Happy Year of the Snake! 🐍 Antiquity's fascination with snakes arises from myths and religious practices. In Egypt, they symbolized power and protection. In Greece, they were sacred to Asclepius and wrapped around his staff. Romans saw them as symbols of renewal and immortality.

Pottery vessel with amber beads found at Sortekærs Mose in Denmark. Amber was collected throughout Neolithic with the largest amounts found in Jutland. In the Early Neolithic period there were the biggest finds, often deposited as sacrifices in lakes and bogs. #FindsFriday

We all need a timeline cleanse right now... An adorable #Greek rhyton in the shape of a cow's head. Vessels such as this one were used in drinking parties. Since they didn't have a base, the content had to be consumed before the vessel could be put down Dating ca. 460 BC 📷Metropolitan Museum 🏺

In September I took this photo of the Carafa Chapel in Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome, with late 15th-century frescoes (1488–1493) by Filippino Lippi. The church was built directly over (‘sopra’ in Italian) of a temple dedicated to Isis, not Minerva. #FrescoFriday #skystorians #art

Children loved to play with toys in #Roman times too: some 1,800 years ago, a child in Cologne was buried with a terracotta with a rider on wheels. It was certainly a much-loved which the child was also supposed to play with in the afterlife. 📷 Römisch-Germanisches Museum Köln 🏺 AncientBluesky

Centuries ago, many astronomical books included moving parts to help readers interpret the world around them. This biscuit recreates a diagram from Sacrobosco’s ‘De Sphaera’ (c.1550). It could be used to calculate the changing length of daylight hours through the year. 🍪

Small relief depicting the Genii Cucullati (the Hooded Spirits) which was found in one of the vicus buildings at Housesteads Roman Fort on Hadrian’s Wall. The relief was probably a family shrine, and is on display in the site museum. 📸 My own. #ReliefWednesday #RomanBritain
