Day 54 of #museumsunlocked . The corpus of bone dolls from #duraeuropos . Their specific features can tell us much about childhood experience at Dura & the construction of gender, status & social identities. Yale 1932.1703 & 1933.397 #archchild

A favourite of mine from the Museo Arquelogico Nacional in Madrid: a Roman period articulated bone doll. I will be posting more on the bone dolls from #Duraeuropos , my particular area of research, on Day 54. #MuseumsUnlocked Dan Hicks

#Syria : molto spesso parliamo delle nostre radici cristiane europee. Dimentichiamo da dove provengono: il più antico dipinto del volto di Gesù (2° sec). Si trova a #DuraEuropos , nei pressi di #DeirEzzor . Se muore il #cristianesimo in Siria, finirà anche in Europa! Ora Pro Siria

I see DuraEuropos put up its Christmas tree.

Attended 'Dura Europos: Crossroads of Antiquity' show at Boston College's @TheMcMullen back in 2011: with #opensource catalogue online, it's a great text to assign on #DuraEuropos in ancient #Syria for its visuals and accessibility: archive.org/stream/duraeur….

The 'Feriale Duranum', found at #DuraEuropos , is a list of the religious observances of the #Roman army, probably dating to the reign of #SeverusAlexander (AD220s/30s). It includes days to sacrifice to traditional deities (Jupiter, Mars) as well as members of the Imperial family.

Back at Swansea University to continue my #PhD project and this time it's an analysis of an article about Greek and near eastern double-naming at #duraeuropos as to suggest evidence of a hybrid culture through descendants.
