Sensational find: Archaeologists recover 1000 objects from Swiss lake

In Lake Neuchâtel in Switzerland, archaeologists have recovered a shipload of more than 1,000 very well preserved ceramic artefacts and swords dating from 20 to 50 AD. To avoid looting, the spectacular find was initially kept secret.

Timeline cleanse!

An adorable #Roman bronze figurine of a dormouse holding a nut (height 2.7 cm).
The edible dormouse was a delicacy in Roman times. It was considered a dish of the rich and a symbol of prosperity.

From Oberstimm, Bavaria, ca. 100 AD.

On display at Archäologische Staatssammlung München.

Campaigning in Roman times: For #FrescoFriday a painting from Pompeii that was long believed to show the sale of bread. It's thought now to be the free distribution of bread ahead of an election by a politician in a white toga.

For #RomanFortThursday, a little ancient Scrabble: bronze letters from an inscription found at the Roman fort of Schirenhof near Schwäbisch Gmünd. Built around AD 160, the fort was abandoned in the mid-3rd century AD. It was the base of the Cohors I Raetorum, an auxiliary unit of about 500 men.
