After a decade behind scaffolding and barriers during the construction of the new metro station, the four 1930s maps of the #ancient #roman empire, from its foundation to extent under the emperor Trajan, are again visible on Via dei Fori Imperiali. A fifth map of Mussolini’s new empire was removed long ago. #rome #ancientrome #romanempire #ancienthistory #archaeology
Beloved #toys: a pair of #Roman ivory #dolls with articulated arms and legs found in a tomb of a little #girl from a wealthy family in Emona, Ljubljana/#Slovenia. The majority of the dolls in Roman times were made of less valuable materials such as clay, wood or linen.
The two dolls that could be dressed with clothes must have been very precious to the girl who died far too young.
Dating 2nd half of the 3rd c. AD.
