Does this papyrus letter suggest some military corruption in #Roman Egypt? Written in AD 37 by a scribe, it assures the recipient that the scribe does not know of anyone in his village being subject to extortion by a soldier or his agents - so, enquiries were being made..? AncientBlueSky

Understand where Gabbott as paleontologist & Zalasiewicz as geologist are coming from - but understanding #fossils as remains or traces of living organisms ... wouldn't #artifact be a more suitable term here? 🏺🤔 www.theguardian.com/science/2025... by @dpcarrington.bsky.social via @theguardian.com

Ever bought a designer leather bag with a logo stamped into it? Or maybe you've admired embossed patterns on belts or wallets? Over 1200 years ago, the Anglo-Saxons did the same thing—with a bit more beastly flair!
