Construction linked to the future MiQua Jewish #Museum in Cologne has brought to light a group of #Roman structures preserved in rare condition. The work focuses on an underground visitor passage beneath Rathausplatz, in the heart of the city鈥檚 historic center. Deep trenches cut through layers that usually vanish during later building phases. In this case, Roman deposits remained sealed beneath ancient backfills along the former slope of the Rhine.

For #MosaicMonday a #Roman mosaic showing the labyrinth of the Minotaur on Crete. The monster鈥檚 head is depicted in the centre. The simple depiction is alluding to the myth of Theseus, in which the Greek hero slays the Minotaur in the labyrinth with the help of Ariadne鈥檚 thread.
The mosaic was found in the peristyle of the House of the Fountain in Conimbriga/Portugal, dating 3rd century AD.

Kids loved playing with toys in #Roman times too!
Some 1,800 years ago, a child in Cologne was buried with a terracotta horse with a rider on for wheels. It was definitely a beloved toy that the kid was also meant to play with in the afterlife.
