Interior decoration Roman style! 🤩 Some 2,000 years ago, painted wall frescoes transformed a small room into an enchanting imaginary garden filled with lush ornamental plants, fruit trees, birds, and exotic statuary, all set against a sky blue background. House of the Orchard,…
🌞Meet Khepri, #Egypt's god of the rising sun, so obviously (?) taking the form of a scarab beetle in a blue wig - iconic in so may ways 😍 (image: Britannica)
A #Roman terracotta oil-lamp decorated with the image of a dog, looking very happy with a wagging tail. It was made about 1800-2000 years ago #Archaeology #RomanArchaeology
For #FindsFriday 3 Roman silver denarii of Trajan, Hadrian & Commodus dated AD 112–177. The denarius, equal to 16 asses, was the weekly pay for a Roman auxiliary soldier in the 2nd C. Losing these coins would have been a costly mistake for their owner—but an exciting find for us!
For #FindsFriday a few of the coins from the fabulous Bjerndrup hoard from Jutland (2018), which contained Carolingian coins from Italy, France and Lotharingia, as well as Anglo-Saxon, Arabic and early Danish issues. And in such amazing condition! #Vikings
#FindsFriday A little gem from the British Iron Age 🥰: a divination spoon - one of a pair unearthed near Crosby Ravensworth in 1869 There are only 17 pairs of these incredibly rare magical tools from Britain, Ireland & France 🧙 📷My own, on display in the British Museum
It's #FindsFriday! I recently recorded this complete late Iron Age to early Roman strap fitting. It has retained most, if not all of it's red enamel and is stunning! LEIC-8D4418 finds.org.uk/database/artef…
#FindsFriday Crescentic-shaped plaque of beanie It is decorated with a #Celtic of La Tene art design. It was once fixed to a larger flat object 200 BCE-50 CE #Archaeology #Art #History 📸 My own. St. Fagans National Museum #Wales
More incredible Roman finds from the Liberty development in Southwark, South London - this time some of the remarkable fresco fragments excavated there by @MOLArchaeology #FindsFriday #FrescoFriday
👀 #Tewkesbury Abbey, #Gloucestershire Purbeck marble bowl and tall oak canopy by John Oldrid Scott, 1878-9. The supporting Purbeck marble base & capitals are possibly 13th Century #FontsOnFriday
Detail from the Winchester Hanging Bowl. Dating from the late C7th or C8th, the bowl was found as part of an Anglo-Saxon burial at Oliver's Battery, near Winchester in Hampshire. Now part of the collections at Winchester City Museum. 📸 My own. #FindsFriday
Just a few of the rather lovely 1st and 2nd c AD ceramics from #Manchester #Roman fort (MAMVCIVM) and civil settlement, including amphorae, flagons, storage jars and bowls On display in the ever excellent @McrMuseum Yummy 😋 📷 Nov 2024 #FindsFriday / late #RomanFortThursday
The #Roman fort at Qasr Bashir, #Jordan, located 15km northwest of Lejjun (📷 taken by me in 2000). An inscription dates the construction of the Castra Praetorium Mobeni to AD 293-305. It was occupied throughout the 4th and into the 5th century. Umayyad pottery...1/2
Wow, this unique and exceptionally well-preserved Roman ‘scutum’ is the only known surviving example of the semi-cylindrical shield used by Roman legionaries! Fabulously painted with Roman symbols of victory. Leather and wood with bronze edge binding. Central metal boss…
