#MosaicMonday
Lullingstone villa #mosaics - The mosaic shows famous scenes from #Greek and #Roman #mythology: the hero Bellerophon riding the winged horse Pegasus to defeat the Chimera. A scene of Europa cleverly depicted in a simple, yet effective linear style.

Admit it, this was your doing after a pint. 😂
Has been quite the year for wildlife appearing in my garden at the right time for me to notice. I remembered to check my memory card was in my Nikon this time. Taken this morning. 📸🦊
If this is the general intelligence of AI, I think we're safe from Skynet for a little while longer. However, someone might want to tell @theduncanmackay.bsky.social to get on his coracle the next time he wanders on Boudica's journey. Stay in school, kids. Read books. #RomanBritain #BoudicaRevolt
What a view that is though. Cant wait to go there next year and do the stretch from Housesteads.
A massive thank you to potted-history.co.uk for making these for me. Cooking pot and bowl. The two month wait was worth it. Looking forward to using these towards my next production #RomanPottery #History
Slowly yet surely getting things on track for my next short film.
Has anyone else found that just before their broadband plan is up for renewal/cancellation, the connection starts becoming absolute bollocks and drops out frequently? Beginning to think it's deliberately done to try and entice a more secure deal.
Finally got myself a Gallic 'G' Helmet this weekend that fits my stupid fat head. Even spruced it with a crest. Looks pretty. An added bonus: Started work on a new Roman themed film short with my storyboarder Etienne filling in as an impromptu screenwriter who delivered a solid first draft today.
Having fun making my own wax tablets. Worked out very well in the end.
Have wanted one of these for so long now. #RomanHistory #OilLamp #AncientHistory
Season 3 of Alice in Borderlands was just as epic. Not sold on a potential American spin-off in LA, but definitely wouldn't say no to more Ken Wattanabe in a Season 4... so long as it's still in Japan.
Just how long have you waited to post this... 😂😂😂 Bloody funny.
Well, I wasn't allowed to take my birthday off work today, but at least I got a cupcake with a hat on it. It truly has been a day ofself rreflection, not least because turning 37 I need to start living my best life soon.
Well, in true Wilko fashion, it's only taken me 11 years to finally get around to watching Detectorists.
So, should she happen to go missing one day, we know whose garden shes likely to be in. 😂
The thing that surprised me was Rovers made an account on here only to get rid of it after a day of creating it. Seemed a pointless decision IMO, and what irks me even more is the 'fan base' on X who think they are the voice of the people or ITK about everything. 😐
Had a nosy on X to see if the toxicity levels had dropped amongst the user-base since the skies turned blue... Annnnd no. It's still very much a cesspit.
What fun have I missed for the past two weeks on here?
Life in the Roman World of Nero and St Paul T.G. Tucker - 1910
For a book 115years old, it's in bloody good condition.
Covers lots of ground, from the like of Adminstration and Taxation - Life in the Middle and Lower Classes - Children and Education (to name a few).
City of Victory - Another lucky find on World of Books as I continue my research on a story I'm developing for a short film #colchester #romanbritain #boudica #history #archeology
I hear it's to die for...
One of thirteen new Roman/Roman Britain/Boudica books I'd acquired over the past 48hours.

I wasn't even aware of the existence of the Hawkdon helmet until you just mentioned it, so that's still a massive help. Thank you. Hope the rest of your holiday and adventuring go well.

Morning to you Duncan, 🖐️😄
Quick Camulodunum question. Do you think in all likelihood there would have been some form of gladiatorial entertainment in the city at all other than the theatre? I'm trying to do a bit more research on the capitol at the time of the Revolt.🤔
I take it you've gone on pilgrimage? 😆
Explaining Canada Day To Americans
🎵 🇨🇦 Oh Canada! 🇨🇦 🎵🍁 Today with my pay packet I was given Canadian larger to try. Certainly looks the part and hopefully tastes better than the pig swill we here in the UK are accustomed to.
There you have it—the four horsemen of the apocalypse.
