  9. Super spannende Rezension zu einem Buch, das erstmals die Geschichte Skandinaviens als Region am Rande des Imperiums rekonstruiert. Man erfährt die coolsten Dinge & wird schlauer was Methodologie für so prä-schreibende Kulturen angeht. Und ja: Eisbären im Kolosseum.

  12. I finally managed to visit the #Archaeological #Museum of #Frankfurt again, and this time I was able to see the recently discovered #Christian amulet presented one year earlier. I've updated my post on the amulet with some photos I took during my visit. The amulet is now part of the permanent collection. If you are in the city, I highly recommend visiting it.

    Archaeologists in Ostia Antica, the ancient port city near Rome, have made an amazing discovery—a Mikveh, a Jewish ritual bath, from the late 4th or early 5th century CE. This is a new discovery about the long-standing Jewish community in Ostia, and it’s the oldest Mikveh outside of Israel...
