Artefact of the day. Memorial to the dwarf flute player Myropnous found on the Via Appia, Rome. The deceased, likely a servant, is seen holding a pair of Auloi which played a very important part in public life, religious ceremonies & the theatre. #Roman #ancientrome #sculpture

'I have always resisted the idea that mosaics, especially in places like Britain, were made “off the peg” out of “pattern books” .... But this does look like a possible case' (@wmarybeard) https://t.co/VoVkyW6vMb

"This is certainly the most exciting Roman mosaic discovery in the UK in the last century."
