Following last week's monochrome elephant, this is another common type of depiction in Roman mosaics. From the Great Pavement at Woodchester, moving around Orpheus. 1/2

I promise nothing complete; because any human thing supposed to be complete, must for that very reason infallibly be faulty.

Before they could see the planets as anything other than little dots of light in the night sky, how did people imagine them?
More often than not, medieval Europeans turned the planets into neat little guys. 🧵🗃️

Lots of nice insights at the workshop:
Copper mining in Tokugawa-era Japan was not lucrative as the state bought copper at a fixed price. However, mineowners had economic and social privileges connected to mining, and they had to keep mining to retain these privileges.

What a head-scratcher. Appearing in the traditional Mistress of Animals pose (with a fierce split skirt), and holding a bird in each hand, this winged female possesses the head of a Gorgon. Look closely and you’ll see she also has tattoos. Mashup!

It's remarkable how the BBC can bend over backwards to avoid reporting that the UK's growth in the first half of this year is, at 1%, greater than that of any other advanced economy. They even try and obscure that in the graphics.

In insurance speak, "subsidence" is when it gets so hot and dry that the ground shifts and it breaks building foundations. Common in clay-heavy soils that swell when wet and shrink when dry.
One of the ways a heat wave can cause physical building damage.
