November 14, 1152 BCE: the first recorded workers' strike occurred in ancient Egypt under Pharaoh Ramses III. Artisans and laborers working on the royal tombs at Deir el-Medina stopped working in protest of delayed and insufficient rations, a form of wages. collezioni.museoegizio.it/en-GB/materi...
The so-called “Strike Papyrus” written by Amunnakht The scribe Amennakht is the author of this papyrus in the hieratic script. It is a report concerning a strike held during the reign of King Ramesses III in the village of Deir el-Medina. The workers protested because they had not received their regular food rations, which constituted payment for their work in the Valley of the kings. “Year 29, secondo month of the Inundation, day 10. Today the work squadron passed the control post shouting “we are hungry!” It is 18 days this month that (the men) go and sit at the back of the funerary temple of Tuthmosis III”. Despite various attempt at conciliation, the protest lasted a number of days. To the officials who tried to persuade them to return to work, the workers replied: “We are here because of the famine and thirst. We are not accustomed to not having unguents, fish, and greens. Write to the pharaoh our perfect lord, take note of our words, and write to the vizier, our superior, because we are in need of our provisions”.

Originally, this early 4th century CE mosaic of Bacchus sat in the entrance to a villa in Daphne (Turkey). It was meant to be a welcome mat of sorts that told guests wine 🍷 & parties were on the horizon. Today it hangs at RISD in Providence and there is far less wine in the museum (photos my own).

Villas in this region were often opulently decorated with stunning wall frescos and floor mosaics, like this medallion of the wine god Bacchus (the Greek Dionysos). While today this mosaic is displayed on the Museum's wall, it was originally located in the entrance hall of a Roman villa, as part of a much larger floor pavement that also included the mosaic to the right. As guests walked across the floor mosaic, these images of the wine god Bacchus and his thiasus, or followers, would have created an atmosphere of wine-drinking revelry and merriment, inviting them to enjoy the pleasures of life.

There is a new open access study of Roman ceramic tiles from Bracara Augusta (Portugal—Pleiades pleiades.stoa.org/places/236377) examining “420 prints from humans, dogs, cats, sheep & goats” left on the tiles.

November 7, 83 CE: On a waxen tablet, Quintus Cassius Secundus, a soldier of the Twentieth Legion, writes that he owed Gaius Geminius Mansuetus, a soldier of the same legion, 100 denarii, "which [I will repay … date due and interest]." (Brit. 23. p146) romaninscriptionsofbritain.org/inscriptions...

It retains its rims on three sides, including the notch in the top edge to take the binding cord. Inevitably there is no trace of wax in the recessed face, but the stilus has scored the wood, which is the usual silver fir (abies alba). One text was superimposed on another, the now vanished wax of course being smoothed over first, but for once the two texts can be distinguished. This is because the letters of the first text are now mostly incomplete, and although they contribute a confusing array of diagonal strokes, it is possible in time to pick out the letters of the second text because they are much better preserved and are more or less regularly spaced. There is also word division, fortunately, but no interpunct between words.

Annual reminder. 🩲
How to Gird Up Your Loins MANLINESS 1. The tunic wouldn't allow you to do heavy labor or fight in battle, necessitating the "girding" of one's loins. 2. First, hoist the tunic up so that all the fabric is above your knees. This will give you mobility. 3. Gather all the extra material in front of you, so that the back of the tunic is snug against your backside. 4. Once the excess fabric is gathered in front, pull it underneath and between your legs to your rear. This feels much like a diaper. 5. Gather half of the material in each hand, bringing it back around to the front. 6. Finally, tie your two handfuls of material together, and you're all set for both battle and some hard labor. Go forth, be ye men, and gird up your loins! © Art of Manliness and Ted Slampyak. All Rights Rescrved

At the Roman site of Olbia (pleiades.stoa.org/places/471987) near Arles (France), archaeologists have found hundreds of burials where funeral pyres facilitated cremated remains of persons and then were turned into tombs on the site of the pyre 🔥 . www.inrap.fr/pratiques-fu...
Following the cremation, some of the deceased's bones collapsed into the overcut of the burial pit. The bones are well preserved, although they exhibit numerous cracks related to the cremation process. While the remains of the skull and upper limbs lay outside the overcut, near the pit wall, the ankle bones (tibia and talus), close together and in their anatomical position, were found within the overcut. A vase placed there after the cremation had also fallen into the overcut. © Sylvie Duchesne, Inrap Following the cremation, some of the deceased's bones collapsed into the overcut of the burial pit.
