PhD Candidate Ivan Maiorov shares some more images from his Agamemnon armor. It looks a bit different from what we saw in the box office this summer!

But even a paterfamilias like M. Aurelius Sabinus, whose inscription is walled into a hotel bar on via Giulia, could be tempted back into service as an "EVOK" (NB not an Ewok) by the double pay and comfortable emoluments. #AncientBluesky 🏺

FUNERARY INSCRIPTION FOR AN EVOCATUS, C3 CE. VIA GIULIA

A sharply preserved marble funerary panel set into a wall. The Latin text translates to: "To the departed shades. For Marcus Aurelius Sabinus, an evocatus (recalled veteran), who lived 56 years, 4 months, and 8 days. Aurelius Crispinus, an evocatus and his brother, and Marcus Aurelius Sabinus, his stepson, and the Aurelii Sabinianus and Crispinus, his grandsons, and Aurelia Maxima, his sister, and Aurelius Marcianus, his foster child, his heirs, made this." In striking contrast to Ingenuus, Sabinus was a paterfamilias leading a large multigenerational family. The ubiquitous Aurelius name suggests a date just after the 212 CE universal grant of citizenship. The archaic K in "EVOK" visually elevates the title, linking this soldier to the ancient, honourable Republican tradition of elite recalled veterans. The left edge was digitally restored to remove a modern barrier.

Special K. For #EpigraphyTuesday, we look at two instances of the archaic K in the word EVOKATVS, normally EVOCATVS, recalled veterans who were "called out" of retirement to re-enlist, with many privileges for doing so. This one, Ingenuus, was a career soldier. #AncientBluesky 🏺

FUNERARY MONUMENT FOR AN EVOCATUS, 200-250 CE. CASINO DELL'AURORA LUDOVISI

A weathered marble funerary altar standing outdoors, surrounded by the fallen leaves of autumn. The front face features a carved relief of a standing Roman soldier wearing a heavy military cloak and proudly holding the baton of his rank. Below is a Latin inscription which translates to: "To the departed shades. For Quintus Vetius Ingenuus, veteran of the Third Praetorian Cohort, from the province of Lower Germany. Marcus, an evocatus (recalled veteran), his heir and fellow citizen, made this for a well-deserving man." Unlike many Roman epitaphs, Ingenuus's sole heir and dedicator is a fellow soldier and countryman. This suggests a life wholly dedicated to military service, devoid of a traditional family structure. According to epigraphic analysis, the monument dates to the first half of the third century CE.

Loved making this video for Corbridge Roman site with Frances McIntosh, English Heritage Collections Curator for Hadrian’s Wall. 🏺 This head pot, made by local potters at Corbridge has some really interesting features. #Archaeology #AncientBluesky vimeo.com/708232125/eb...

Beware of the dog!

The Cave Canem entranceway from #Pompeii is such a timeless #Roman mosaic; the dog still symbolically protects his owner's house, nearly 2000 years after it was destroyed when Mt Vesuvius erupted in AD 79 🐶 #Archaeology #MosaicMonday #AncientBlueSky
