MOSAIC FLOOR WITH CRUSTÆ, C1 BCE. SCAVI SOTTO S. CECILIA This complex site began as a domus in the C2-C1 BCE, and in the C2 CE an insula was built onto the domus, evidently a comfortable one as it had its own set of baths, much like the Caseggiato degli Aurighi at Ostia. There are mosaic floors at the C2 CE ground level but here we see a cut into that level which reveals a C1 BCE mosaic about 50 cm lower down. This mosaic, interrupted by a C2 CE wall, has a white background and a simple black frame. Within it at relatively even intervals are larger irregular coloured marble pieces known as crustæ. This style echoes the first mosaic pavement of the temple of Capitoline Jupiter, a marker of prestige. At the centre of the mosaic is a kantharos or vase in black tesseræ.

#MosaicMonday takes us into the confusing excavations under #SantaCecilia in #Trastevere to find this #mosaic floor from the C1 BCE, from a #domus on the site that was built over with an #insula in the C2 CE. It has a #kantharos at centre, but otherwise uses coloured #crustæ. #AncientBluesky 🏺

While out trekking near the Turkish-Syrian border, one may end up stumbling upon an aqueduct from Late Antiquity/the Early Byzantine period in the middle of nowhere.
This is not called the cradle of civilisation for nothing.

A fragment of Roman mosaic mounted on a low brick wall. It shows the bust of a naked man with his hair worn in a top-knot. The bust is in an octagonal compartment with a black and white striped border.

For this #MosaicMonday, a handsome - and larger-than-life - athlete in the museum in Aquileia. The supporting brick wall in the display gives an idea of his size. The fragment is about the height of a person.

The First 20 Popes

DEDICATION OF A SHRINE TO HERCULES, 1 JUNE 128 CE. OSPEDALE FATEBENEFRATELLI, ISOLA TIBERINA "Sacred to Hercules of the House of Augustus, from the collection of the warehousemen of the second larger cohort and Diadumenus, slave of our Caesar, and Titus Flavius Crescens and the Galban workers; under the care of Hermes, slave of Gaius Mundicius Helpistus. Dedicated on the Kalends of June [June 1st] in the consulship of Marcus Iunius Mettius Rufus and Quintus Pomponius Maternus [128 AD]." So it seems the workers in the Horrea Galbana, the huge warehouses of Galba near the river-port of Rome in today's Testaccio district, had a nice whip round to fund a sacred space, a shrine or altar, to Hercules. The workers, imperial freedmen and slaves, were divided into three "cohorts", not military ones, but possibly corresponding to the three courtyards of the Horrea. Hercules, the human who became a god, was a natural divinity to link to Hadrian, emperor at the time. He was also connected to mercantile activity and the emergence from the bonds of slavery, which would also help to explain the devotion of the warehouse-men.

A #dedication of a #shrine to #Hercules is the subject of this week's #EpigraphyTuesday. Made in elegant rustic capitals, we can date it precisely to June 1, 128 CE. It's now on the wall of the fishpond cloister of the #Fatebenefratelli hospital on the #Tiber Island in #Rome. #AncientBluesky 🏺

A weathered statue of a crouching human. Long stands of hair are visible falling in the shoulders.

The ‘harpy’ from another angle showing the top half of a crouching body which is clearly animal shaped.

The ‘harpy’ side on, the back of its body shows a piece of masonry which may be wings or even part of a building, a door arch?

The Colchester sphinx. A similarly shaped statue to the statue in the previous photos, but in much better condition clearly showing a winged Greek style sphinx with a head between their front claws.

Roman-period statue of a ‘Harpy’ found in Driffield Terrace, York. To me, it (loosely) resembles the Colchester sphinx, which is believed to have been placed on a tomb. Both items may be evidence for a taste of Egyptian style art in Roman Britain. 🏺 #Egyptology #AncientBluesky

SARCOPHAGUS WITH THE FOUR SEASONS, 270-280 CE. VATICAN MUSEUMS This sarcophagus was acquired by Pius VI for the VM from its discoverers, and now holds a prominent position in the Belvedere Courtyard. It's tub-shaped, a lenòs, and, as often happens with such sarcophagi, has two lions savaging antelopes at the curved ends. From left to right, two on either side of the central figure, stand youthful male figures representing the Seasons: Winter, fully dressed in tunic and cloak, holding up a duck he has hunted; Spring, nude but for his cloak, with one arm bearing a branch with new leaves; Summer, also nude but for a cloak, holding a herdsman's staff; and Fall, holding a container of fruit and a freshly-hunted rabbit. At centre is the young male deceased with a peripetasma or curtain behind him, held up by Spring and Summer. The face has been carved for a male, but the figure is female, in a dress and stola.

#SarcophagusSaturday at the #VaticanMuseums gives us this odd C18 display of a very toned seminude reclining woman with a #Flavian hairdo, the lid to a different #sarcophagus than the one it's on, which shows the deceased flanked by the Four Seasons (not the band). 270-280 CE. #AncientBluesky 🏺
