I love #FrescoFriday, this is so fun to see!
We know what Ancient Greek children called this game: ἀποδιδρασκίνδα. To my knowledge, the Latin word is unattested.

For #FrescoFriday a #Roman wall painting from the Casa dei Cervi, Herculaneum, depicting Cupids playing hide and seek. I especially like the one who covers his eyes - some things haven't changed since Roman times! In Roman wall painting of the 1st c. AD, scenes depicting...🧵 1/2

This is what it's all about, honestly.
Related: one of my goals for graduate school is to learn what I can of Etruscan. Etruscologists seem to be uncommon in the US, though :(

This small vase, inscribed with the twenty-six letters of the #Etruscan alphabet, may have been a container for ink. The head acts as a stopper and could be attached to the bird’s body by a cord. The missing tail no doubt curved downward to form a third foot.

This is so cool! The writing is interesting: I don't see the curvy block letters with almost serif-looking lines very often. Maybe something from its origins in Roman Spain or the 3rd century?

I was absolutely honored this weekend to be in the same room as the famous Pylos combate agate and other incredible bronze age artifacts. So so so incredible. Just amazing to spend time with this and see it up close. I'll have to share some of my other favorite things soon, too!

I'm trying to save money over here but when something like this comes around and it's at my favorite museum?? I'm going to have to be there! Can't wait to see.
The new exhibition "The Kingdom of Pylos: Warrior Princes of Ancient Greece" will be open June 27 as well
See the new exhibition featuring 230 works of art and artifacts from Messenia. www.getty.edu/exhibitions/...

This is so cool! I have a soft spot for these pigment jars from Pompeii: they were the first thing I saw a few years ago when I went to Oklahoma City for an exhibit at the OKCMOA that really got me hooked on classics/archaeology.

To say that I am stressed and concerned about the state of higher education in the US right now is an understatement. I've been trying to distract myself by looking at fun things I've seen at museums, recalling happier times and new experiences. I'd like to share some here over the next few days.

This is exciting! Good timing, as I'm looking forward to taking a class on Cleopatra this spring semester and starting to read sources over the break. By chance and luck, in Latin poetry class, we'll be reading the Dido sections of the Aeneid. African queen semester!? The hype is real.

I might need to save up to travel to this one! Mary Beard's documentaries and books have been a constant favorite for years. Not just a brilliant scholar but an inspiration to me and my wife as we navigate academia.
I am doing a mini UK tour next autumn. Programme attached here (some venues are selling quick... so be there or be square!)
