The Roman emperor Titus only reigned for two years, starting in 79 CE, the year of the Vesuvian disaster. But he had good news the following year: the opening of the Colosseum in Rome. To commemorate it, he released this gold aureus with an African elephant on the reverse. 🏺 1/ 📸 me (see ALT)

Our managing editor Judith is retiring this month and would like everyone to know that she is hanging out her shingle as a freelance editor. In her time with us, she sent 39 of our 78 volumes to press, and typeset and edited 35 of them. She can be found on Bluesky at academic-editor.bsky.social.

Just watched the leadership debate (Canadian federal election). Carney clearly has Singh’s respect, and I think the Liberals, Block and NDP will make a great team working together for our country.

I see one calm and collected intelligent wartime leader on the stage and three volatile overly emotional clods. You figure out which is which. #cdnpoli #debate

The ONLY crisis leader on that stage is Carney. Full stop. Period. I don’t need sound bites. I don’t need fluffy. I don’t need slogans. I want calm and focus and brains in my crisis leader. #cdnpoli #debate

This is one of the earliest depictions of the Colosseum, a bronze sestertius issued by the emperor Titus to commemorate the amphitheater's completion. Only ten are known to exist. You can see the spectators, the statues in the arches, even the quadriga over the entrance. 🏺 #ancientbluesky 1/ 📸 me

For the #IdesofMarch, here's one of the most famous coins to ever be minted: the silver denarius of M. Junius Brutus commemorating the assassination of Julius Caesar. It depicts two daggers, a slave's cap of freedom (pileus), and the inscription EID MAR. 🏺 #ancientbluesky 43-42 CE. #MetMuseum 📸 me

Say hello to my little friend, the infant Bacchus. Bronze, with silvered eyes (he once had irises of stone/glass) and copper, he wears an ivy leaf wreath tied with a ribbon, which falls onto his shoulders. He once held a wine cup in his outstretched hand. 🏺 Roman, 1st c. CE. #GettyVilla 📸 me

This bronze head of a griffin - once an attachment for a cauldron - was discovered to have been stolen from the museum at Olympia in the 1930s. It's been in the #MetMuseum since the 70s, and it's back in Greece for now, but part of a long-term loan to the Met. 🏺 #ancientbluesky 7th c. BCE. 📸 me

This #fresco is a mere fragment, but there’s a real mastery to the way that the ribbon has been rendered. The background is cinnabar, and has mostly blackened over time, with just a few tantalizing patches of red remaining to remind us that it once blazed like fire. 🔥 🏺 #ancientbluesky
