Part of a #Roman Soldier's pay was in salt, the solarium argentum, from which we get the word for salary. A soldier’s salary was cut if he “was not worth his salt,” a phrase that we still use to this day. pic.twitter.com/tvd5P4xp3P

The major roads of the #Roman Empire, presented in a tube-style map by @sasha_trub , just an amazing way to envision the logistics of the ancient world (while noting that many journeys would be made by sea for preference) #MapMonday pic.twitter.com/VVd6ooMoZ7

After his death, the #Roman Emperor #Domitian was condemned by the Senate to Damnatio Memoriae - a public erasure of his memory, from melting coins & statues showing his face to erasing his name from inscriptions, as in this example from #RomanEgypt of the Legio III Cyrenaica pic.twitter.com/Rcwghx3Ol7

The #Roman Emperor #Domitian was assassinated #OTD AD96, stabbed to death by several members of his household staff. His body was taken from the palace & cremated by his nurse; his ashes were later secretly placed in the Flavian temple. pic.twitter.com/QZsbFfnljg

Peter Dutton, "person of integrity" one day.

So, in Anthony Cutler's words:
"Those who keep arguing for a #Roman or proto-#Byzantine origin of these pieces are just like those 18thC British scholars who were so seduced by classicism that they would insistently attribute to Rome marvellous things of local, northern origin" pic.twitter.com/PjE1e2VY3E

Trajan was a little rough on the Dacians (Romania), but a superb administrator and highly competent all around!
But didn't get hype that Julius Caesar received nor the negative hype of Nero

Beauty is in the details.
The stunning lapis lazuli head of a #Roman woman (possibly Livilla, sister of Emperor Claudius) was mounted on a small procession cross donated by Hermann and his sister Ida (grandchildren of Otto II & Theophanu) to the monastery of St. Maria im Kapitol. pic.twitter.com/qSPkOMhtQv

How long is an hour? - In the #Roman world they had 12 hours of day & 12 hours of night. In summer, the hours of the day were made longer & in winter the hours of the day were shorter. Minute" comes from the Latin pars minuta prima, meaning "first small part. pic.twitter.com/Xp3KASKKyb

Pope Gregory was not considered a saint before the 8thC, so we can be pretty sure this #ivory diptych cannot have been produced before!
This leads to new questions: why a pope (and a saint) was portrayed as a #Roman consul in the #Carolingian period?
