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 oculus in the entrance hall brought light to any who were lucky enough to visit Emperor Diocletian in his magnificent Palace in Split, #Croatia
Dating from the late 3rd century AD, it's still fantastically preserved!

If you missed it - check out Simon Shephard on Ep 41 discussing the Gunners at Passchendaele in 1917
The scale and synchronisation of attacks with Arty made me think of a Ep 28 with Dr Eric Hollister on the Importance of the wristwatch in WW1 /FWW
Have a fab weekend!

Today’s ep was all on the Gunners at Passcehndaele in 1917
A truly informative ep from the super Simon Shephard - who knew the sheer volume of shells or guns that were used didn’t simply translate into the destruction of enemy trenches, but was more targeted to neutralise them?
