Roman Republican denarius showing citizens voting. One toga-clad citizen drops his voting tablet in the ballot box, while behind him another voter receives his tablet from an attendant below. Voters crossed elevated walkways or 'pontes' above their fellow citizens in order to reach the ballot box, so all could see that they had voted without any last-minute intimidation or interference by others.
To safeguard the integrity of elections, in 119 BC, the tribune Gaius Marius further narrowed the pons causeway leading to the ballot box, in order to prevent any non-voters from standing on the gangway and engaging in bribery or intimidation; literally, to ensure that there was 'no room' for interference.

This amphoriskos (perfume bottle) made of banded agate is a rarity. Symbols of wealth and sophistication, used as diplomatic gifts and kept as heirlooms in antiquity and later. Imitations were made in glass and pottery.

Lovely ancient cups made by highly-skilled Minoan potters some 3,800 years ago!
Some cups have such delicately thin walls they are known as βeggshellβ ware.
During the Bronze Age, these luxury ceramics were in demand outside Crete. I think theyβd be popular in todayβs world too!

A #Roman glass flask, decorated with 'snake threads' trailing around it. It was made in the Rhineland about 1700-1800 years ago & ended up being placed in a tomb - one of the reasons it survives in such beautiful condition #Archaeology#RomanArchaeology#AncientGlass
