To bring a smile to your face, here’s an ancient Egyptian sketch of a cat serving a mouse! 😄
Some 3,000 years ago, the artist used a flake of limestone as a sketchpad for this fun scene.

We are in awe of the simple beauty that is captured by the artist that offers whet feels like reverence for nature. #FrescoFriday
✨Watch out, there’s a cat about!✨
You can never be too careful around the bird bath! These birds may be in for an unpleasant shock this #MosaicMonday

✨Minerva✨
What’s caught Minerva’s eye? We’re not sure, but she does seem worried… Maybe it’s something Hercules said. This fresco comes from the College of the Augustales, Herculaneum.

✨A bird’s paradise✨
This fresco detail includes a swallow (happy to stand corrected by folk with more bird knowledge!) and comes from the garden painting from the House of the Golden Bracelet, Pompeii.
✨We Built This City on Big Hewn Stones✨
Welcome back to Rome’s rebuilding era! The year 388 BCE is a time of Rome reasserting dominance, crafting fancy hewn stones for building works, and getting the citizen body back in order.
We take you through all the details (yes, Camillus is still making a star turn).
