When I sit in the @bsrome.bsky.social courtyard I always think about my MA research on Roman gardens & how they were healthy spaces. Despite the chaos of Rome (which is just on the other side of the walls), it’s so peaceful here. Full of greenery, water & the sounds of nature 🦅 🌲 ⛲️ #RomanGardens

OMG 😦 I’ve found a copy of Monumenti Antichi (42) 1955 at the @bsrome.bsky.social which has EVERYTHING I need in it. The online catalogue suggested it wasn’t available, but whilst randomly perusing the shelves I found it! IM SO HAPPY 😂 Massive thanks to the lovely Library team who helped me!
