For #FrescoFriday here's a classic: 'Ladies in Blue' is a restored Minoan fresco from Knossos. The colour blue often appears on frescoes in garments worn by the elite, indicating blue was a status symbol in the Bronze Age Aegean and East Mediterranean.

This is a fascinating bit of research diving into why some octopuses have larger brains than others. #science #intelligence #evolution

A popular idea suggests a link between big brains and a rich social life, but octopuses don't fit the pattern, which suggests something else is going on

One of the most scenic Roman roads in Britain runs from the fort at Burrow fort north to the fort at Low Borrowbridge in the lune gorge running along the slopes of the Howgill fells in Cumbria. The shot shows the road passing Low Carlingill farm. The road continues up to the Eden Valle #Margary7c

Possibly the most sublime Roman fresco of a temple.
The architectural detail of the spiky-topped wooden barrier, the painted relief in the pediment, & the offerings burning on the altar; it’s a symphony of observations.

The remains of Peel turret at Steel Rigg on #HadriansWall was an extra addition to the wall dating to the late 2nd Century AD but was short lived. The view shows in the foreground how the wall was rebuilt and narrowed during the reign of Septimius Severus #archaeology
