@pete_savin Good job, Pete. Wouldn't have been possible to see if the photo was too grainy.

@Pottedhistory @VindolandaTrust Not the real thing, but a costrel is depicted on this funerary inscription (RIB 682) now in the Yorkshire Museum. https://t.co/rawScDrwpo

@DavidPetts1 @DrJEBall Found in Rome in 1999 in the Piazza Euclide near a fountain of Anna Perenna. (L'Année Epigraphique 2010, 216)

@SoVeryBritish Surprised no one has yet mentioned Morris dancing.

@athertoncharvat @ajmb1 More information about this inscribed pot can be found on Roman Inscriptions of Britain Online https://t.co/nCQiWulEBS

Does anyone know where RIB 1984 currently is? It's the Castlesteads altar dedicated to IOM&genius loci. We're hunting for a colour image for RIB Online. Thank you!

@wallcurator @TWAMmuseums The dentist who owned the chair was probably less favorably impressed with it.

Hi, @ajdaubney. Can you please DM me? The email addy I have for you is no longer working. Thanks!

@DocCrom @EquipmentRoman A legionary of legio VIII Augusta, Dubitatus was a long way from his home base at Argentoratum (modern Strasbourg). A vexillatio from leg. VIII was dispatched to Britannia during Hadrian's reign, which was likely when his shield ended up in the Tyne. https://t.co/D0wz7cK9iQ

@TrimontiumTrust 🤨One day this urban legend will die, but apparently not quite yet. https://t.co/CTwXpye7hm

[Scott Vanderbilt @Sarcanon]

@pete_savin @archae_delle Oh, there are just a few tasters up at the moment. The rest of RIB II will start coming out in tranches starting in the new year, and I'm aiming to complete the roll-out by summer.

[Scott Vanderbilt @Sarcanon]

@pete_savin Presumably no reading material either?

[Scott Vanderbilt @Sarcanon]

A really insightful analysis of a tombstone found in the northernmost reaches of the Roman empire by a Palmyrene man for his British freedwoman wife and what it can tell mobility and the complex interactions of a multilingual society.

[LatinNow @LatinNowERC]

Queenie from South Shields had a short life but is having a long after-life. Read about what her fascinating tombstone tells us about life and languages in the Roman world and how much lies tantalisingly out of reach. @classicsforall @ClassicsNorth
