Some mornings are easier than others …
As the morning mist retreats it leaves the waterway bright and reflective as blue sky arrives.

Tatinger ware jug from Birka grave Bj 854.

Tatinger vessels were decorated with tin foil geometric patterns. Imported into Viking-Age Scandinavia from the Carolingian world, they would have been signifiers of high status in contexts such as feasting and burial.

#EpigraphyTuesday offers us a shattered and recomposed slab of Luni marble from the #Forum of #Augustus in #Rome. Its #inscription has been somewhat devoured by the human termites who ran the lime kilns but is easily legible as a statue dedication to #Drusus #Germanicus. #AncientBluesky 🏺
STATUE BASE FROM THE FORUM OF AUGUSTUS, 2 BCE. TRAJAN'S MARKETS [Nero] Cl[a]udiu[s], Ti(beri) f(ilius), / [Dru]sus German[i]cus, / [co(n)s(ul)], pr(aetor) urb(anus), q(uaestor), aug(ur), imp(erator)/[app]ellatus in Germania "Nero Claudius Drusus Germanicus, son of Tiberius, consul, urban praetor, quaestor, augur, acclaimed as commander in Germany". This is the fragmented statue base of a member of the Claudian gens absorbed into the family of Augustus, the great military hero Drusus, second son of Livia, wife of Augustus, by her first marriage to Tiberius Claudius. Drusus had a hugely successful military career and held civil office. He was acclaimed as imperator by his troops after they defeated the German tribe of the Cherusci in 11 BCE. He died two years later and was commemorated in the part of the Forum of Augustus dedicated to his family.

Funerary inscription of
Crescens, charioteer of the blue faction from Mauritania, 22 years old.
AD 1-50, Rome.

He achieved his first victory with a quadriga in the 24th race when L(ucius) Vipstanius Messalla held the consulship (115 AD)…

A statue base dedicated to Emperor Hadrian in AD 136.

This monument is significant because it lists on the sides 5 of the 14 Augustan districts and names the magistrates.

In the 15th C it was displayed on the Capitoline Hill showing the Renaissance interest in #AncientRome.

#EpigraphyTuesday – A really rather interesting inscription from Roman Corbridge, ca. AD 161-166, being part of a dedication to the ‘Invincible Sun God’, though with a notable subsequent erasure in the first line. #Latin 🏺🧵

Bronze tablet on which are engraved two decrees by Gnaeus Pompeius Strabo; in the first, Roman citizenship is granted to several Iberian equestrians. It includes the name of a Lucius Sergius, almost certainly Lucius Sergius Catilina there as witness. 👀

#Roman #History
Image description 89 BCE (or a copy from the reign of Vespasian, 69-79 CE). Copy. CIL I2 709 = CIL VI 37045 = |LS 8888. The chance survival of an inscription dating from 89 reveals an intriguing possibility. The inscription lists some of the members of the staff of Pompeius Strabo as witnesses to an act of enfranchisement; Inv. No. MCR 149.
