One of several amazing frescoes in an underground chamber in Santa Maria in Stelle (near Verona). Originally a nymphaeum, the space was converted to a space for Christian teaching in the 5th c.

Would love your opinions on this object. First medallion shows Serapis but second very damaged medallion. Guidebook identifies it as the lightning bolts of Jupiter but it looks serpentine to me. What do you think? Relief plate from Mainz (Landesmuseum S281), c.200-250 CE 🏺 AncientBlueSky

Relief plate with two medallions: the first shows Serapis with modius on head. In the second very damaged medallion, you can see a twisted rod or forked tail. Museum interpretation identifies it as the lightning bolts of Jupiter Fulminator.

"Altıntepe" means "golden hill" in Turkish. Considering all the finds from that site I have an idea why this tumulus was named such. ✨✨✨ How many of such pieces had been found before the modern excavations, traded or recycled, and had been solely regarded as "gold"?🏺

Late Neolithic dagger from Hindsgavl, dating around 1,800BC. In the Scandinavin late Neolithic period, flint objects often imitate items made from metal, e.g. daggers. Because of their shape, daggers such as this are called Fischschwanzdolche (fishtail daggers) in German. 1/2 🏺 #archaeology

Not that I believe in the magical properties of stones, but now that I found some beautiful pieces of flint... In ancient Greece it was used as an amulet against negative/evil energies, and nightmares.
