One of the things you learn as an ancient historian is that when you sit next to a white guy on a plane and they ask you what you do, you are going to to need to tell them that you are an accountant.

For #AncientSiteSunday the #Hellenistic theatre at Pergamon, #Türkiye, built in the 3rd century BC, alterations were made in the #Roman period. It's one of the steepest known ancient theatres. The capacity was about 10,000 spectators.

It felt to me like #30DayMapChallenge on Bluesky is a lot busier this year than last, so I used the API (atrrr in #rstats) to count up how many posts since the month started. Yup, I was remembering correctly.

Felix Vallotton's noir sensibility shows in his Hopper-like portrait (1896) of Felix Fenéon the editor of the literary and arts magazine La Revue Blanche working at night by a window, the dark panes framing piles of blank white paper.

Cara was a word for 'face' in everyday Latin, very rare in ancient writings, but it took off in Romance languages like Spanish.
Cara became chiere in Old French, and via the Normans, it took on new meanings in English, going from 'facial expression' to 'happiness' and 'loud shout' – namely, cheer.

Badger paths run across all the different layers of habitat in the glen. Across the fields, through gaps in the stone dykes then up and away into the hills where they make useful routes through the Bracken - narrow but just about walkable lines for humans through otherwise impenetrable vegetation.
