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 🏺

It's absolutely wild that the thing that hurts most now after my fall off my bicycle is my core. Asked a doctor friend and he said yeah, those muscles instinctively tighten during falls etc. so basically my core is sore from one second of "waaagh! The ground!"

Another bit is that the vast bulk of organic chemical reactions are in the 1 to 10 EV range or about 1,250 (infrared) down to 125 nm (extreme ultraviolet) I suspect that life can only reasonably react with the electromagnetic spectrum bounded by the organic chemistry that makes it up.

broader spectrum than only visible, 90% of life lives underground "Some animals see infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) light, which humans can’t see. Other animals seem to see time pass more slowly than others, likely providing them with a survival advantage." www.allaboutvision.com/eye-care/pet...

If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent

These fragments from a Roman villa in Spain are not from a mosaic but from a fresco. If you look closely you’ll see a grid of lines, many following the contour of the figures, much as tesserae do on mosaics. This trompe-l’oeil technique simulates mosaics. 1/ 🏺 1st-2nd c. Museo de Málaga 📸 me

Fragment of a fresco depicting part of a human face, mostly the eyes. Thin lines form a grid pattern, simulating the edges of tesserae.

Fresco fragment showing a naked torso of a woman, her legs and pubic area covered in a red himation (cloak). Her right hand carries a basket laden with fruit, which look like giant globes of grapes. Grapevine leaves appear in the background. A Dionysian scene. The faux tesserae grid lines follow the curves of the body.

Fresco fragment depicting some sort of half-human creature with wild hair and bare torso, gesturing upwards with his right hand and holding a branched stick with his left. The faux tesserae grid lines follow the curves of his garment and body.

Fresco fragment with the torso of perhaps a god with golden skin, a red himation flowing outwards and partially covering his or her legs. Perhaps Dionysos?

Fun fact: a medieval castle is being built right now! Guédelon Castle (near Treigny, France) is an experimental archaeology project that began in 1997 aiming to build a 13th century castle from scratch, using only period techniques. It's still ongoing, and everything is made on-site, even the bread!

Guédelon Castle as it was in 2017. Big part of the walls has been built since then, and they are working on the roofing of the towers now.

Master builders working on a newly made gothic style window.

Mural paintings being added to the castle's Great Hall in 2012. They are inspired by 13th century murals in the nearby church of Moutiers-en-Puisaye.

Master builders installing one of the carved stones. Being experimental archaeology, the workers are not only using period materials, tools and techniques, but also are clothed accordingly.
