🔺️Explore the "Pyramid of Hellinikon" (Πυραμίδα του Ελληνικού), a monument in #Greece, situated along the ancient road to Tegea.
37°35′14″N 22°40′17″E.

Archaeologists have debated its origin and purpose. Although in late antiquity, Pausanias referred to a local "polyandrion"(πολυάνδριον/ collective burial mound), today it is regarded as a fortified watchtower (pyrgion/πυργίον) or a fire-signal tower (fryktoria/φρυκτωρία).

Today was unboxing day for my book on Venantius Fortunatus! I'm incredibly happy, and frankly relieved, finally to see it in print. Cream Cheese here played my desk gargoyle through much of the writing.

#Italy museum designed for blind, visually impaired visitors

At Italy’s #Omero #Museum in Ancona, #art can be explored through touch.

Designed with #blind & #visually #impaired visitors in mind, museum allows feeling replicas of world-famous #sculptures, #architectural #models, #artworks spanning from #antiquity to present

The institution challenges traditional “Do not touch” museum rule & aims to make #culture more accessible
