Great talk tonight at the #Oxford #LateAntique and #Byzantine seminar by my (brilliant) undergrad tutor & MPhil supervisor Phil Booth about John of Ephesus. Considering him as a member of a marginalised group of bishops operating “on the edge” in the 6th/7th c. So fascinating. #byzantinebluesky

Know someone who works on the art & architecture of the late antique and/or medieval Mediterranean and is looking for a teaching position?

Mount Holyoke is hiring a TT Assistant Professor of Art History and Architectural Studies in that area!

Deadline 1 December.

For #SpoliaSunday I didn't have much to go on for this obvious standard measure in the entrance garden of the #BathsofDiocletian in #Rome. No label, just some #lateantique #epigraphy. What I found, to my surprise, was a thread reaching back into the dawn of #Roman history. #ClassicsBluesky 🏺

One for #mosaicmonday The "two apses" room at Piazza Armerina is the entrance of the palace's bath suite. The design shows the Circus Maximus in Rome with a chariot race. This detail shows some of the audience watching the races. #sicily #piazzaamerina #romanarchaeology #lateantique #chariot

The first in a series on me demoing #LateAntique clothing. This one focuses on a pretty basic recruit in the #RomanMilitary circa roughly the 4th century CE. youtube.com/shorts/HnLgX...

#SarcophagusSaturday takes us to the park around the #lateantique #basilica of #SanVitale in #Ravenna, where a series of impressive #sarcophagi line the paths toward the so-called #mausoleum of #GallaPlacidia. #AncientBluesky 🏺
