Simple but effective - monochrome mosaic (with bonus hypocaust wall flume). Perfect for a chilly Monday morning 🔥

At the wonderful #Roman villa on Lake Garda.

Series 4 starts today!

Episode 1:
"The Salutatio!"

We're hitting the mean streets of Ancient Rome at an ungodly hour, come rain or shine, in search of patronage or at least the Roman equivalent of a mini muffin..🧁

Fragment of 3rdC A.D. mosaic from the dining hall of a #Roman villa.

Theatrical scene with the charioteer Pelops & his wife to be Hippodamia (cloaked). And maybe her pleading mother.

A relaxing walk by the Canopus for #RomanSiteSaturday 🏛️ at Hadrian’s Villa.
Imagining we’ve been invited to dine by the Emperor🥂

Do excuse my misspeak! The ‘Villa Nile’, indeed 🙄

Isn’t it joyous that the museum display team has made it appear that Mercury is hovering in mid-air, with his winged sandals🪽🪽

Love the ❤️🩷 marble of this 2nd century CE herm. One VERY determined-looking faun, adorned with an ivy crown that you can just about still make out. Slightly jealous of his bone structure too...

📷 us at the Musei Civici Eremitani, Padua

Here is a section of one of the main roads into Cimiez (modern Nice) for #RomanSiteSaturday🏛️
The camber & covered drainage gully (running beneath the paving) ensures the road doesn’t flood 🌧️

Out now! Our 3rd Kidstory episode:

"Live Like a Roman"

Where we explore the exhibits of the excellent Canterbury Roman Museum, aided by some questionable crafting. (Turns out a coat hanger & electrical tape are all you need to make a dodgy strigil...🤷🏻‍♀️)

This magical Mercury’s foot #Roman oil lamp would glow & flutter in mid-air, thanks to the loops used to suspend it from a lamp stand 🪔

Love the aqua blue glaze on this
vase, found in Padua's southern necropolis. You can just about make out a hunting scene depicted across the 5 remaining fragments. 1st Century CE.

A lovely #romansite to start the weekend - the Arena Romana di Padova.

Right next to it is an amazing museum full of ancient artefacts, the Musei Civici Eremitani. There was so much to see that we had to go twice!

💚🤍♥️
