#ancient #roman #mosaic showing a labyrinth surrounded by a city wall, discovered near San Giovanni in #rome #archaeology #ancienthistory

A #Roman #Egyptian rag-doll made from linen and stuffed with flexible material (rag?), wearing linen garments. Her hair is made of human hair. The eyes, eyebrows, and mouth are painted on.
The doll is one of the most elaborate of its kind and presumably belonged to a child from a wealthy family: She's wearing gold earrings and a neck ring and bracelets made of gilded leather.
Egypt,  #Roman period,  2nd c. AD.

These #Roman glass spherical bottles would make great #Christmas baubles🎄, but they were used to hold perfume and loose powder. The contents were sealed inside the delicate cosmetic containers and a small knob at the top had to be broken off to remove the oil/powder.
Found in Trier, dating 1st/2nd century AD.

A very stylish #Roman woman's shoe with a decorative pattern punched into the leather. Found in a well in the civilian settlement of the Saalburg fort. The damp environment preserved the shoe in a very good condition.
Dating 2nd century AD.

Il est décrit comme une rupture dans l'art du roman, mais je le trouve très en retrait par rapport à des oeuvres qui lui sont contemporaines. Notamment en anglais, Ulysses (1922), Mrs Dalloway (1925), même si tous deux n'ont été traduits qu'en 29. Mais même en français, presque toute La Recherche était déjà parue... Là je vois une intrigue cousue de fil blanc (sans doute de façon volontaire ?) et si je comprends cette volonté d'innover par l'ampleur "en largeur" du roman, par les relations multiples entre personnages, explicitée dans le roman lui-même, je trouve la réalisation sans grande envergure...
