@josephinequinn.bsky.social Hi Professor, I was contacted by someone who some objects (passed down through their family) which came from Tunisia and have what looks like a Punic script. What's the best course of action to have the inscriptions translated/dated etc?

✨Interview with Dr Emma Southon✨ We sat down with Dr Emma Southon to learn more about slavery in the ancient Roman world. It was more complex and more horrifying than you may imagine.

Antinous, the great love of the emperor Hadrian represented in a relief as the god Silvanus. He is crowned with a pine branch, holds a sickle and is accompanied by a dog. The Greek inscription reveals the artist as Antonianos of Aphrodisia. #ancientrome

Stele for Lucios Aelios Melitinos (2nd century AD). The wording tells us he died aged 13 months and 9 days and hopes others are spared the loss of their children. It also warns against anyone violating the tomb. #ancientrome

A terracotta statuette found in an Etruscan tomb and dated to the second half of the 7th century BC. The figure is well dressed and the hand out could be to receive an offering. It's thought this related to some form of ancestor worship. #etruscan #ancienthistory #ancientrome

✨ Laocoön and His Sons✨ Laocoön was a Trojan priest, but the tale that led to his sons being killed by serpents exists in many variants. What remains constant is the depiction of a father’s grief even if his fate too is to die from serpent venom. #ReliefWednesday

The statue of Laocoön and His Sons was excavated in Rome in 1506 and put on public display in the Museo Pio-Clementino in the Vatican Museums. The sculpture group depicts the Trojan priest Laocoön and his sons Antiphantes and Thymbraeus being attacked by sea serpents. The date of the statue is mot certain with dates posited from 200 BCE to the 70s CE.
