Re watching #HBORome for the 3rd time, and man, @JamesPurefoy ‘s Antony is just incredible acting. Top 3 favourite characters in any show ever.

Today’s coin is this antoninian of Aurelian, the restitutor orbis. The reverse shows Sol Invictus, who was later identified with Christ by Constantine, standing between two captives. This one was minted in Sisca, between 270-275. #Roman #numismatics #classicsmatter

Gronk is a terrible analyst lol

@ancientorigins Sasquatch seems to be real; too many reports from otherwise credible witnesses to be nothing. Lots of Native Americans and woodsmen who would know whats a bear and what isn’t claim to see it for it to not be something

@TheClassicalCo I always love looking at original surfaces of Roman roadways. The weathering of them is fascinating! Such a beautiful arch as well
