    Well done Sonic! I feel your pain for indexing. Haha, thin ice!

    I would have bought that, had the holes been the same size. Anyway I will not guess on its purpose; there has been PhD's written on the subject and I have seen two pictures.

    I guess, but I also believe (although we can clearly see in this thread that I do not know much about Serapis) that the god represents one of the early stages of the monotheistic flows that was to become more and more common in the empire.

    I must say that I'm most impressed by Dr. H

    Doesn't work for me either.

    Several topics merged. Thanks to Ursus for his short essay on the subject!

    This might be worth to take a look at when I'm off to Rome!

    Well, I can't but agree. We know far less about the past than what our textbooks would have us believe.

    They do? I was about to say damn it, but well, with 42 midgets on the stake, I'm actually glad that it wasn't true.

    Tickets had been sold-out three weeks before the much anticipated fight, which took place in the city of K

    I guess that depends on how the pilot is received; they didn't renewed Game of Thrones for a second season until they saw the reactions.

    You've got a good point with the mythology there; the swan is a typical example (Leda and the Swan), the bull likewise (although I've read somewhere about a episode with a bull in the arena). Zeus had a fetish for that kind of stuff. Then again, the Romans had a thing for recreating myths in the arena, executing prisoners as if they were (failed) mythical heroes, e.g. Icarus and Orpheus.

    I had no clue. Would you have a reference? It sounds like something I ought to taking a look at.

    Go HBO!

    Do you think that you could post a couple of those pictures? I've never worked with Roman tiles from the UK, but I know what to look after in the Mediterranean.

    Very interesting, I'll try to find the passage they're talking about. But I wish that they would just leave a reference?
  18. Klingan
    Not bad!

    Roman history in threeish minutes.

    It was opened last spring when I went there; they have some truly amazing pieces!

    The greatest repository of ancient Greek art

    Well done Viggen!

    I (kind of) know the Author of Greek City Walls of the Archaic Period, 900-480 BC. He's very proud of that book and very eager to advertise it.

    I know that they develop a patina over time and I have, when excavating, noticed the pearly color you're talking about - it almost looks like they're drenched in solidified oil. But I have never heard of a color change. Very interesting. More general on colors; I'm taught that a light Green was, from what I understand, and is, the original color of glass. Truly transparent pieces would therefor represent a higher quality type (as would other colors).
