Going to attempt a number of archaeological illustrations today in preparation for some primary school talks. A selection of Roman finds and their uses… but with pizazz 🌈 #ancientbluesky #classicsbluesky
I don’t know why people bother with cocaine when KP Salted Peanuts exist.
An iron age copper alloy arrow-head. Produced in the 11th century BC, found in Barouk. Engraved in Alphabetic Phoenician. Measuring 9.15cm by 1.65cm.
Something a little different for #EpigraphyTuesday. An iron age arrow-head from Barouk, inscribed in Phoenician 'Arrow of Ada, son of Ba'la.' The Phoenicians were a key Mediterranean influence but often sadly overlooked within scholarship.

Battle of Bosworth sesh today 🛡️ ⚔️ 👑 #richardiii #carparkking #tudorhistory #warsoftheroses #plantagenets
Men went into battle and you won’t even take out the bloody bins.
Stunning shot 📸 I’ve never been!
Currently nap trapped… while the dog whines at the door waiting for walkies. This is the type of stress I live for and makes me 100% certain I made the decision not to return to work post 4th baby.
Roblox is tricky. I make sure I’m around if my [3rd eldest] kid is playing, so I can keep an eye on what’s going on there… and what she wants to play etc.

Ok guys I *think* we have a Roman spear head.
Bronze… spear ish? Any ideas? (Banana for scale). #metaldetecting #ancientbluesky #bronzeage please share!
So pleased for you. Were you nervous? Or is that a ridiculous question 😆
Well done - that’s brilliant 👏🏼
Brilliant news on a Friday afternoon: gov will launch new natural history GCSE. It's taken Mary Colwell, @carolinelucas.bsky.social & others years of campaigning. (I'm praying it'll be introduced quickly enough for my children!)

No don’t! Big fan of pedantry 😂👍🏼
Oh I suppose it is tbh 👍🏼 I live close and we always call it Derbyshire… as people in Breedon tend to go Derby way as opposed to NW Leics way if that makes sense 😆
Oosh.
…and some FINE examples of Saxon carvings
There’s nothing quite like stomping around atop an Iron Age hill fort at Breedon on the Hill, Derbyshire in the heart of ancient Mercia⚔️later a monastery then a church; ‘Briudun’ according to the 7th C Anglo Saxon Chronicle, meaning ‘a hill’ and ‘the hill’. So it’s really ‘A Hill Hill on the Hill’😆
Because I'm updating them today, I'd like to remind #AncientBluesky that we have *FREELY ACCESSIBLE* Ancient Greek resources at the Open University! 🏺
First, we have a 16 hour free OpenLearn course, which takes you from learning the alphabet to reading simple sentences: www.open.edu/openlearn/hi...
I’ve done some digging as I was curious. It looks like grade 2 pass is the equivalent of an upper second, so a 2:1 for undergraduate. Or, a pass with merit for PG. Do let me know though as I may be wrong 😆😭
Bluesky?
Please recommend me a thorough, up-to-date history of the Ottoman Empire that I can read before visiting Istanbul this summer.
