For #RomanRoadsFriday a section of the 'Via delle Gallie' in Donnas, Val d’Aosta, Italy. The wheel ruts are still visible. The arch was carved into the rock.
The road that was built under Augustus. It began at Mediolanum, present-day Milan, and passed through Augusta Eporedia, Ivrea, where it divided into two branches at Augusta Praetoria, Aosta.
One branch led to Lugdunum, Lyon in France, the other to Octodurus, Martigny in Switzerland.
Fascinating world of ancient #glass: an amazing #Roman glass garland bowl, that represents a peak of Roman glassmaker’s skill at producing vessels. Very few ancient vessels were made of large sections or bands of different colored glass, and this is the only known example that combines the technique with millefiori (mosaik glass) decoration. Dating late 1st century BC.

For #TilesOnTuesday the floor of St. Nikolaus at Ruffenhofen, Franconia. The church, located 600 m northwest of the Roman fort in Ruffenhofen, was built in the 13th century with building material taken from the fort. The floor was paved with #Roman tiles.

I love dodecahedrons, okay? And I am upset that Mathstodon is underlining that word. Perhaps I don't have the right dictionary installed
@AlecSteele why would YOU make so many of these?
The Roman Dodecahedron Debate Nobody Expected
NovetusToday, we would like to introduce you to our colleague Thomas Weniger: He uncovered numerous #skeletons during the #excavation of the #Roman #massgrave. With great patience and precision, he freed the individual skeletons from the surrounding earth by hand - supported by fine tools and a hoover to carefully remove the earth. A job that requires a sure instinct!
