There's always something hauntingly beautiful about the House of the #Vestals in the #ForumRomana
Here we go then...hopefully Ange's last 45 minutes as Spurs manager. Levy can f*ck off as well.
Delighted to take ownership of this rather splendid volume today, especially as my good friend @drchristinah.bsky.social co-authored Chapter 10 🤟🏽
After virtually circumnavigating the globe over the past 18 months in search of a Roman coin collection that's not closed for renovation, I've just stumbled across this awesome display. This must be what Heaven feels like 🥰😍🤔 #IstanbulArchaeologicalMuseum
You'll have to fight the locals for a good seat in this #Istanbul restaurant @metalclassicist.bsky.social
Supporting Spurs should come with a bloody health warning. My blood pressure is shot to f*ck after that game!
We should win but anyone who thinks we are not capable of self-destructing and f**king this right up isn't a proper Spurs fan! #COYS

Was going to visit the numismatic collection at the National Archaeological Museum in #Naples after Christmas. Guess I'll have to go somewhere else!
So, apart from Caracalla and Geta being based on Beavis and Butthead, a very shaky plot, sharks in the Colosseum, and other animals looking like they'd just come from a Percy Jackson movie, it was an entertaining couple of hours. Denzel Washington is superb 👌🏽
The Temple of Dendur, or at least the bit I was allowed to see. Built in 10BC and showing #Augustus making offerings to various Egyptian deities (Met. Museum, New York)
Tonight's reading to put some meat on the bones of this 11000 word skeleton.
