#FrescoFriday

It’s that time of the week to call up your lady pals and get to organising a Bacchic revel of some kind! Take inspiration from the Villa of Mysteries at Pompeii and you’ll definitely be on the right track for a memorable weekend 🍇

#ReliefWednesday

The details of the lower panels of the Ara Pacis are spectacular. The scrolling patterns of the acanthus foliage first catch the eye, but animals are hidden within and the panels are framed by more floral scrollwork and an intricate meander pattern. Beautiful!

#MosaicMonday

The monochromatic mosaic style was popular with great examples in Rome and Ostia. This example comes from the Villa della Pisanella in Boscoreale, near Pompeii. A stork and snake appear together against the plain white background but are they fated to conflict?

Maps are fabulous for coming to grips with ancient places and for aiding the visualisation. Rome’s evolution from dwellings on hills to a monumental city that was the centre of Mediterranean politics is aptly conveyed through maps. What maps of the ancient world do you love? 🏺AncientBluesky

On Monday kicks off the second Otago University - Consórcio de Mérida excavation of "something Roman we hope." My team includes 14 Kiwi-ish volunteers and some local pros, so this project is going to be awesome. I'll post here occasionally because pictures of archaeology are cool. ClassicsBlueSky 🏺

#FrescoFriday

The weekend is nearly here and that means (hopefully!) gathering together with loved ones and sharing a meal or a feast. Watch out for the hare though, they are already tucking into the delicious grapes 🍇
