🌟 Down with the king! 🌟

Rome’s birthday can only mean one thing, Romulus and Remus are on everyone’s mind. Tired of thinking about the Roman empire? We’ve got your back, take a change of scene with the Roman regal period. A time of myth and legend (as they’d say in the opening of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys), and a time of remarkable tales of Rome’s earliest history according to them!

Check out the link in our bio for where you can pick up a copy of our foray into Rome’s early history: “Rex: The Seven Kings of Rome” 🥳

Image one is an overview of some key details from “Rex: The Seven Kings of Rome”, including: - Overly ambitious dudes who get too big for their regal boots - Women driving vechicles over unexpected objects (like their dad) - Fratricide (super awkward, Romulus) - Surprising objects in fires which are obviously signs from the gods… - GoodReads rating of 4.9!
Image two provides a description of “Rex: The Seven Kings of Rome”: “Rome wasn’t built in a day, but it was founded by a king (in the Latin ‘rex’) - or so the Romans believed. Over time, the kings of Rome became more confident in their powers, more brazen in their ambitions, and eventually Rome rejected them. Who were these kings, so powerful and so fearful that Rome refused to ever let another man take up the title? In ‘Rex: The Seven Kings of Rome’ we find out!

May your days be filled with ripe figs and all such delicious delights! This #FrescoFriday we celebrate this very tempting bowl of figs that was part of a fresco from the Villa of Poppaea in Oplontis.

The Villa Poppaea was preserved in the aftermath of the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 CE. Oplontis was very close and just to the north-west of Pompeii. Finds from the site suggest the villa may have been connected with Nero’s wife Poppaea Sabina. If so, this may explain the exceptional frescoes and mosaics discovered there.

Image is an ancient Roman fresco of a bowl of figs. The detail of the woven basket has been captured by the artist to give it a sense of light and shade. The figs are arrayed in a substantial pile in the basket. The figs are varying shades of purple and green. The basket sits at the edge of an architectural motif in red against a blue background.

🥚🏺 Some #EasterArchaeology:

According written sources, #crucifixion was a common punishment for criminals and slaves in #AncientRome. By comparison, the archaeological evidence seems almost negligible.

🔎🦴 Here's a closer look at the modest archaeological evidence for #GoodFriday:
