3,000-year-old Egyptian flip-flops.
The pair of sandals was made from woven reeds and palm leaves, dating to around 1000 BC. They have been remarkably preserved due to the arid desert climate.

On display at the National Museum of Copenhagen.

The sister of a man who lost a naval battle against Carthage was caught in a crowd after the games. If only my brother lost another fleet, Claudia joked, the streets would be empty! For that she became the 1st woman in Rome to be put on trial for treason & fined

Can you believe this exquisite chest dates to the 9th century BC? It was interred with the remains of a ‘Rich Athenian Lady'. It features a row of model granaries which signified her wealth and status and potentially also her involvement in agricultural business

A thrill-seeking bisexual diplomat, a couple of maverick multimillionaires and Churchill's teenage daughter Mary are among the cast of chancers, charmers, egotists and eccentrics in Giles Milton's The Stalin Affair.
