    This week something a bit unusual from the Archaeological Museum in Split and originally from Salona.
    It is the base of a glass mould to blow a rectangular bottle. The Inscription reads MISCENIUS AMPLIATUS FACIT SALONAS. It was made by Ampliatus - a name we know from other bottles. The unusual aspect: It has gladiators!
    But why? Was this a souvenir from the games?

  6. Via Studio Escalier:

    “Roman glass cup from the Himlingøje burial site in Denmark, from 2nd and 3rd century, found in graves of a rich or princely family. [Cups like this one] are so well-preserved that finders have used them mistakenly as vases for flowers, without realizing that they were ancient productions.”

  7. Because one can never get enough of ancient #RomanGlass, Here's two 1st c. BCE ribbed glass 'rippenschale' bowls with white trails, one cobalt blue, the other burgundy.

    Probably made in the eastern Mediterranean. #GettyVilla #archaeology #romanarchaeology

  8. A seriously difficult piece of ancient glass to photograph properly. This small 3rd-4th
    c. CE Roman glass vessel has *thirteen* handles. Some residue remains inside, and it probably came from a tomb somewhere in the eastern Mediterranean. #GettyVilla #ancientglass #RomanGlass

  9. Didn't have time to post yesterday for Rome's birthday. Traditionally, Rome's founding date is April 21, making Rome 2,775 years old. Here are images of ancient Roman glass in The Corning Museum of Glass.1. Mosaic glass bowl. Italy or East Mediterranean, 125-1 BCE. 2. Dish cover in the form of a fish. Probably Italy, 1st Century CE. 3. Wine pitcher with applique of a follower of Dionysus at the handle. Probably Italy, 50-75 CE. #ancientglass #Romanglass #antiquities #ancientart #arthistory

    Listed below are the longest commercial airport runways in the Nordic Region of Europe. A minimum runway length of 8,000 feet (2,438.4 m) was required for inclusion. As can be seen, runways of 8,202 feet in length are very common with nine such runways. As far as distribution by nation, the data is as follows:

    • Finland = 18
    • Norway = 13
    • Sweden = 13
    • Denmark = 9
    • Iceland = 2
    • Greenland = 1
    • Svalbard = 1
    • Faroe Islands = 0
    • Åland Islands = 0
    • Jan Mayen Island = 0

  13. ☃️ So, it's Christmas... And so, a map. Do you know Rovaniemi, a town in Laponia ? It's particularity is that the town itself looks like a deer :) Not sure if you can see the animal on that map but... 🗺️
