They say ‘fake it ’til you make it’, which might have proved embarrassing to the woman who once wore this snake bracelet, if the gilding chipped off at a party … to reveal the bronze beneath. Discount luxury, same as it ever was. 🏺 1/ Western Greek, from Cumae. 200-100 BCE. #BritishMuseum

So exciting !! I have daydreamed about tackling a Martial 'Steadman' some day and so glad to see one out! (of course maybe some day I or others will tackle more of his massive corpus, but 140 epigrams is amazing!)

Have you ever seen a book made entirely of silk? One item getting a lot of reading room attention recently is this "Livre de Prières." This book was manufactured with the Jacquard process, which relied on perforated punch cards to operate a loom, and is considered a precursor to early programming.
