[Up Pompeii: British comedy series]

How did I miss this post? I think I remember finding this series years ago, but I will go to You Tube and find the episodes. Thanks for sharing.

[Roman gold hoard hidden from Alans found in Spain]

So, the coins were found in the remains of a ship wreck? or buried in ground that later became under water? I'm confused. 

[Video on visit to the newly-opened Mausoleum Augustus]

I too would like to see this.  Hope you are able to do so soon and give us a trip report with photos.

[Modern-day Pompeii at La Palma Island, Spain]

Wow.

[Dining and fast food in Ancient Rome]

Very fun and informative.

[Byzantine pharmacy discovered]

Very interesting.

[Pompeii painting exhibit in Oklahoma City Museum]

I also hope the exhibit travels closer to home.

I forget what year it was, but I went to New York City alone to see the Pompeii exhibit at the Met (?). Geeze, it's been so long ago I actually forget.  Drove my broken down Chevy to the Cleveland Airport, my  mom was worried to death about me (only found out about that years later). 

I do remember that at the last moment there were some pieces of the exhibit that were not allowed to come to NYC. 

[Cartoon: Ancient Grammar Police]

ha.

[Roman coin search in Britain during the pandemic]

Now that would be addictive. 

Ok, I want to know why these coins are being found in this field? Was it once a trading center? A village, battlefield?  Why different eras? 

[Pompeii walk]

Pretty sure this is the five hour walking tour I sat and watched...well, for five hours. Ate my dinner on a tray in front of the computer.  Altho, it seems like it was 2019, not 2020.  Either way, I found it very enjoyable because I'll never get there in person.

Guy, sorry about your foot!

[Rome reconstructed]

This is great.  Will have to bookmark and watch the rest later. Thanks for posting this.

I thought it was very well done, but captions would have helped a lot.

[Extinct 2000 year Judean date tree revived]

This is remarkable. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[Emperor, Imperator]

I enjoyed it, thanks.

[Lions used in executions in Britain?]

Isn't there a famous mural that has in within it a depiction of a man tied to a pole and a lion biting (or about to bite) his face?  It always gave me the shudders. Imagine the horror of the moment.

[Emperor, Imperator]

Bookmarked for later, thanks for sharing.

[Roman Basilica found dating to reign of Herod the Great in Ashkelon]

Wonderful.

[What Ancient Greek Olympians ate]

You find the most interesting topics!

[King Tut’s mask Intended for woman]

Tombs were built with a left hand turn for a male. Tut's tomb has a right hand turn

Never heard of this before, interesting. Thanks.

[What did the ancient Romans eat?]

I binged watched The Supersizers videos one year. I remember the Roman one. Hilarious. Love Sue Perkins. 

[Stone discovered outlining Rome‘s City Limit]

I don't quite understand. Was the stone part of a wall or did it stand alone at the edge of the city?

[King Tut’s mask Intended for woman]

I've always believed this to be true.

[Pompeii Dining exhibit in San Francisco]

Oh how interesting.  I wonder if the exhibit will tour beyond San Francisco, like the Cleveland Museum in Cleveland Ohio perhaps?? Wishful thinking.

Thanks for sharing. I've never seen the passing out of bread fresco online anywhere before.

[Better teeth in Ancient Rome than today]

Too late for me. My teeth, what I have left, are nothing to brag about. : )   Altho a change in diet wouldn't hurt at all, mainly sugars. ugh.

[Vindolanda: naked horseman statue]

I would very much like to visit this site. I bet the museum contains wonderful items.  One of the sub articles listed mentioned a "furry dog" remains. That was incredible to read and see the photo of the patch of fur.

[Good one]
