DAY 15 – ADVENT SALE 🍷✨
Today’s item is the Roman indented beaker, a favourite across Roman Britain. The thumb-sized indentations made it easy to hold and perfect for wine. Enjoy Graham showing the final trimming on a replica Roman wheel at Vindolanda.

Happy Thanksgiving!

#booksky #blackbooksky You don't change history by erasing it. You don't improve the future by erasing history either.
It's not until you start reading that you realize "Black History" IS American History. You can't understand the way things are unless you know how things were.

A warm (if meteorologically rather cold🥶) hello from BLED, Slovenia

Can anyone suggest titles set in BLED for the database?

And how often do you get to sit in a giant Santa chair? 😆

Trump's DOJ confirmed 97.4% of people ICE has been arresting in Chicago have no criminal record whatsoever.

The state is using its power to terrorize a community. Worst of all, Chicago is not an isolated example and these abuses are not stopping at U.S. borders.

Today’s item is a Roman diamond-cut jar. The Romans knew how to make everyday life beautiful, and modern research shows that viewing handcrafted art can lower stress and support wellbeing. A perfect mix of beauty and history.
