Head of Classics Department in a UK grammar school and also an MPhil student with RHUL. Cardiac arrest survivor, hard rock fan, guitar collector and a Spurs season ticket holder. Always looking at my next gig or next travel destination 🤟
I have a season ticket on #SpursStadium south stand. Paid for an adult ticket for my 8yo granddaughter. Website says #spurs do not consider south stand suitable for children but I'm sure I've seen children up there. Is this just advisory?

Delighted to take ownership of this rather splendid volume today, especially as my good friend @drchristinah.bsky.social co-authored Chapter 10 🤟🏽

After virtually circumnavigating the globe over the past 18 months in search of a Roman coin collection that's not closed for renovation, I've just stumbled across this awesome display. This must be what Heaven feels like 🥰😍🤔 #IstanbulArchaeologicalMuseum

You'll have to fight the locals for a good seat in this #Istanbul restaurant @metalclassicist.bsky.social

Supporting Spurs should come with a bloody health warning. My blood pressure is shot to f*ck after that game!

Ever wondered why walking around museums is weirdly tiring? At normal speed our legs act like pendulums, swinging forward from the hip & saving us a huge amount of energy. In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified 🥳

An exquisite high-relief chalcedony cameo portrait of the Emperor Augustus: ca. Early 1st Century AD. The drill holes in the wreath suggest it was further likely embellished with gold leaves. #Roman #AncientBluesky 🏺

Andrew Tate got banned from Bluesky in less than one day.
Another reason things are so much better here than Twitter.

Was going to visit the numismatic collection at the National Archaeological Museum in #Naples after Christmas. Guess I'll have to go somewhere else!

So, apart from Caracalla and Geta being based on Beavis and Butthead, a very shaky plot, sharks in the Colosseum, and other animals looking like they'd just come from a Percy Jackson movie, it was an entertaining couple of hours. Denzel Washington is superb 👌🏽
