Working #women are frequently attested in the #Roman empire: the funerary stele of Sentia Amarantis depicts the deceased tapping wine from a barrel. She was an inn-keeper and died at the age of 45. The stele was set up by her husband. From Augusta Emerita/Mérida, 3rd c. AD. #ReliefWednesday 🏺

A fascinating and poignant object: a baby’s rocking cradle from Herculaneum, which was carbonized when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. It’s the only known Roman rocking cradle. 🏺 Photo: P. Macdiarmid via www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/muse...

Early 20th century Georgian representation of the grape harvest. Grape treading and must collection in clay jars are identical to Roman procedures 2000 years earlier. 🍇🍷💚

Next week we will be bringing these two 'karas' bottles to 'deepen' our talk on ancient and modern clay jar wines in Athens! #ConsumingThePast 2-5 nov 🍇🍷🤩

Discussing the fascinating villa di augusto at somma vesuviana with students today in Ghent. A major find for the rural and winery history of roman Italy!

Looking forward to talk on ancient Roman dolia and modern winemaking parallels with Paulina Komar at this exciting and out-of-the-box gathering in Athens soon! "In search for lost tastes: comparative and ethnographic perspectives on ancient wines"

Despite what was said at time of discovery, charcoal graffiti did survive years & other examples can be dated years earlier, so this is not in anyway proof that the eruption was in October. There is other evidence for that, but graffiti ain't it. Still! Happy 16 days before the Kalends day!

New data further strengthen Mycenaean input via the Aegean in the introduction of domestic grape varieties in southern Italy in the Middle Bronze Age & subsequent mingling with local wild vines to shape new vine-growing traditions! rdcu.be/doFSo

Ok, managed one bottle of beaujolais nouveau 🍇 fingers crossed it doesn't start refermenting 🍷and 🤯

Published exactly three years ago, BAR Int Series 3000, still proud of this first edited volume on Roman resilience 🙏to BAR_Publishing #romanarchaeology #classics #archaeology

07/12-08/12 - a little less than two months before our conference on wine and institutions in the ancient world at Ghent University. Looking forward to this great group of speakers! Book of abstracts here: www.academia.edu/107648068/Wi... #ancientworld #ancientwine #romanarchaeology

🙏🍇

Don't miss this great opportunity to hear on large-scale wine production from some of the best in the field. Alas, I will not be able to attend, as I will be at yet another wine conference in Athens ... www.college-de-france.fr/sites/defaul...

This was winemaking in many rural household in antiquity: just plain hand-picking and treading grapes and pray for the miracle of fermentation. 🍇🙏 Good wine? No, but it did the trick (almost). 🍷#romanfood #romanhistory #romaneconomy #ancientwine #winemaking #antiquity
