A wee bit of Megalithic art for #StandingStoneSunday
4 concentric circles pecked into a heathstone boulder in the Late Neolithic / Early Bronze Age
Ploughed up at Knowlton #Dorset in the 1970s from the bank of the Southern henge and used as a drain cover
Rediscovered in 2000

For #WorldHippoDay, here’s the long side of the Nilotic atrium mosaic from the House of the Faun in #Pompeii. Hippo vs. croc, with lots of ducks, lotus flowers, a mongoose and cobra, plus a couple of swamp hens and ibises. Open it up to see more. Fabulous.

Roman #Monopoly piece? A bronze figurine of #dog found at the #Roman roadside station on the Brandsteig, Aichhalden-Rötenberg, where a votive altar dedicated to Diana Abnoba was found. #Dogs were associated with Diana. The figurine may have been an offering to the goddess.

I am so, so tired. And I know you are, too.
Here's “Death blowing bubbles,” 18th century. The bubbles symbolize life's fragility. This plaster work appears on the ceiling of Holy Grave Chapel in Michaelsberg Abbey, Bamberg, Germany. After the monastery’s dissolution, it became a hospital.
