A dangerously disgruntled Dolphin for #MosaicMonday 🐬🐬

From a 4th century #Roman townhouse found beneath Little Minster Street #Winchester in 1878 and now in the excellent @WinchCityMuseum 🤩👍

@Hillfortian You say that but these Ram Parts are quite steep too

The Anglo Saxon Chronicle notes in AD 552 *Cynric fought against the Britons at Searobyrig [Old Sarum] and put the Britons to flight*

As Cynric is a British name this may be a hazy remembrance of post Roman civil conflict

The East gate to Old Sarum hillfort imaginatively recreated by Peter Dunn for @EHOldSarum

Before you ask, archaeological evidence for severed heads and totem poles is *limited* but adds an atmosphere

The Iron Age welcome appears less friendly than today 😱

Was the lost image at the centre of the Fifehead Neville #Roman mosaic originally Minerva wearing a helmet or Bacchus with a staff?

Alternatively, given the Hinton St Mary mosaic (now @britishmuseum) was found only 6km away, could this also have depicted Christ?

#MosaicMonday

The Fifehead Neville 4th c mosaic from #Dorset was recorded by Mary Hartley

Her painting, now in @DorsetMuseum shows a central portrait, presumably a deity

Unfortunately this is the only record we have, the image being taken by souvenir hunters shortly after

Iron Age activity at the centre of Danebury hillfort is a little more difficult to reconstruct

Here in an image from the 1986 @hantsconnect guide © David Salariya memorably depicts a pony being taken to *meet its maker* at the central shrines 😱

These evocative recreations © David Salariya for the 1986 @hantsconnect guide to Danebury hillfort #Hampshire convey a sense of everyday Iron Age life 🤩 (although I confess the cutaway effect of the storage pit in the last image hurts my head a tad)

The east gate of Danebury hillfort around 100 BC, at the moment of speculative attack, is depicted in this reconstruction painting by Karen Guffogg for the excellent 1993 @BatsfordBooks @EnglishHeritage book on Danebury by Barry Cunliffe
