A Roman head of a female deity that belonged to a cult statue found in Claudiopolis (modern day Bolu) with well preserved reddish-brown paint and gold pigment. Unfortunately the eyes and earrings were removed. This was dated to 2nd C AD and is in Bolu Museum in Bolu, Turkey.

This #Etruscan tombstone comes from #Vulci, and is now in the #VillaGiulia in #Rome. It still has traces of #polychromy, but the central figure is surrounded by an #inscription, for #EpigraphyTuesday, that echoes the same concerns of #Roman tomb inscriptions.

Bernard Sleigh’s Anciente Mappe of Fairyland, originally published in 1917, is a stunning six-foot-long map that depicts the worlds of various myths, fairytales, and folklore on one single landscape: publicdomainreview.org/collection/an-…

Well, it looks like every post I’ve ever done is inaccessible. But notifications aren’t working either, nor is anything else. Elmo has ‘DOGEd’ his own platform, I guess …

#SpoliaSunday brings us to the wonderful #Turtle #Fountain in #Rome, whose #marble may well come entirely from the #temple of #Apollo #Sosianus, not a #manubial temple but its opposite, a grovelling temple by a former enemy trying to get back into the good graces of #Augustus.

#EpigraphyTuesday takes us north to #Milan, ancient #Mediolanum, to see a lovely bit of Julio-Claudian official script, raised upper-case "I"s and all, in honour of the empire's darling #Germanicus, prospective heir of #Tiberius, except it didn't work out that way.

Delighted to see the newly mounted info panel explaining the process of casting the tree roots outside the Large Gymnasium, #Pompeii. And yards away is my panel on the women who worked here, including Wilhelmina Jashemski who used this technique prolifically in Pompeii’s gardens.

This #sarcophagus could tell us a story for #SarcophagusSaturday, of a piece of imported #Greek #marble, carved rather indifferently (unfinished?) with Stygian waves, and used to bury a small child in #Trastevere. The scratched-in #inscription hints that it was a poor burial.

The BBC series ‘Pompeii: The New Dig’ just won an award! A well deserved accolade for a series that brought the wonder of an excavation to life through those who worked onsite and the incredible stories they unravelled. Huge congratulations to all the production team! 🏆
