1887, Empire ottoman. Une nécropole royale antique est découverte par hasard par des tailleurs de pierre dans les environs de Saïda, au Liban. À l’intérieur gît un extraordinaire sarcophage de marbre figurant le plus grand conquérant de l’Antiquité. Récit🧶

’Tis the season for a biscuit set inspired by Victorian scrapbooking. 🍪 These festive scraps come from two scrapbooks in the @powerhouse Collection, both thought to have been compiled by children between 1880 and 1890.

#mosaicMonday offers us a surprise reveal in the #BathsofDiocletian in #Rome: for the first time in many years, the authorities have removed the covering of this astonishingly intact black and white #mosaic in the shallow #exedra off the modern entrance #garden.

Hoy en el año 1864 se halló en Roma, a nueve metros de profundidad una estatua de bronce dorado de casi cuatro metros de Hércules.

‘Below the Clouds’. A beautiful trailer for what looks to be a beguiling film by Gianfranco Rosi about Naples. The title reminded me how Vesuvius somehow heightens the drama of the cloud formations above it. Watch the film trailer here: youtu.be/eF_RPx6CXFw

Why #ContextMatters (not only, but particularly) in #archaeology: An archaeological artifact without its documented find context is … like an image ripped from a book (and the rest of the pages torn into shreds): something nice to look at, but missing the actual story about it.

For all those people doing digital reconstructions of Roman architecture, particularly the fora of Rome, this TV series correctly featured #polychromy (look at the pediments) 20 years ago. What’s your excuse? Why are all the newest reconstructions pure white?

For #epigraphyTuesday, do we have #epigraphy? We do. Do we have a #Trajanic tomb monument from the #viaLabicana outside #Rome? We do. And do we have the hair ancestor of the Sydney Opera House? We most certainly do! Today we raise a glass to my friend Maria Auxesis.

In the gloom of a room in the House of Obellius Firmus, #Pompeii these three serene women huddle. It’s suggested that the fresco might represent Electra at the grave of her father Agamemnon but whoever they are there is a heavy sense of melancholia. #FrescoFriday

Goodness knows how I had never been in the House of the Red Walls, #Pompeii but I hadn’t until today. The two rooms decorated with a rich red background engulf you, spindly architecture lift the space, and the figurative panels are little windows of brightness. Utterly stunning.
