Two roman altars found near Edinburgh and related to the cult of Mithras are going to be displayed for the first time. One of the altars, dedicated to the god Sol, had holes so it could be illuminated from within, and don't tell me this is not the most rpg thing ever.
Roman altar with the face of the sun god Sol. It also includes carvings of the four seasons. Found in Inveresk in East Lothian, dating to about 140AD. It was designed so that light shone from behind, making the god's face and crown appear to glow in the darkness. 
This altar, along another one, were excavated in 2010 and are the only examples of their kind ever found in Scotland. They were set up by a Roman centurion whose name was written in short form as G CAS FLA, likely meaning Gaius Cassius Flavianus.

Get this game. It's hugely underrated. Some people are upset that it's an action-RTS and not Heavy Metal Zelda. Blame EA's marketing for that, and maybe get over it after 17 years?

An image from a First Person game, meaning you are seeing the world through the character you are playings eyes. Consequently you can only see their hands, they are holding a gun which they are currently firing. This seems to have hit as a large white X appears over a spurt of blood coming from something. The surroundings seem to be a jungle compound with a wooden watch tower to the right, chain link fences, sandbags making areas for people to hide behind. All around there are are big green trees both in the compound itself and in the background.

An enchanting Minoan jug made by a master potter some 3,500 years ago! Marine style decoration brings an underwater world to life with Nautili swimming among rocks, coral, and seaweed 🐚 🌊 🪸 The relief seashells add another dimension to the design! Heraklion Archaeological Museum📷 me #Archaeology
My photo shows a Minoan clay jug known as the Poros Ewer. The jug has a round body which tapers down to a slender circular foot. It has a single curved handle ornamented with applied relief seashells along the handle length. The neck has a trefoil (three-lobed) mouth. The jug has a yellow slip background with black hand-painted decoration which is an exquisite example of the mature Minoan ‘Marine Style’. The body is covered with dense painted and relief decoration depicting an underwater seascape. The main decorative theme is the floating nautilus (cephalopod with a smooth coiled spiral shell from which many curled tentacles protrude). Fifteen nautiluses are depicted around the body of the jug. They swim singly or in pairs in a seascape indicated by seaweed, coral, sea urchins, and three-lobed rocks in relief (meaning the rocks are raised from the surface of the vessel). In the background a scale-like pattern suggests ripples on the sun-dappled sea floor. 
Mended and restored. Maximum height: 26.2 cm. Rim diameter 11.6 cm. The jug was excavated in 1986 in the Neopalatial cemetery of rock-cut cave tombs excavated south of the port settlement at Poros, a suburb of modern-day Heraklion. Dated 1500-1450 BC. On display at Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Crete.
