How did Romans clean their ears?👂🧐 Introducing the #Roman Toilet Spoon! This tool could be used for grooming, hygiene, makeup, and even surgery. Found at a Roman villa site Earth Trust, this #artefact shows how advanced personal care was even 2,000 years ago! 🏺✨

One of our favourite finds from a #Roman villa at Earth Trust: a copper bracelet, first an adult's, then resized for a child. A possible family heirloom from a Romano-British home near Wittenham Clumps. A small artefact with a great story🏺✨

🦉✨Spot the owl hidden owl in this Roman comb! The little ring-and-dot motifs make the eyes, while the comb teeth form delicate feathers. We found three examples of these bone combs in burials associated with the Roman villa at Earth Trust.

Someone had a VERY bad day in the 3rd century! 😅 We found 26 #Roman coins clustered in a ditch - likely dropped while still in a purse (now rotted away) near our villa excavation at @Earth_Trust 💰
