, ca. 14-20 CE.

1st c. CE Roman terracotta from Syria, depicting two female musicians on a camel. They each hold a tympanum, a hand drum. If you look closely, you can see traces of bright pink pigment that once decorated their shared cloak.

This ancient Romano-British head of a woman wearing a diadem is depicting the *exact* same expression I’m currently wearing, after having just canceled my trip to the UK.

I love the little ‘kiss curls’ on her cheeks.
