Today we're brooche-ing the subject of #RomanJewellery...

We'll be here all week 🥁

#DidYouKnow brooches were the main way of pinning clothing together (Roman garb was notoriously breezy!) Some would have looked like safety pins, but these examples are far more decorative. 1/2

The ruins of the #Roman bath-house at #Chesters fort (#HadriansWall), one of the best preserved examples from #RomanBritain - hopefully it improved the lives of the soldiers stationed there! #RomanFortThursday

Stunning position of the Italic-Roman sanctuary of Hercules Curino high above Sulmona #Abruzzo

A find from the #Roman fort of Segedunum (#HadriansWall) which illustrates the flexible nature of military religion - a miniature portable shrine, in which a votive figurine of your deity of choice could be carried - in this case, probably Mercury #RomanFortThursday

A huge loss for Roman archaeology.

[Stephen Kay @stephenjohnkay]

Lost for words. Simon Keay has been a huge influence on me. A brilliant scholar, a generous, kind and passionate man. Learnt of his passing this morning as I was at Portus pursuing our research @the_bsr @sotonarch @parcostiantica. Will be greatly missed. Cheers boss x

#MuseumsUnlocked food: this 1700-year-old unbroken chicken egg, was found in a pit in the #Roman settlement at Aylesbury (England). It was found in a basket alongside 3 other eggs (all broken), & was probably part of a religious offering deposited in the pit.

A #Roman #mosaic uncovered in Uzès (France), probably the ancient city of Utecia, an early-occupied Gallo-Roman settlement, probably on the site of an oppidum. The mosaic dates to the C1st AD & depicts several birds (eagle, owl, duck) & a fawn.
