This Memorial Day, we honor the service and sacrifice of the brave Americans who gave their lives for this great nation.

We will never forget their courage, their devotion, and the freedoms they fought to defend.

It’s not entirely clear whether the Romans inhabited the Venetian lagoon before the fifth century A.D. But the discovery of a road 18 feet beneath a waterway, along with foundations and artifacts from the imperial period, changes the picture.

A #Roman mosaic portrait of a woman - probably not a famous or mythical woman, just an ordinary person. It was found in #Pompeii, & made in the late C1st BC - so she probably died before the devastation Vesuvius would unleash on her city in AD 79 #Archaeology #MosaicMonday

Let us all try harder to be worthy of their sacrifice.

Memorial Day is a solemn reminder that freedom is never free. Today, we honor the brave American heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.

We remember our fallen warriors, pray for their loved ones and Gold Star Families, and give thanks for those who gave everything.

God Bless America. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

The Late Anglo-Saxon Strickland Brooch, AD 800s.

A fabulous example of creativity and craftsmanship!

This large silver disc brooch is inlaid with gold and niello, and decorated in ‘Trewhiddle-style’ with an intricate pattern of puppy-like animals.

Communism murdered more than 100 million people across the globe — yet today, the radical Left talks about Marxism and “democratic socialism” like it’s trendy or harmless. In this powerful Liberty’s Voice clip, I explain how communism has been normalized in American politics, culture, and academia despite the mountains of death, oppression, gulags, censorship, and tyranny it left behind in places like China, Cuba, Venezuela, and the former Soviet bloc. We’re now watching extremist ideologies openly celebrated by politicians and activists who reject the foundations of our constitutional republic. The stakes couldn’t be higher. If we forget history, we risk repeating it.

The Franklin Expedition left England in 1845 headed for the Canadian Arctic. All 129 sailors perished, and archaeologists have been trying to identify the remains they’ve recovered. One man had traveled 125 miles from where the ships were abandoned.

[Following Hadrian @carolemadge]

#HadrianFactTuesday - Did you know that Hadrian wrote his own autobiography? 📜

Near the end of his reign, the emperor composed an account of his life in the form of letters addressed to his successor, Antoninus Pius. The work is now lost, but ancient authors such as Cassius Dio and the author of the Historia Augusta appear to have used it as a source, meaning Hadrian may have directly shaped the historical narrative that survives today.

Remarkably, a small fragment of this lost autobiography has survived on a papyrus discovered in Egypt. Written in Greek, it preserves part of Hadrian’s reflections on political and military affairs and offers a rare glimpse of the emperor speaking in his own voice nearly 1,900 years later. Even more fascinating, the text was copied on the back of a 2nd-century AD tax list by a schoolmaster and his pupil as a writing exercise. The papyrus is now housed at the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures in Chicago.

The surviving papyrus fragment is discussed in detail here 👉 https://t.co/oPJizjKdnD

Roman marble head depicting a Cyclops, almost certainly Polyphemus, the man-eating giant who is tricked and blinded by Odysseus in Homer's Odyssey. 'Cyclopes', derived from the Greek for ‘circle’ and ‘eye’, were depicted in a variety of ways in ancient art; sometimes with the single central eye that we might expect, but often with two human eyes and an additional third eye in the middle of their forehead. From the Roman Colosseum, 1st-2nd century AD.

A beautifully preserved ancient Roman table tennis paddle. The sport of table tennis, or ‘tenisia mensalis’ as the Romans knew it, became a wildly popular parlour game among Roman elites in the early empire.
Carried along the Silk Roads, ancient ping-pong found even greater favour in the imperial court of Han China. Sources report that in the late-second century AD, the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius dispatched a team of his finest table tennis players to the Far East for a fiercely contested inter-empire competition.
The historian Cassius Dio dismisses the emperor’s sporting venture as a trivial folly and pointless distraction from the many troubles afflicting the empire during his reign, and regrettably, the result of the Rome–China table tennis tournament has been lost to history.

This is the greatest tweet from trump yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

Stephen Miller: “At the beginning of this administration, we asked every state, red and blue, to share with us their voter rolls so we could scrub it against the DHS file of illegal aliens to remove illegal aliens from their voter rolls.

Every blue state refused. California refused. Minnesota refused. New York refused. In fact, they sued us to stop us from removing illegal aliens from the voter rolls, removing non-citizens from the voter rolls.

But that’s not the only thing. They don’t even want to get dead people off the rolls. They don’t want to get felons off the rolls. They don’t want to get out-of-state voters off the rolls. They don’t want to get double and triple voters out of the count. Because they want the fraud.

This is the most important issue, Sean, because the Biden administration brought 20 million illegal aliens into this country and this is the way, the only way, to keep them from participating in our sacred democratic process.”
