A master of Japanese art, Katsushika Hokusai’s ukiyo-e prints are recognised all over the world. The most iconic? ‘Great Wave off the Coast of Kanagawa,’ part of the series, ‘Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji.’ 🌊

In a #Pompeii without visitors, the cats wander the streets of Pompeii alone. They are among the few figures walking through the excavations, other than the custodians and staff who are working to preserve the site. 🐱
Out of all the ancient ruins in #Rome, none is more surprising than the 36-mt high #Pyramid of Cestius. Built in the I BC at a fork between two roads as the tomb of the magistrate Gaius Cestius, was then incorporated into the Aurelian Walls and it's still there. #MuseumsUnlocked
A delightful #Roman clay tile with kitten pawprints from Lullingstone Roman Villa. The kitten wandered across the wet tile whilst it was lying out to dry before firing. There is also a semi-circular maker’s mark @EnglishHeritage#TilesonTuesday#RomanArchaeology
