For a dog of such apparently modest intellect, we sometimes feel he knows exactly what we're thinking. #SundayHuxley

Ohh! 🤗 @romanroads.bsky.social have just landed on BlueSky! Bung them a follow. We can't vouch for the quality of their content, but we can guarantee one thing...

@gettymuseum.bsky.social - we have questions.

A #Roman ribbed glass bowl, in a pale shade of bluey-green. It is in beautiful condition despite being about 2000 years old; this type of glass vessel was very popular in the early Imperial period. AncientBlueSky #Archaeology #RomanArchaeology

Here's us hanging out in some pretty esteemed company here... 😎 www.thetimes.com/travel/desti...

Things you don't want to hear from your volunteer on a Wednesday afternoon: "I washed your computer and now it won't turn on." 😱

Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant just told BBC Radio 4 that he used to explore "Neolithic hill forts". Good luck with that, Robert. 😳

Spot the difference: John the Baptist from the Hours of Joanna I of Castile and our Community Engagement Officer remembering how many emails he has to respond to

We don't know why, but we can't help thinking this bird is on its way to a nightclub. We also think it might have taken something. 😬 #MosaicMonday

Someone wants to go to the garden and play with his ball, but it's raining outside. #SundayHuxley

Looks like a great exhibition but, please can we all stop calling artefacts "treasure"? It unhelpfully prioritizes financial value over historic value. Thanks. We're not pirates. We don't even like parrots. www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/whatson/muse...

In case you missed it earlier this week, read the lastest @uor-research.bsky.social blog to learn all about how REMADE is tracing rebellion during the Crisis of the 3rd century in the chemistry of Roman radiate coins! 🪙 rdg.ac/4notWE9 #FindsFriday #Archaeology #AncientSky

Quick question: Would you buy this mug (for yourself or a loved one) if you saw it in our museum shop?

My copy of @folklorepod.bsky.social (Mark Norman)　Britain's Folklore Year arrived today

Yep. Absolutely cockahoop at the announcement of the National Gallery's Project "Domani", funded by two cash pledges, each of £150,000,000. Just putting it out there that we'd be happy with just one pledge of £150,000,000. If that helps 👍🤞. www.nationalgallery.org.uk/about-us/pro...

GUTTED to be saying goodbye to volunteer Mia today. 😭 She's off to study History @exeter.ac.uk, after which we have no doubt she will take over the world. Good Luck Mia!! 🤗 @uoearchhist.bsky.social

We like to think this is us and @romanpalace.bsky.social in another life. 🦉 🦉

In 1995 a #Roman gold ring with reverse engraving was found @romanpalace.bsky.social West #Sussex The text read TI CLAUDI CATUARI It originally belonged to Tiberius Claudius Catuarus, a Briton (or Gaul) made a Roman citizen by the emperor Claudius himself 📷 April 2024 #FindsFriday

We found this archive photo and our "caption-this-o-meter" has exploded.

A massive thank you to @chrischivers.bsky.social and Co were back in action to complete the cover for the glass furnace and it’s not just any old cover, “tis a thing of true brillance! #CuratorRob is probably going to want to move in 😬

Hey everybody! We have a new favourite follower! 😍

Please send help. @wadejones90.bsky.social has lost his mind. Rockbourne Roman Villa is fabulous. We will fight anyone who disagrees.

Hey, @themerl.bsky.social, fancy a game of football?

Someone (@experimentalkearns.bsky.social, since you ask) made a 3D model of our glass furnace and we have never been so happy. 🤩🤩 poly.cam/capture/F2C4...

Glass furnace alert! 🔥🍷 We did it! We finished building our glass furnace @butserancientfarm.co.uk!! And what a handsome creature it is too. 😍 We can't wait to fire it... In other news, if anyone has a *normal* curator and would like to swap, please DM us.

Seems that some folk think that tagging us in a post means we'll automatically repost them. 👍

Since everyon's talking about #King&Conqueror, we have some news.... Love it or loathe it, keep your eyes peeled in episode two for our cameo appearance when Harold stays in the ruins of the Palace on his way to Bosham. 🤩

Glass Furnace action!! 🔥🍷 We're nearly there! The Roman glass furnace we're building @butserancientfarm.co.uk is nearly complete. Just need to create the roof and give him/her a name. And maybe remind #CuratorRob that #StoneHenge isn't part of the brief. 🙄😳
