#ReliefWednesday #Roman tombstone of Flavinus found under Hexham Abbey floor. The high ranking Signifer from Gaulish cavalry regiment of Petriana carries standard w sun god + wears a #torque, possibly mark of status among his Celtic people, as he tramples a barbarian.

Seems bit odd, though, that the article claims, the "Taş Tepeler culture extended much farther than previously documented" without even mentioning Nevalı Çori, which - having produced similar smaller T-pillars - has been situated just some 30 km to the east.

The what? 🤔 www.dainst.blog/the-tepe-tel...

Finally! Looks like the #Kilisik sculpture's getting some more regional context. 😉 🏺 arkeonews.net/the-tas-tepe...

28 January 1925 | A French Jewish woman, Zelda Ostrowski, was born in Paris. She was Deported to #Auschwitz on 9 November 1942 from Drancy in occupied France. She did not survive. --- 🎧 Listen about the development of the mass murder infrastructure at Auschwitz: https://youtu.be/tRwZ49q-9e0

Bent iron sword and lance head found in a burial at St. Johann-Gächingen. Bronze and Iron Age weapons deposited in burials were often bent or hacked into pieces before being placed into graves.. In this way, they 'died' with the owner. 3rd c. BC 📷 Landesmuseum Württemberg🏺

Konflikte, großflächige Vertreibungen, erzwungene Rückkehrbewegungen und Naturkatastrophen prägten das vergangene Jahr. Was diese Lage für konkrete Hilfe bedeutete und was trotz knapper Mittel möglich war zeigen wir hier: www.uno-fluechtlingshilfe.de/ueber-uns/tr...

2025 war ein schwieriges Jahr für die humanitäre Hilfe. Drastische Kürzungen der staatlichen Unterstützung zwangen viele Programme zur Schließung oder Reduzierung. Auch der @unhcr.org musste seine Aktivitäten um rund ein Drittel einschränken.

How about a tiny wee Roman mouse from Rochester in Kent?

Here's All Saints and St Nicolas Church in Icklesham, grade 1 listed, dating back to the Normans & most likely Saxons, it was mentioned in King Offa's Charter of 772 This stunning Church has some amazing architecture, check out the stunning capitals www.nationalchurchestrust.org/church/ickle...

It's very foggy in Rothbury today. Cragside, which I can normally see in the distance from my studio window, has totally vanished. Bridge Street is feeling like the set for a Victorian murder mystery.......

Just thought of another one - this fragment of Roman tile from Trimontium in Scotland has been nibbled by a mouse (although maybe not this exact mouse).

Piraeus! Very happy archaeologist!

Fascinating world of ancient #glass: One of my favourite #Roman objects made of glass is this little basket (height 6.5cm). It is not clear what it was used for, possibly to hold cosmetics. From Syria, dating 3rd century AD. On display at British Museum 📷 me 🏺#archaeology

For #ReliefWednesday, among the splendours of the #BritishMuseum we find this quite large #sardonyx #cameo showing a goddess in a chariot pulled by two restless bulls. The size suggests an imperial commission of the #Severan period. Maybe Julia #Domna as #Selene or the Dea Syria. #AncientBluesky 🏺

Busted. 😳

26 January 1932 | A French Jewish girl, Suzanne Kuna, was born in Paris. She arrived at #Auschwitz in a transport of 1000 Jews deported from Drancy on 21 August 1942. She was murdered in a gas chamber after selection.

The earliest illustration of a chair being used during childbirth dates to 1450 BC. This birthing chair from the mid-18th century has an adjustable headrest and the base can be anchored to the floor.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

This is even better than Greek Anthology 5.225, which ends "I am Telephos, girl—be my faithful Achilles: Stop this longing you caused with your beauty.” Τήλεφός εἰμι, κόρη, σὺ δὲ γίνεο πιστὸς ᾿Αχιλλεύς· κάλλεϊ σῷ παῦσον τὸν πόθον, ὡς ἔβαλες.
