🏛️ Beautiful mosaic floor of the Roman baths at the Sanctuary of Poseidon, Isthmia, Greece. The baths were built ca 150 CE and were used by the athletes who performed in the Isthmian Games. The mosaic depicts Triton and sea creatures. Video filmed a couple of days ago.

Children loved to play with toys in #Roman times too: some 1,800 years ago, a child in Cologne was buried with a terracotta horse with a rider on wheels. It was certainly a much-loved which the child was also supposed to play with in the afterlife.

🏛 The ancient stadium at Messene, Messinia, Peloponnese, Greece. This stadium was used between the 3rd century BCE and the 4th century CE. This was used by athletes but apparantly during the Roman period it was also used to watch 'matches' between gladiators and animals. 📷 me.
