For #ReliefWednesday, a new digital reconstruction of this 2nd c. AD Dionysian relief as it might have looked in antiquity. All but one of the faces had to be restored. Thanks to @roamintheempire for the original image and @DrNWillburger! #museicapitolini #polychromy 1/

@ColorsAndStones @mv_arte Thank you for the beautiful pyxis and the article, @ColorsAndStones!

Luxury and elegance of the Classical period #AncientGreece

This marble pyxis with a delicate floral motif painted with purple & bright yellow, with traces of gold leaf on the lid, could be used to store jewelry or cosmetics.
Dated to 5th C BCE; in @museumsmoments

Hace unos días tuve el placer de entrevistar a @GZuchtriegel, Director General de Pompeya @pompeii_sites, sobre su llegada al yacimiento y los planes futuros para garantizar la conservación del sitio. Os lo contamos en @LaVanguardia @historiayvida #roma

Tras las piezas arqueológicas que contemplamos, hubo en su época artesanos y/o artistas encargados de su diseño y elaboración.

Pueden resultar esquivos, pero a veces perviven evidencias, como estos recipientes con pigmentos hallados en Pompeya.

One-third of the ancient city of Pompeii still remains completely buried under the volcanic material that surged down the slopes of Vesuvius in AD 79. @pompei79 #archeology #arthistory #history #Pompeii https://t.co/qkwPzbrPfS

[Dr Sophie Hay @pompei79]

Delighted that the short piece I wrote for @artandobject about the unexcavated areas of #Pompeii and the recent revival of excavations at their edges has been published today. @pompeii_sites

My most difficult creative challenge, I present the #polychrome version of this ca. 50 AD Roman funerary relief, showing the deceased's pillow shop. *Many* thanks to @DrNWillburger for all her time and help on research and for the original image! #Uffizi #polychromy 1/

[Dr Sophie Hay @pompei79]

Huge if true.
Director of Herculaneum, Francesco Sirano, re-examines the weapons & possessions associated with the skeleton of the “soldier” found on the beach at Herculaneum in the 1980s & thinks he may have been a navy officer in the rescue mission commanded by Pliny the Elder.

For #FrescoFriday painted sarcophagus from #Cyprus ~400 BCE, encaustic on marble.
The border of a lid is decorated with a repeating sequence of myrtle & flower branches. In the pediment scene with the conical funerary monument (tymbos), 2 women on the right, 2 men on the left.

[Dr Sophie Hay @pompei79]

Exhilarated to have just stumbled across this rare and glorious depiction of a woman in the act of writing in a fresco from Herculaneum.
The actor looks on a little disapprovingly but the expression on the face of the theatrical mask says it all. Just wonderful. #FrescoFriday

@ColorsAndStones Yes, the sessions have been recorded and will be available soon!

[Dr Carla Ardis @Carla_Ardis]

Since I first read Euripides's tragedy, #Medea has been one of my favourite ancient #heroines. This fresco from Herculaneum, supposedly after an ancient Greek original by Timomachus, while portraying her meditating the slaying of her children, conveys as well her inner turmoils.

@robertofabbrini @Svartalf6 @ColorsAndStones @HeraklesSoter Thank you for the information! I will need to look into that then.

[κιννάβαρι @cinnabarim]

@ColorsAndStones Thank you very much! 👩‍🔬👩‍🎨 Tomorrow we won't make you wake up earlier 😊

[κιννάβαρι @cinnabarim]

@ColorsAndStones Thank you for being there! I am sorry to have just read your question now. I think we are currently UTC+2 because we already changed to summer time. In any case, here it is currently 12:20, I hope it helps!

Fancy working at the Rathgen lab for 3 months? The Rathgen Heritage Science Scholarships, established in 2009, are awarded annually to enable young professionals to undertake a project of their choice. Deadline for 2021 applications is 20 May 2021.

[Dr Carla Ardis @Carla_Ardis]

The month of May was named after Maia, the oldest of the Pleiades and mother of Mercury. She was honored on the 01/05, when a pregnant sow was sacrificed to her, and on the 15/05 with her son, during the merchants' festival portrayed in the El Djem (Tunisia) mosaic of the months.
