@partialhistorians.bsky.socialMask of Jupiter ~ thought to have been originally and architectural feature. Certainly he conveys a stern expression suggestive of a potential thunderous temper!
The date for this artefact is listed as between C1st–C3rd CE. From the MAN Firenze; seen at the Melbourne Museum.
@sophieperinot.bsky.socialThe month of October ALWAYS reminds me never to become too certain or too smug about what I "know to be true" in history . . . . After all the date of the destruction of Pompeii has moved several times IN MY LIFETIME.

@resolutevox.bsky.socialSyracuse wasn't invincible, but it took Rome nearly two years and a long siege to prove it. The city fell not to a clever weapon, but to a moment of carelessness during a celebration, when Roman soldiers found a poorly guarded section of the wall. #history #ancientrome
@resolutevox.bsky.socialCaesar boxed in Pompey's army near Dyrrhachium with trenches and earthworks, aiming to starve him out. A patient siege in 48 BC. #history #ancientrome

@resolutevox.bsky.socialArchimedes of Syracuse turned his city into an engineering marvel. While known for geometry and physics, his innovations in levers and flotation devices also defended Syracuse during the Punic Wars, proving peacetime ideas can shape wartime reality. #history #science #ancientrome
@partialhistorians.bsky.socialMissing his nose, but that distinctive hair style gives Augustus away. In this sculpture from the Museo Archeologico Nazionale Firenze visiting the Melbourne Museum, Augustus sports a laurel wreath as well!
@pastbriefly.bsky.socialCaesar was warned. He went anyway.
15 March 44 BCE: warnings and rumors of a plot had reached him, yet he left for the Senate at the Theatre of Pompey. The sources never fully say why.

@partialhistorians.bsky.socialThis marble anemoscope was used to indicate the direction of the wind. The names of the winds and their personifications in the act of blowing (hot?) air are engraved on the disc. It's thought to date from the C5th CE and can be found today in the Parco Archeologica del Celio, Rome.

@blackdragontavern.bsky.socialTwo thousand years before online gaming lobbies, ancient Greek and Roman soldiers were putting trash talk on their ammo.
Surviving cast lead sling bullets carry crude insults and taunts. One roughly reads: "Learn your lesson."
Stay bloodthirsty. 🪨🤬
