A #Roman rock crystal ring decorated with a crescent and stars inlaid with gold foil - it looks like an emoji , but for the Romans this wasn’t just decoration. The motif was associated with death: crescent and stars were symbols for eternity and afterlife.
Rock crystal was valued for its transparency, it was considered it to be permanently frozen water. It was also believed to possess healing and protective properties.
Found in a woman's burial in Nijmegen, dating 1st c. AD.

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 Cupid in everyday activities were very popular. The fresco dates 50/60 AD. Now at Museo Archeologico Nazionale.

Pour ce #VendrediLecture, en train de lire:
"Là où je me terre" de #CarolineDawson
> #Valparaíso, décembre 1986, tremblement de terre entre les quatre murs d’une maison. Un homme et une femme annoncent à leurs enfants qu’il faut tout laisser derrière et fuir le #Chili de #Pinochet. C’est Noël, la petite Caroline a sept ans et elle aura la nausée durant tout le voyage.

Fascinating world of ancient glass: The skill of ancient glassmakers never ceases to amaze me.
This a magnificent #Roman striped mosaic bowl was made of preformed rods and canes fused on or in a mold.
Dating late 1st c. BC/early 1st c AD.
Timeless beauty!

Inspiration und Brainstorming gesucht:
In meinem #Roman kommt eine junge Frau vor, die noch nicht weiß, dass die autistisch ist. In welchem Setting könnte ich sie erstmalig auftreten lassen, um sichtbar zu machen, wie es um sie steht ohne viel erklären zu müssen.
(Sie ist 17, in kaufm. Ausbildung, besucht Berufsschule, hat eine alleinerziehende Mutter, wenig Freundschaften, ist zudem kreativ und künstlerisch begabt.)
Ich brauche einen neuen Anfang.
Herzlichen Dank für alle Ideen.

A beautiful yellow Roman glass pitcher with a splash of light blue appliqué for extra decoration. The small relief depicts a bacchant, follower of Bacchus, god of wine.

A dog’s paw print on a Roman clay tile 🐾 🐕 😍
About 2,000 years-ago, a dog made its mark for ‘pawsterity’ when it wandered across the wet tile laid out to dry before firing.
