What better way to prepare for Xmas than seeing #TwelfthNight at the RSC. Superb cast, marvellous music & beautiful staging. Michael Grady-Hall is an outstanding fool. (That’s a good thing). This production is so deliciously funny your garters will be cross if you miss it!

Pecked to perfection: This rather splendid #cockerel with a basket of cherries can be found lurking in the back room of the bar of Sotericus at #Pompeii.

Blowing in the wind: A rare example of an anemoscope — an ancient device used to indicate the direction of the wind. It features the names of the winds and their quirky personifications, lips pursed in the act of blowing. #ParcoArcheologicodelCelio #Rome. #StormDarragh #AncientBluesky

This vibrantly painted tomb includes images of flowers, fruit and birds. The niches — that would have held the ashes of the deceased — still retain some of the names of those commemorated.

An afternoon of beats and rhymes at the Kiln Theatre today, watching a stellar cast probe the vagaries of life, love & music in #ThePurists. Wickedly funny & definitely fly, don’t miss @jasperbritton.bsky.social, Tiffany Gray, Emma Kingston, Richard Pepple & Sule Rimi hanging out on the stoop

Faded fame: This rather smart lararium (shrine) can be found in the House of the Red Walls, #Pompeii. It once featured paintings of a helmet, greaves, shield & dagger, leading to the theory that this was the house of a retired #gladiator!

The mighty sea-god Triton — half man, half fish — looking particularly fetching in this beautifully colour-coordinated mosaic, which can be found at the Archaeological Museum of Sparta. #MosaicMonday #Sparta #Archaeology

If you haven't gone yet, you've only got a week to get down to Hampstead Theatre to see Richard Bean's new play #Reykjavik. It‘s a superb piece of #theatre – funny, sobering, moving. Excellent cast. An astute slice of working life – with chips!
