We see part of the Colosseum in Rome. It's real name is The Flavian Amphitheater, after the dynasty of Emperors who built and upgraded it. We see windows above and gates at the bottom. The numerous small holes in the facade are where marble plates were once fixed. The Colosseum would have been gleaming white when it was in use.

The Pompeiian ‘Blue Room’: in situ detection and economic estimation of Egyptian blue pigment in an ancient domestic sacrarium Egyptian blue (EB) was a prized, intense blue pigment in antiquity, its color commonly associated with wealth, status, and divinity. While frequently used in small quantities for decorative enhancements,...

In Pompeii, a shrine coated in Egyptian blue reveals the high cost and status of sacred space in the Roman world. This vibrant pigment offers a vivid backdrop for understanding the material culture surrounding early Christianity.

A haggard, wiry man and woman clad in a fraying tunic. From left to right they have the traits of Romans, Celts, Hellenes and Easterners.

Criminals are wildcards, unable to be pinned down or pigeonholed into one role. They are people of extremes, acustomed to the discomforts of the world and at their best under circumstances most dire.

Illuminated manuscript depiction of Venus approaching a reclining Aeneas from the sky

On #FindARainbowDay, let's turn to #AncientRome for depictions of #rainbows. To the Romans, the rainbow was a sign of the supernatural. A 5th century AD manuscript of Virgil's works, Vergilius Romanus, depicts a scene where Venus appears to her son Aeneas with a rainbow arching above her.

"Rome was never really still, but steps echoed more at night."
From Tyrant, by Conn Iggulden
Sounds carry at night in Rome.
I like how this author conjured up what I felt with so few words.

What a way to celebrate Friday with this gorgeous depiction of Venus. She appears to glide across the sea as she reclines in a shell. She is accompanied by a nereid riding a dolphin and Cupid shyly hanging back behind the shell.

The brothers hated each other. They divided the imperial palace, built separate entrances, and even considered splitting the empire in two. Their mother, Julia Domna, tried desperately to mediate. #AncientRome #SeveranDynasty

Special Episode - Archaic Roman Religion - The Partial Historians - Ancient Roman History with smart ladies In this episode, we discuss aspects of archaic Roman religion, such as the role of nature, early gods, and priesthoods.

However, the gods were hugely important to the Romans, so there are a variety of sources that we can use to piece together a picture of what practices and ideas guided the early Romans.

Free book, 'Piso Christ', tells how, why & by whom, the New Testament was written. Christianity was created during a time of war as a part of that war. The war was fought over the issue of slavery & human rights for The People. Roman rulers & royals of the Roman Empire wanted to keep the slavery that they had been used to & took for granted. But certain Jewish leaders wanted to help The People and free them of slavery. Everyone needs to know the information in this book, which is why I made it free (as well as the rest of my work). Please tell others! - Roman Piso

The hydra was known to terrorise the countryside around Lerna with its nine serpenty heads. Between the venom and the fact that one head was immortal, this was not a labour to be sneezed at!
