For this #HillfortsWednesday I show you the Castro de Viladonga, in Lugo (Galicia, Spain). It's one of the best excavated in Galicia. There's a Museum next to it with a very comprehensive and complete visitor center.

La construcción del Coliseo de Roma fue iniciada en el año 72 d. C., por Vespasiano y finalizada entre el 81 y el 96 d. C., durante el reinado de Domiciano.
Albergó combates de gladiadores, cacerías de animales salvajes y ejecuciones públicas.

"No physical [Roman] structures were ever found in Sunderland. One theory is they were part of a bridge pier. Although more research is needed, ... there were "clear parallels" with a Roman bridge in Cuijk in The Netherlands."

Returning from a week away with a #MosaicMonday from Somerset Museum. The East Coker mosaic. Showing two successful hunters carrying home a deer with their hunting dog. The hunters' clothing is typical of the second half of the 4th century AD.

Everybody likes a sailor. #MosaicMonday takes us to the Porto Fluviale or port of the #Tiber riverbank on the #Trastevere side across from #SanPaolofuorileMura. This #mosaic may have been part of a bath complex for the use of sailors and dock workers. #AncientBluesky 🏺

Some of the more memorable images also come from the Venus room in the form of these gladiators
If their proportions seems a little unusual even by Romano-British mosaic standards, thats because they are erotes (cupids)
hence, a little smaller

Detail of the Nile mosaic of Palestrina showing a trireme and a huge Egyptian bloke in a tiny boat. Uncertain in date, but probably somewhere around 100 BC, I'd reckon, judging by the subject matter and style. The mosaic that is, not the bloke in the boat.

The venus room is a triclinium with a hypocaust, leading to its description as the 'winter dining room'
mixed blessing, but because the floor has collapsed in the middle we get a view of the hypocaust

Something energetic for this #MosaicMonday: Lytras (a Thrax) fighting an opponent whose name and figure are partly lost, under the watchful eye of handsome Dareios.
In the House of the Gladiators at Kourion. 1/2

When talking to the emperor (or anyone) in ancient Rome, how would you address them?
Big Boy? Boss? Sir? Jules?
What do you think? Let me know, and tomorrow I'll take you through the minefield of speaking to someone without getting executed!

These are a couple of models of the site at its height in around 350 AD
You can see its a pretty grand country villa, it also would've had farmland extending around it
