Why, yes, my dog Maya *is* going to be a calendar girl. It's being produced by the popular auto repair shop in my neighborhood where she goes every day to get treats. The best doggy customers get featured. It's not like I have glamor shots of my #dog, though ... 😁

Three of the finest "Giants'Graves" (collective graves from the Bronze Age) located in North East Sardinia. Coddu Vecchiu, near Arzachena Li Mizzani, near Palau. Su Mont'e S'Abe, near Olbia. #TombTuesday 📸 my own, taken in 2023.

The ‘Shell Mosaic’ from Verulamium - the third largest town in Roman Britain which is situated close to modern St. Albans. The mosaic is one of 49 discovered during excavations of the site and dates to around 150 AD. The mosaic is on display at Verulamium Museum. #MosaicMonday

An Anglo-Saxon helmet was unearthed from Benty Grange barrow, Derbyshire, by archaeologist Thomas Bateman #OTD in 1848. Made c.650, the iron bands originally secured horn plates, and it bears both pagan and Christian motifs. 📸Museums Sheffield

🪙 2 rare Anglo-Saxon pennies, likely looted or used to pay Viking forces to leave England, have been found in Denmark. The ‘Lamb of God’ coins were minted by Æthelred, seemingly as part of his attempts to ward off Viking raids, both spiritually and financially. 📰 open.substack.com/pub/historyh...

“A chance discovery of a broken bronze cup in Spain has revealed a 1,900-year-old depiction of Hadrian's Wall and forts in England, a new study reports. The multicolored vessel was likely crafted as a memento of a soldier's time defending the frontiers of the Roman Empire, the study authors said.”

A personal favourite for my first #MosaicMonday on Bluesky: late Roman mosaic with pastoral Anubis guarding the Egyptian wildlife (a possible Sphinx included). City Museum, Rimini. 📸 my own.

For #MosaicMonday the flooded crypt of the Basilica di San Francesco in #Ravenna. The Basilica dates to the 10th century and was built on a 5th century church. Due to Ravenna’s marshland and the subsidence of the ground's surface the crypt is permanently submerged by ... 🧵1/2 🏺 📷 Nicola Strocci

The colours of Italian liberation spotted in the frescoes of #Pompeii 🇮🇹 Wishing all Italians a very happy #FestaDellaLiberazione

Four beautiful pieces of 7th century gold & garnet jewellery, found in #NorthYorkshire and #Derbyshire, now in Weston Park Museum, #Sheffield. The idea that the age was 'dark', is bemusing - apart from in the sense that it isn't illuminated by many written sources. #FindsFriday #AngloSaxon 📷 mine

I hope some clingy types in music fandoms can be used safely as a glue for assembling miniatures, because Attak has got nothing on them. Once again: I see concerts for the music and see friends, not to date complete strangers who get into delusional mode over a like / neutral public reply online.

Dear self-appointed "head" of class. Since you ignored my birthday in the class group, I can now feel free to skip your dire, dull, expensive class reunion dinner in favour of a far more exciting -and cheaper- synthwave festival. So, with all my heart, thank you for the slight.

The Vale of York Cup - Part of a 10th century hoard discovered by two metal-detectorists in a field between York and Harrogate in 2007. The Viking Age hoard is now part of the collections at the Yorkshire Museum in York. 📸 My own. #FindsFriday #YorkshireMuseum

Today we will be mainly posting pictures of artefacts that look like sweets. 🍬🍫

A 3,200 year-old painted scene of a lion and a gazelle playing a board game, probably senet. From an ancient Egyptian illustrated papyrus showing animals taking on human roles in comic situations where they act against their natural instincts. 📷 British Museum #Archaeology

Anglo-Saxon? 1080? Maybe not but still a fantastic discovery Anglo-Saxon church found under place of worship www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
