Fragment of 3rdC A.D. mosaic from the dining hall of a #Roman villa.

Theatrical scene with the charioteer Pelops & his wife to be Hippodamia (cloaked). And maybe her pleading mother.

A relaxing walk by the Canopus for #RomanSiteSaturday 🏛️ at Hadrian’s Villa.
Imagining we’ve been invited to dine by the Emperor🥂

Do excuse my misspeak! The ‘Villa Nile’, indeed 🙄

Isn’t it joyous that the museum display team has made it appear that Mercury is hovering in mid-air, with his winged sandals🪽🪽

Love the ❤️🩷 marble of this 2nd century CE herm. One VERY determined-looking faun, adorned with an ivy crown that you can just about still make out. Slightly jealous of his bone structure too...

Here is a section of one of the main roads into Cimiez (modern Nice) for #RomanSiteSaturday🏛️
The camber & covered drainage gully (running beneath the paving) ensures the road doesn’t flood 🌧️

Out now! Our 3rd Kidstory episode:

"Live Like a Roman"

Where we explore the exhibits of the excellent Canterbury Roman Museum, aided by some questionable crafting. (Turns out a coat hanger & electrical tape are all you need to make a dodgy strigil...🤷🏻‍♀️)

This magical Mercury’s foot #Roman oil lamp would glow & flutter in mid-air, thanks to the loops used to suspend it from a lamp stand 🪔

Love the aqua blue glaze on this
vase, found in Padua's southern necropolis. You can just about make out a hunting scene depicted across the 5 remaining fragments. 1st Century CE.

A lovely #romansite to start the weekend - the Arena Romana di Padova.

Right next to it is an amazing museum full of ancient artefacts, the Musei Civici Eremitani. There was so much to see that we had to go twice!

💚🤍♥️

A sultry lion is the perfect decoration for this tiny alabastron - used for oils & perfumes.

Fun installation at the Musei Civici, Padua, Italy, recreating a mosaic found under the Palazzo degli Anziani in 1932. Dating from 2nd century CE, this mosaic originally paved a thermal bath 🛁 ♥️.

A section of one of the UK's only in-situ Roman pavement mosaics! It's well under today's street level, so you can escape the bustle and pretend you're in Ancient Roman Canterbury ❤️
