portrayal of the team working on site.

It’s been a privilege watching these frescoes of scenes from Trojan mythology emerge from the pumice in Region 9, Pompeii Sites.
And what an unforgettable experience it’s been working with Rebecca Morelle and others to bring these discoveries to the public gaze this week. #Pompeii .

Congratulations to Krish on completing a whole year of #KidsBookReview podcast! It was an honour to be one of your authors. 😊 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/kid…

Just heard latest ep of Against the Lore Podcast podcast w/ shout-outs to best 'ancient' TV shows. I agree w/ Barney who chose the 2010-13 #SpartacusBloodAndSand . With extreme gore & explicit sex, I think it's probably the closest to the ancient mentality. The team pitch fun new ideas, too!

My fave object in the #Legion exhibition is the square tunic, made of linen w/ wool stripes from Egypt c. 400-600 CE. When belted it would look like this, as Faith Pennick Morgan's excellent book shows. amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/AS… GET IT RIGHT, FILMMAKERS!

Artemis, Dionysus, Plutos (AKA Hades), Eros, Athena… and some wrestlers! Some of my fave Ancient Greek vases…

Having fun with plastic sword and cuddly legionary’s shield in the British Museum gift shop! #Legion And oh yes, the exhibition is good, too! 😁

Enjoying a coconut mocha and a good book in the Members’ Cafe of the British Museum ☺️

Some wonderful objects in wood, rush, bark cloth & salmon skin at the #Ainu exhibition at Japan House London on High St Ken. It’s on for a couple more weeks and it’s FREE! 😊

In Plato's Republic, Socrates predicts that the Just Man ἀνασχινδυλευθήσεται ('will be impaled/crucified'). Ancient Christians saw in this a prophecy of Christ's death. To round off his Easter trilogy, Mateusz Stróżyński explores the striking parallels: antigonejournal.com/2024/03/plato-…

This dish from National Highways A428 Black Cat to Caxton Gibbet deserves its own #SamianSaturday dedication!

Despite being produced two millennia ago, nearly all the pieces remain! The maker's mark is worn but still visible, so we may be able to find out the potter's name soon 🏺
