Of all the architecture with which the devil is (per legend) credited with the construction, L'Aqüeducte Romà de les Ferreres might be the most impressive.

Nice work, Satan.

A possible Roman port has been dug up in the land behind a woman's home. The finds have come as a surprise to the owner. But it is thought that the site was the capital of the tribe Parisi.

#vendredilecture
J'ai fini de lire ce livre hier soir. Ce n'est pas vraiment un #polar. On soupçonne assez vite le coupable : il n'y a pas de rebondissements. Le meurtre de Marie, 17 ans, est prétexte à une immersion dans un village rural breton. Microcosme où tout le monde se connaît et a des inimitiés, etc... Marguerite, 10 ans, différente, mutique, harcelée à l'école, est la seule témoin. Mais personne ne le sait. Ce personnage fragile suscite l'empathie et l'attente chez le lecteur.
Les effets de style et certaines expressions anachroniques m'ont cependant gênée. #lectures #romans

🏛️ #Euronews claims #Romans had their own Google Maps, but it turns out they were just using #sundials and asking the nearest toga-wearing dude for directions to the beach 🏖️. Who knew all roads lead to "404: Ancient Path Not Found"? 😂

Still on the subject of my #Romans, I’ve forged four small culter knives; these are replicas of 1st- and 2nd-century #knives from the British Museum.
They measure 12 cm
The #steel is carbon steel, the handle is made of #boxwood. The rivets are brass. The decorations are filed by hand and blackened with charcoal after the handle has been oiled.
I’m not sure what they were used for – they’re quite small.

Archaeologists have found a beautiful Roman mosaic that was part of a Roman villa. The mosaic was underneath a farmer's field. The tiles feature a central flower design and was described as a 'dream' find. It is thought that the villa was part of a large estate. The farmer was shocked at the find as he'd never unearthed any artefacts over his long farming life.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2ky7k54y13o

Maître Môh – Marc GERARD – 2026 – Ed. Ex Aequo

Quatrième de couverture

Depuis de longues semaines, Lucas a cessé de parler. Plus un mot ! D’où vient ce mal étrange ? Est-ce par ce qu’il est, au quotidien, harcelé dans son collège par une brute épaisse ? L’adolescent trouve refuge sur une planète lointaine. Là, dans ce monde désertique, il est l’Élu, le Sauveur. Celui dont on boit les paroles. Il est le « Maître Môh » Mais peut-on ainsi fuir les réalités de la vie quotidienne et se réfugier très longtemps dans l’imaginaire ?

Mon Avis

Lucas est un jeune adolescent de treize ans. Souffre-douleur dans son collège, il est devenu du jour au lendemain mutique. Comme ça. Sans prévenir. Comment aurait-il pu le faire puisqu’il était très étonné de ne plus parler. Résultat? Visite chez un spécialiste afin qu’il trouve une solution à son mutisme. Cependant, Lucas est-il vraiment malade? Peut-être qu’il n’a pas envie de parler, tout simplement. Par contre, il est convoité par des êtres qui viennent de loin. De très loin. Ils veulent lui confier une mission. Laquelle? Acceptera il? Il n’a que treize ans et il ne peut pas s’exprimer. Mais, à cet âge, la curiosité est très forte. Comment faire pour s’éclipser sans que personne ne s’en rende compte? Surtout pas K.K. son tortionnaire.

Le harcèlement scolaire est l’un des sujets de ce roman. Un harcèlement vécu par la victime. C’est un appel à la tolérance. Au respect de la différence. De plus, le jeune lecteur apprend que le handicap n’est pas signe d’incapacité totale. Chaque humain a un domaine qui lui permet de briller. Chacun sa voie. L’histoire est rendue fluide par une plume simple qui rend hommage à la résilience. L’aventure du jeune Lucas fait voyager dans l’imaginaire. La description des personnages est très réaliste. Ce qui rend la lecture agréable. Le jeune lecteur voyage tout en découvrant des leçons de vie qui vont peut être changer son quotidien. Sinon le faire réfléchir aux actes qu’il pose.

Le handicap est souvent une cause de désocialisation de l’humain. Du fait de ne pas correspondre à l’idéal d’une société eugéniste. Du fait de la peur du regard des autres. Du fait de ne pas pouvoir agir comme les autres. Dans la société, cela peut devenir un sujet de harcèlement, tel celui vécu par Lucas. Nul n’est prophète en son pays. Par contre, ailleurs… Lucas ne se défend pas face à ses harceleurs. Pour combien de temps? Tous les humains ont leurs limites. Certains devraient le savoir. Tout être humain a un savoir-faire différent des autres. Ce que le lecteur découvrira au fil des pages. Telle est l’histoire de Lucas, le jeune homme qui ne savait plus parler. Une histoire belle qui met en avant l’amitié et l’acceptation de l’autre, dans sa différence.

Venetia et Histria

The name Venice comes from the Roman district of Venetia, and that name, in turn, from the first known inhabitants of the area, the tribe of the Veneti or Venetici.

The Veneti people were as indigenous as was possible in Europe.

Archaeological evidence indicates that they lived in parts of the north-east of the Italian peninsula already in the Bronze Age.
