A rural site in northern Iraq suggests Christians and Zoroastrians shared space around AD 500. Architecture, burials, and settlement patterns at Gird-î Kazhaw reveal coexistence grounded in daily life, not texts. #Archaeology #LateAntiquity #NearEast #Religion www.anthropology.net/p/stone-fait...

Here's a video I took of the interior of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo in #Ravenna. It gives you a good sense of what it's like to view the amazing mosaics on site--the saints procession, the Palatium, and the christological panels.

#MosaicMonday brings us a detail from a breathtaking #mosaic from #Roman #Carthage, c. 375 CE, which has a complex design showing the months and the seasons in dazzling #acanthus and ribbon #frames. #LateAntiquity in North Africa was prosperous, as this floor from a #domus shows. #AncientBluesky 🏺
MOSAIC FLOOR WITH MONTHS AND SEASONS, C. 375 CE. BRITISH MUSEUM Here we see a detail of a fragmentary floor discovered in 1857 in Roman Carthage, the shipping hub of North Africa in the late western empire. At the corners of the floor are representations of the seasons: here we see Summer wreathed with grain, her large-eyed beautiful face modelled with subtle shading. She's glancing leftward and is wearing earrings and a gold necklace, a tunic with a gold stripe on the shoulder, and a red stola over her shoulders. A wonderful ribbon frame surrounds two sides of this detail. Springing upward toward the centre of the floor is a leafy stalk, and to either side acanthus leaves curl against a white background.

#MosaicMonday takes us into the chapel of S. Giovanni Evangelista in the #Lateran #baptistery in #Rome, which preserves intact its ceiling #mosaic from 461-468 CE, a glorious trellis enclosing the Lamb of God within a wreath, and birds with kantharoi - #syncretic #LateAntiquity. #AncientBluesky 🏺
CEILING MOSAIC, 461-468 CE. CHAPEL OF ST JOHN THE EVANGELIST, LATERAN BAPTISTERY This room, with a Greek cross floorplan, is very difficult to get into as it now functions as the sacristy of the Lateran Baptistery. However, it preserves its dazzling original gold mosaic ceiling, dating from the reign of pope Hilarus in the second half of the C5. The ceiling, four equal vaults meeting at centre, uses the four ribs as supports for a pergola bedecked with fruits and flowers, forming a central square containing a wreath with the haloed Lamb of God at centre. Four garlands drape downwards to make a clover pattern. On green lines following the bottom of the vaults, two per side, are kantharoi filled with fruit flanked by two birds, 4 per side, 16 in total: 4 peacocks, 4 ducks, 4 doves, 4 gallinules (?). The kaleidoscopic symmetry of the mosaic symbolises how the world is multiplied through the bounty of God. It is an extraordinary example of Christian cosmology seen through a late-antique lens.

Simeon of Beth Arsham was a debate heavyweight working far beyond Rome. 🎤🔥

In the Persian Empire, he proved big ideas didn’t need imperial borders.

Looking for scholarship on the sixth-century Western Roman senate/aristocracy. I have Barnish's article on the senate c.400-700, but ideally wanting something a bit more beginner level that doesn't take so much knowledge for granted!
