An absolutely fantastic #Roman barge, "De Meern 1", lenght 25m. It was wrecked in a winding tributary of the Rhine around the year 190 AD, possibly due to navigational error. Much of the barge's interior and the captain's personal belongings were preserved in...🧵1/2 📷 me 🏺 #Archaeology
A photo of a well-preserved wooden barge displayed inside a building. The barge is long and narrow, with wooden benches running along its length. It appears weathered. There are some people watching the barge, giving a sense of scale to the barge.

Colourful Roman glass cups decorated with animals from the Roman arena. Made in the AD 200s in Roman glass workshops in the Rhineland, they were found in ‘princely’ graves in Denmark, giving us a glimpse of how far Roman luxury goods travelled. National Museum of Denmark 📷 by me #Archaeology
My photo collage shows four images of Roman short clear-glass cups painted with colourful enamel decoration depicting animals from the Roman Arena. Known as 'circus beakers', fourteen have been found in richly-furnished 'princely' graves in Denmark. The cups are dated AD 200s and were made in Roman glass workshops on the Rhine.

The top two images show two sides of the same cup

Top left: cup painted with a honey-coloured brown lion with shaggy mane viewed in profile facing right, its front and rear legs outstretched as if running at full speed

Top right: a bright green leopard with black spots viewed in profile facing left. It has a long curling tail. It’s front and rear legs are outstretched as if running. Out of shot, there is a blue goat which is being hunted down by the lion and the leopard

Bottom left: a fragmentary glass cup decorated with a light-brown lion with shaggy mane with black nose and a pink tongue

Bottom right: a standing gladiator with knee-length green leggings, cropped tunic top, and holding a blue shield, faces right towards a large brown bear seen in profile, The bear also faces right, as if moving away from the gladiator

Luxury Roman scent bottles made of gold-band mosaic glass. 1st century AD. This opulent glass was made by encasing strips of gold leaf between layers of colourless glass. Beautiful example of the skill of ancient glassmakers some 2,000 years ago! The Met. 📷 by me #Archaeology
My photo shows two Roman gold-band mosaic glass bottles on display at the Met Museum. Made of mosaic patterned translucent cobalt blue, turquoise green, and opaque white glass, together with gold leaf encased in colourless glass. Both bottles have round bodies, flat bases, and cyclindrical necks with horizontal everted rims. The larger bottle on the left is 10.5 cm tall, the smaller bottle on the right is 4.8 cm tall. They are displayed on a clear glass shelf against a light beige background.

According to the museum label: “Gold-band cast glass was a particularly opulent type of early Roman glassware. It combines canes of brightly colored translucent and opaque glass with strips of gold leaf encased between layers of colorless glass. Only a limited number of vessel shapes were made in this way, and some of the most common are small globular or carinated bottles such as these. They were presumably used to store expensive cosmetics and perfumes”.

It’s spooky season, but let’s not make it scary for wildlife! 🎃👻 Fake web decorations can trap and injure our garden wildlife. Stick to sustainable, indoor decorations and let real spiders do the work outdoors! Share these tips & help spread awareness 👇
An orange poster with the warning “Beware! Fake Webs = Real Risks for Wildlife” written at the top in bold, accompanied by a small, friendly-looking spider hanging from a web. The text explains that fake web decorations can trap and harm birds, small mammals, and even toads. A cartoon owl and spider deliver the message, with the spider humorously saying, “This is all natural!” in front of its web, and the owl encouraging people to avoid fake webbing for a spooky yet wildlife-friendly Halloween. The overall tone is playful but highlights an important caution for Halloween decorating.

Artists have always loved to sketch! Sketch of a sparrow from Egypt dated c. 1479–1458 BC. Some 3,500 years ago in Egypt, artists used small flakes of limestone as sketchpads! MMA excavations 1922-23, Deir el-Bahri. 📷 The Met www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti... #FindsFriday #Archaeology
Met Museum photo of an Ancient Egyptian artist’s painting of a swallow on a flake of limestone, dated to the New Kingdom, Dynasty 18, joint reign of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III, c. 1479-1458 BC. 

The sparrow stands in profile with head to the right. It is delicately painted with a pinkish body. The outline and details are highlighted in a reddish/brown pigment. It’s legs, eye, and beak are painted black. Limestone flake dimensions H. 6.6 cm x W. 10.6 cm.

This may have been a practice drawing of the sparrow hieroglyph which was used for words meaning ‘small’, ‘poor’, or ‘bad’.

Egyptian artisans who decorated tombs and temples made practice sketches on flakes of limestone which are known by egyptologists as ostraca (singular: ostracon). Sometimes the drawings were used as a template when transferring an image to the wall of a tomb or a temple. Limestone flakes were readily available for this purpose as by-products of the construction of temples and rock-cut tombs. A number of ostraca were recovered at Deir el-Bahri during the 1922-23 MMA excavations.
