Whenever I go to a bar or restaurant with my wife I always open the door for her and allow her to go in first. This looks like chivalry, but really I just don't want to have to speak to the person who greets you and asks if you have a reservation.

It’s time to start planning #LizTrussPM

Classical Studies Memes Virgil enters the chat: "Others (I can well believe) will hammer out bronze that breathes with more delicacy than us, draw out living features from the marble: plead their causes better, trace with instruments the movement of the skies, and tell the rising of the constellations"

Thank you! 💚

😍 Is there a more beautiful sight?

According to Seneca, the earthquake that shook the Vesuvian area happened today in AD63. In his description he reassures the reader that a flock of 600 sheep that died on Vesuvius didn’t die of fear but of exposure to lethal gases. #Pompeii #earthquake

Seneca’s description continues: ‘statues split, some people have lost their minds & wander about in their madness’. The relief from the household shrine of Caecilius Iucundus in #Pompeii shows the damage wrought by the earthquake in the Forum: the rocking of the Temple of Jupiter

Ancient Roman ruins at Pompeii have been fitted with invisible solar panel technology, in a move that will ensure the archaeological site’s sustainability and cut costs Pompeii Sites ow.ly/IWWr50MKNRl

No matter how many years I study Pompeii, this kind of discovery never fails to make me emotional. So sad.

The discovery of a lavish winery in Rome reveals how winemaking was reimagined as a form of theatre to entertain the elite. Dr Emlyn Dodd Institute of Classical Studies (ICS) explains the significance of the discovery to Charlotte Lytton The Washington Post 👇
