A #Roman rock crystal ring decorated with a crescent and stars inlaid with gold foil - it looks like an emoji 🤩, but for the Romans this wasn’t just decoration. The motif was associated with death: crescent and stars were symbols for eternity and afterlife.

Crossing Crawford's conceptual divide: monumental linear earthworks in later prehistoric and early medieval Britain
In its early decades, Antiquity regularly featured the subject of linear earthworks that criss-cross the British landscape. Subsequently, however, discussion has been largely relegated to period-specific and local journals. As a result, interpretations of these imposing but often poorly dated earthworks have been drawn in the contrasting research traditions of later prehistory and the early medieval period. Here, the authors propose a comparative dialogue as a means for reinterpreting these landscape features, and as a lens through which to explore social complexity. Combined with advances in archaeometrical dating, this new approach promises to reinvigorate the study of some of Britain's largest archaeological monuments.

I do think we have now reached that tipping point where to still be clinging on to the Brexit wreckage makes you look ideologically insane, pathologically ignorant or corrupt.

I'm sickened by the level of anti-doctor feeling levelled by govt, sections of the press, and by a portion of the public.
Medics are not greedy - they're intelligent people with options. They want to help people; they just need a wage they can live on.
2020 is clearly a distant memory.
For shame.
