This wonderful Ancient Greek gold coin dates from late 5th-century BCE.
It was issued by the city of Akragas, today’s Agrigento, in Sicily.
The coin features a crab on the reverse, and an eagle standing on a rock, devouring a snake.These symbols were common designs on the coinage of Akragas.

14.5 cm in diameter, this #Roman Iron flask was found at #Trimontium in the #ScottishBorders . It dates to AD140-180 & is a very rare example of a metal #flask from this period. This would have been issued to a soldier who was stationed at the fort over 1,800 years ago.

✨Augustus in colour✨
The Prima Porta Augustus is one of the most famous sculptures of ancient Rome. Earlier depictions of the sculpture noted the remnants of colour but the craze for cleaned statuary meant much detail was lost to the casual gaze.
