A dog’s paw print on a Roman clay tile 🐾 🐕 😍
About 2,000 years-ago, a dog made its mark for ‘pawsterity’ when it wandered across the wet tile laid out to dry before firing.

This unusual feature, with its two upstanding pillar stones, marks a burial mound that was rediscovered and excavated in 1885 after a storm blew away the sand that covered it.
The dig revealed Bronze Age urns and human remains that were dated to c.1500 BC.

This stunning head is part of a life-sized, free-standing sculpture and exemplifies an idealized portrayal of a ruler. This head has been attributed to Pharaoh Amasis (570-526 BC), who ascended to the throne through a military revolt. His rule then brought a new era of peace to the country.

And the two child benefit limit is abolished. An enormous victory for those who have campaigned tirelessly for eight long years through successive governments. This will lift at least 450,000 children out of poverty. Fewer kids will be hungry. No more women forced to disclose their rape.
