Fascinating world of ancient #glass! #Roman dove-shaped vessels were used as perfume bottles. The liquid was sealed inside and the tip of the tail or the beak had to be broken to remove the perfume. This particular example, discovered in a first-century burial at Rovasenda, Italy, is...🧵1/2 🏺

The Roman bridge at Pont-Saint-Martin in the Aosta Valley, northwest Italy. Dating to the 1st century BC, the bridge is one of many impressive Roman monuments in the area. 📸 My own. #RomanSiteSaturday #AostaValley

The timeless beauty of ancient glass! This Roman glass scent bottle is around 2,000 years old, yet its elegant design feels surprisingly modern! British Museum 📷 by me #Archaeology

My photo shows a small Roman scent bottle made of cobalt-blue mould-blown glass in the form of a scallop shell. At the top it has a cylindrical neck with an out-turned rim. There is a thin, curved, handle either side of the neck. The top of each handle is attached to the neck, and the bottom is attached to the top of the scallop shell. Bottle dimensions: height 8.5 cm, diameter 5.2 cm. Dated AD 25-100. It is displayed on a circular, clear perspex (?) stand in a British Museum display case. The bottle was bequeathed to the British Museum by Felix Slade in 1869.

Calling something “illegal” only matters if the law is actually enforced. Mike Johnson and the Supreme Court need to enforce it. No president should be free to ignore the law to punish enemies, reward allies, and enrich himself.

Sometime around 30,000 years before the current era, somewhere in the midst of the land that would become Germany, a human sat in a cave and sculpted a horse. Later, we would call it the Vogelherd horse: the earliest horse sculpture ever found. Original post
