A few #romanmosaics beauties from my visit to @NarboVia_fr in Narbonne, the first Roman City established out of Italy in 118 BC, whereas Italica in Spain was founded in 216 BC... Go figure...😜

The study indicates that the Skhūl I skull cannot be definitively attributed to Homo sapiens.
Interestingly, it seems the child was considered a full member of the group and given the same respect as others buried in the cave.

These woollen chitons (or long tunics) have - incredibly - survived from Roman Egypt due to the dry climate. Amazing finds showing a wonderful insight into past fashions.

I posted a picture of the Roman lighthouse at Dover recently (and posted here again). Well here’s a mosaic found at the Piazzale delle Corporazioni at Ostia depicting the lighthouse of Portus.

It must have been an impressive sight standing 5 storeys high. You can see the lamp at the top here.

Bronze age man created #music by accident, mainly to impress women. And if cymbals already existed, it was less to mark rhythm than to wake those who had fallen asleep in despair during the first flintstone concert.

The Pula peacocks roman mosaic in Pula, #Croatia a Those birds so extravagantly feathered make Liberace look like a minimalist monk.

Ah, the Roman mosaic of the peacocks in Pula. Imagine, dear reader, that the ancient Romans—between two massacres and three orgies—suddenly decided to have a go at interior design. And what did they choose? A pair of peacocks. On a platter. Because nothing says imperium sine fine like birds that look like drag queens attending a toga party. Now, picture the scene: a lavish Roman villa, somewhere between the forum and the vomitorium, where Senator Publius Maximus Overcompensatus strolls across the floor, wine in one hand, moral decay in the other. Beneath his sandals, this mosaic—a painstaking arrangement of colored tiles forming two birds so extravagantly feathered they make Liberace look like a minimalist monk. The peacocks themselves? Ah! Majestic creatures, symbols of immortality in Roman times, and surely the only animals to rival Nero for sheer narcissism. Their tails flare like fireworks at a patrician wedding, their necks curved in eternal disdain, as if to say, “Yes, we know we’re fabulous. Now go back to conquering Gaul.” And they perch—because of course they do—on either side of a vase, possibly containing the tears of Spartacus or just a decent Chianti, depending on which archaeologist you ask. The symmetry! The finesse! The sheer Romanesque je-m’en-foutisme of depicting divine birds in the foyer where some toga-clad teenager probably dropped his olives. So yes, this mosaic is more than just stone and pigment—it’s a cry from the past, a whispered ode to beauty, decadence, and the human need to impress guests. Even if it’s with birds who look like they’ve just stepped off the catwalk at Caesar’s Palace.
