Off to see this today. Check out YouTube. Horses and chariots. So lucky to get a cancellation as we didn't expect to be in Spain over Easter. It's likely to be cold as lots of wind forecast. It'll be a lengthy parade. #easter #semanasanta #writerslife #spain #epic #Romans #beingprepared

A row of thick-trunked trees stands on a bank alongside a paved pathway. The trees are bare at the bottom but with plenty of bright green growth at the top. Behind the trees an area of scrubland with ancient olive trees and, in the distance, the multi-arched Pont du Gard Roman aqueduct.

Hannibal's Cannae Strategem made an appearance in Game of Thrones' Battle of the Bastards... although it did not go as well for Jon Snow as it did for the Carthaginian general...

Is it possible that the sister of a Roman emperor organised a regional usurpation to secure part of the empire for her brother...?

Just submitted my article which is the intro to the theme of @ancientwarfare.bsky.social issue 107: Augustus' German Wars, and all those forts on the Rhine and Lippe rivers. Look for that soon.

Map of Europe, Western Asia and North Africa, displaying the geographic extent of the Roman Empire in AD 117. Triangles show the locations of aqueducts and sites associated with them, such as cities and towns, studied in the article.
Make sure to stay hydrated this #ThirstyThursday! 🫗
The #Romans made sure their citizens had access to clean, fresh water with aqueducts. A new study shows how they were carefully planned to ensure an adequate supply.

A Roman double archway standing in an open space in a city centre. The arch is as tall as the three and four storey buildings behind it. The stones are worn and parts of the decorated columns built into the front are missing. A flat pediment runs along the top.

In late March, #Romans observed Hilaria, a festival of #Cybele , the Magna Mater.
Part of a wider spring ritual cycle, it marked a shift from mourning to renewal. Her cult, brought from #Phrygia to Rome, spread across the Empire—including into Britain, reaching even its northern frontiers.
wargame model. a work-in-progress shot of a roman throwing a pilum? or spear. he is undercoated in grey and only the skintone has been started. green background of the a cutting mat.
wargame model. a work-in-progress photo of the back of a viking warlord. he's pointing with one hand and wears a red cloak with some yellow knotwork on the lower edge. still to be completed.
wargame model. two basic foamboard ruined buildings on plywood bases, standing on a workbench. they are yet to be finished, so are still white, but will soon be plated with filler texture and painted. they are two similar corner buildings with open windows and doors and plenty of battle damage to the exteriors.
Getting stuff finished. Romans, Viking Warlord and a couple of bits of terrain. Listening to the KPM 1000 series volume 1 album while doing so.

Before Venice there was Aquileia, a great city and bastion at the north-east entrance to Italy... until the Scourge of God came... a poetic lament...

Today marks #WorldWaterDay, highlighting the importance of clean water. #Romans were well aware of the importance of clean water & constructed #aqueducts to supply towns & cities from springs.

Western side of small Roman amphitheatre, with large gateway flanked by 2 smaller doorways, part of the curved stone wall, only a few courses of large stones high. Several tiers of seating are visible behind the wall. Grass now covers the interior oval, where a line of stonework is also visible to the left of the entrance. Behind are trees in the distance under a blue sky.
A rectangular space is bounded by a short stone wall, capped with further a layer of stone. At the far end of the space is a sloping entry. In the foreground sitting in the near half of the rectangular space and just inside the nearest wall is a rectangular complex of 4 stone rows set on short stone pillars the same height as the surrounding walls. Bases of pillars form a line outside the left of the large space. In the background are further Roman remains, including a Roman temple of peace and the gateway to the amphitheatre, with trees and a range of hills behind. To the left is a tall tree, and a group of visitors with a guide.
Poseidonia, C7 BC Magna Graecia site w its 3 famed Greek temples, became #RomanSiteSaturday Paestum in 273BC post Pyrrhic war.
#Romans reused the temples, added homes, built new structures eg this small amphitheatre + curious pool/sanctuary used in women's annual fertility ritual during Veneralia. 🏺
A 'barbarian' punishing a scion of a major empire with a molten gold draught... its not just in the pages of fiction
