"Διομήδης χρηστιανός" was carved above the grave of a Roman Messenian at a time when most of his fellow citizens still worshipped the old gods. Diomedes, who likely died in the late 3rd CE, was decided to boldly declare his identity on the family funerary monument among a pagan cemetery. #Messene
Back to Earth! So, Musk's "America Party" draws inspiration from Epaminondas & the Battle of Leuctra. Meanwhile, we're literally excavating the legacy of that era at #Messene! ✨ Our archaeological team revealing the great city Epaminondas founded.
Si fueris Romae... (When in Rome...) #Messene is travelling to Rome this Friday 4.4.25 as I will be presenting new evidence on the Early Christian & #Byzantine archaeology of Messene at the Pontificio Istituto di Archeologia Cristiana. All Roman friends are welcome to join!
From rubble to restoration: The #theatre of Ancient #Messene back in 2004 and as it appears today. What a transformation! #Peloponnese #Greece #Archaeology #AncientBluesky

The audience hall of a 4th century domus (civic mansion) in the city of #Messene in SW Peloponnese. A Late Antique seat of local power decorated with opus sectile and mosaic floors and a collection of older statues that were portrayed along its back wall.
Off to Kalamata for the 4th Archaeological Work in the #Peloponnese International Meeting, and for a full session dedicated to our excavation at ancient #Messene in honor of late Petros Themelis. Check my paper on Early and Middle
#Byzantine baths of the city and the change in its urban fabric.
Ok, let's do something original for Bsky! In our excavation at #Messene (SW Peloponnese) we've excavated an amazing Roman mosaic in an open-air public space depicting a mysterious scene with a female person Messenia and two ass-drivers named as Attikos and Zosimos. [1/2]
New post this week as I get read to leave Sicily and head back to #Greece, the seventh and penultimate entry on #Messene from my visit last summer. This post finishes up the gymnasium and main site, and starts on the points outside the park.
