For this #MosaicMonday, the dolphins and cantharus at Bradford on Avon some years ago; now covered over. Apologies for oblique pic. Any blurring is because of the excitement of seeing the excavation.😉🐬 1/3

An oblique view of a colourful Roman mosaic in a straight-sided apse. In the centre is a cantharus/crater with its base to the right and mouth to the left in this photo. It is flanked by dolphins whose heads point towards the corners of the apse and whose tails are on level with the cantharus/crater handle.

🏛️ Not far from Ancient Corinth is the much-overlooked and wonderful site of Ancient Sykion, north Peloponnese, Greece. Among other things, it is the birthplace of the famous sculptor Lyssipos. Read more about this wonderful site here: www.frsthand.com/story/sikyon... 📷 me #AncientBluesky

Ever since I was a 3D Design student back in the 1970s I've made my own tools and the 2nd & 3rd of these date back to those days. ⚱️🏺 But I'm still doing it. The rouletting wheel on the left was made 5 minutes ago, for a Roman pottery project that I'm working on. #Archaeology #pottery #AncientBluesky

Faccia di bronzo. For #SpoliaSunday, Alexander VII despoiled the church of S. Adriano al Foro, once the #Senate, of its #bronze doors in 1660, to give the #Lateran basilica the prestige of ancient power, but covered in his family symbols. #AncientBluesky 🏺

ANCIENT BRONZE DOOR FROM THE CURIA JULIA REUSED AT ST JOHN LATERAN A steep upward perspective looking along one open leaf of a massive bronze door with a pale green patina, with a portion of the ceiling visible at the top right. Although this is an ancient Roman door of the Senate, which may date to the time of Domitian based on a semi-melted coin found within the metal, prominent elements of the decoration seen here date to the C17. When Pope Alexander VII transferred the doors to the Lateran basilica, they were too small for the portal. Francesco Borromini cast bronze extensions for the perimeters, incorporating the Chigi della Rovere armorial bearings. The protruding acorns and thick borders refer to the oak tree on his crest, while the bronze stars rising along the flat bands are also from the papal arms. These ornate Baroque additions act as an outer frame around the flat ancient bronze panels, which are themselves bordered by original Roman mouldings featuring a classical Lesbian kymation. This brazen reuse proclaimed the Church as heir to the ancient empire, and the Chigi pope as the bearer of this inherited power.

A #Roman cheese press, found at Balmuildy fort on the #AntonineWall (Scotland).

The cheese was put in the press & pressed down by a weight, forcing out any moisture through the holes. The resulting cheeses would have the concentric circle pattern from the press 🧀 #Archaeology #AncientBlueSky

A YouTube subscriber asked me to talk about Upper & Lower Macedonia, landscape & natural resources. So this is mostly me riffing w/ a map. I spared everybody the (plethora) of photos taken, tooling around northern Greece in a rental car. 😁 #AncientBlueSky #ClassicsBlueSky #BlueSkyAncient

Kudos to Oxford's Bodleian Library, for putting the Oxyrhynchus papyri online with expansive licenses permitting quick image-use. 🎉😍

They also automated it, so you can easily obtain high-resolution files.

For #SarcophagusSaturday, a massive terracotta sarcophagus from Archaic Klazomenai. These immense tubs were sunk into the earth with only their gabled lids showing. Why paint the sides if they were buried? To dazzle the community during the funeral procession. #AncientBluesky 🏺

PAINTED TERRACOTTA SARCOPHAGUS FROM KLAZOMENAI, 520-480 BCE. BRITISH MUSEUM A massive painted terracotta sarcophagus displayed with its gabled lid suspended on a white metal frame above the main rectangular body. A glass panel covers the opening of the tub. The heavy terracotta construction features painted decoration on its exterior and interior rims. While these immense objects were ultimately sunk deep into the earth of Archaic Ionia with only their heavy gabled roofs visible, the exterior walls were painted to be seen during the ekphora or grand funeral procession and the public viewing of the deceased before burial. The visible exterior shows geometric patterns and broad bands of reddish and dark brown slip against the light clay background.
