Me with my daughter today at the Roman theater of Prusias ad Hypium, a town founded by Greek settlers in 5th C BC. This structure was built during the reign of Emperor Augustus with a 2 story scene and seating for about 9,000 spectators. Now in Konuralp near Düzce, Turkey.
The Hagia Irene originally was the first large church in Constantinople, built by the Emperor Constantine in the 4th C AD. During the Nika riots in 532 AD, it burned down although was rebuilt afterward. This early Byzantine church was used for 900+ years. #istanbul #mosaicmonday
The upper part of a Roman statue of Tyche with some of the original paint that was found in Prusias ad Hypium (now in Düzce Province, #Turkey). It dates to 2nd C AD and is on display in the marvelous Istanbul #Archaeology Museums in #Istanbul, Turkey which I visited again today.
A late Rome "ridge helmet" made of iron, silver and gilding for a cavalry #officer. It was found in a bog in Helenaveen, Netherlands, dates to ca. 320 AD and is on display in the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden, #Netherlands. #archaeology #nederland #helmet
Inside the Pantheon with a wide angle lens right at closing, meaning that there is no crowd anymore. The #Roman temple was originally commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during the reign of the Emperor Augustus as per the inscription outside, which was rebuilt by the Emperor Hadrian.
"This monumental sarcophagus in red porphyry was made to hold the remains of one of the daughters of the Emperor Constantine the Great, most probably Constantia who died in 354 A.D..." Per the #Vatican Museums which I visited again yesterday. #roman #archaeology #roma #royal

A Roman bronze #Capricorn from the legionary standard of the Roman #army's Legio XXII Primigenia that was stationed in Mainz. It dates to the 2nd-3rd C AD, was found locally and is on display in the Stadmuseum am Markt in Wiesbaden, #Germany. Btw, I am headed to Amsterdam now.
Part of a fresco showing an intimate scene from a private building in #Pompeii which was destroyed in the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. It dates to roughly 50-79 AD and is on display in the National Archaeological Museum in #Naples, #Italy. #archaeology #frescofriday #history

This startling painted terracotta bust of the goddess Juno is from the Faliscan Sanctuary of Juno Curitis in Celle. She was made to be seen in the round (she was once a complete statue), and was probably displayed in the cella of the temple. #polychromy c. 380 BCE 1/
Can I tempt you with some fabulous food? Next time you’re in Rome, get a reservation at #TrattoriaMonti, which is a wonderful gustatory experience. Just a block south-east of Santa Maria Maggiore, it’s officially in the Esquiline, but the food is from the Marche region of Italy.

This #Roman Cameo in the Hermitage Museum, Russia, was commissioned by Agrippina the Younger & dates to around AD41/42. It shows her son, Nero aged about 5 with the Emperor Augustus and the Empress Livia - his Great Great Grandparents - illustrating his claim to the throne.
After a morning of being pelted with torrential rains and *loads* of hail, the sun finally came out, just as I was standing on the platform of Hadrian’s Temple of Venus and Roma. I mean, not a bad view. #Rome
The ‘Pine Room’ from the House of Augustus (Domus Augusti) on the Palatine Hill in #Rome. It’s a cubiculum - bedroom - decorated with frescoes of pine festoons against a background of colonnaded porticos; a simple black and white floor mosaic completes the room. 📸 me
@decimusclaudius It looks remarkably clean for such an old place ,those floors must require a significant amount of care
Here's an unknown Roman cavalryman from the early Principate for #TombstoneTuesday found in Strasbourg (FRA). The relief has been broken off above the inscription.

Look closely at these two photos of a 2nd c. CE sculpture of Dionysus made of Parian marble. The glint of gold is everywhere, as it was once fully gilded. Is he the syncretic Dionysus-Helios, part sun god? Museo Nazionale Romano, Palazzo Altemps (inv. 60920)
🪔 For #MosaicMonday: a 4th c AD roman mosaic depicting a woman holding a grey #sistrum. The sistrum was a sacred instrument in ancient Egypt. #Isis was depicted with a bucket in one hand, symbolizing the flooding of the Nile, and a sistrum in the other. Now in the BM. 📸 me
Happy birthday to Rome! According to myth, the city was founded on the 21st April 753 BC by Romulus after he killed his twin brother, Remus. #NataleDiRoma 🐺
