A lot of people will tell you we're a Roman Palace.

We are in fact a moon-sized super-weapon capable of destroying a planet.

A beautiful #Roman blue glass bowl, recovered during excavations in the city of Nijmegen (Netherlands). Not only is it a very lovely piece of glass, but it was actually found completely intact - not even a crack! - which is remarkable for a piece of 2000 year old glassware! AncientBlueSky

My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer.

For my #cambridgelatin friends in stages19-20!
The brilliant historian of astronomy Michael Korey was in Cambridge this week. He reminded me about the amazing app "Behind the Stars", which teaches how 4 beautiful astronomical instruments work. Give it a try!

Further on the new display of the Forma Urbis fragments. It looks like they're embedding them in a map of the (ancient) city IN THE FLOOR WHERE YOU CAN WALK DIRECTLY OVER IT!
