Quality epitath

[Gareth Harney @OptimoPrincipi]

Bring back Roman epitaphs:

'Here lies Tiberius Claudius Secundus. He lived 52 years and took it all with him. Baths, wine, and sex: they might ruin our bodies – but baths, wine, and sex make life worth living!'

Gravestone from Rome, 1st century AD (CIL VI 15258)

Introducing the “DeCasien” naval ram! The first naval ram built using ancient methods in almost 1,500 years. The only naval ram outside the Mediterranean basin. Anything is possible in the Nautical Archaeology program at @TAMU!

In 1951, Adelbert Ames created the mind-boggling ‘Ames Window’. It’s so effective that even when you know how it works you can’t break the illusion
