Ravenna – mosaics from the east… The mosaics of Ravenna, Italy – a spectacular collection of ‘Byzantine style’ mosaics dating from the 6th century CE

For this week’s #mosaic Monday I’m in Ravenna - finest coll.n of Byzantine mosaics in Italy. As the locals say ‘mozzafiato’ No.4 Balthasar, Melchior, Gaspar (Caspar) a little late but let’s call it Epiphany! Superb, millions of #tesserae #mosaicmonday wp.me/p5eFNn-7JA

The Tesserae Jumper pattern by Jessie Darch Tesserae refers to the small intricate pieces used to create mosaic artwork. The Tesserae Jumper encapsulates this same idea through the form of mosaic crochet. Each stitch is intentional, choosing wh...

Ran across this yesterday, and really want to give it a try. #mosaiccrochet #Tesserae

MOSAIC EMBLEMA WITH CHARIOTEER AND HORSE, 193-235 CE. PALAZZO MASSIMO ALLE TERME This magnificent emblema comes from a cubiculum in the gigantic villa of the Severan emperors at Baccano at the fifteenth mile outside Rome along the via Cassia. As it was excavated unscientifically during the exciting period of 1869-1870, we don't know the configuration of this floor, only that it had four emblemata, each representing one factio or team of charioteers in the Circus Maximus. This chap is driving for the factio albata, the Whites, as we can tell from his doublet which is made of closely woven white ribbons. He holds his roan horse by his reins, and faces us directly in his quadrigaria or short tunic. He holds a whip in one hand and wears a grey helmet. The horse is caparisoned with two ribands and looks well up to his task of winning races. These emblemata are made with extraordinary skill, a true high point of Roman mosaic work in the very difficult style of opus vermiculatum.

#MosaicMonday finds us looking at a masterpiece of #mosaic work from the area of #Rome, one of four #aurigae or charioteers in an #emblema from a cubiculum of the #Severan #imperial #villa at #Baccano just outside the urbs. The shading using the minimum of #tesserae is amazing. #AncientBluesky 🏺

Venus' 'continents' suggest surprising link to early Earth New research has revealed that Venus, often considered Earth's inhospitable twin, may share a surprising geological history with our own planet.

The Venusian highlands as proto-continents (similar to the cratons of the Earths continents), once again shown to be a viable idea. Supports the idea that both planets were initially on similar paths which then diverged. Neat! But unfortunately, no preprint available. #venus #cratons #tesserae
