Today is #InternationalDayOfTheGirl #Roman #girls had less access to education, less authority & no place in politics. They were given to marry at age 12. Wealthy girls were educated at home. Only #Vestal Virgins had significant privileges but were held to very rigorous standards

In the 1990s, experts identified pottery from Antonine Wall sites which were made in a north African style over 1,800 years ago 🥘

This includes dishes of a brazier style, a type of cooking more popular in north-west Africa than northern Europe: https://t.co/PpYlyemM8P

Born today in 86AD Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius, who commanded Quintus Lollius Urbicus to invade southern Scotland and then build the Antonine Wall.
Are we the only ones that think he looks like Danny McGrain in the bust below?
