  2. ✨Belated #MosaicMonday with a mosaic thought to personify Autumn✨

    We must confess to enjoying the long weekend and entirely missing Monday, but we’re back now! In our corner of the globe, autumn is upon us - though it might very well be the warmest autumn in quite some time. To honour the season, we offer this beautiful mosaic. It’s provenance is not ideal but it is thought to date to the 2nd to 3rd century CE.

  6. **‘Keseph’: The Use of Silver Money in the Southern Levant from the Middle Bronze Age to the End of the Iron Age (~ 2000–600 BC)**

    "_The Southern Levant saw significant use of silver during the final stages of the Middle Bronze Age, with the first silver-currency hoards appearing at Shiloh and Gezer (~ 1650/1600–1600/1550 BC), predating other regions. Although silver was temporarily replaced by gold in the Late Bronze Age, it re-emerged as the dominant form of money by the Late Bronze Age IIB, ~ 1300 BC, a status it retained until the end of the Iron Age (~ 600 BC), despite occasional shortages._"
