The Bacchus mosaic from Stonesfield #Roman villa uncovered in 1712 and subsequently destroyed by souvenir hunters, was featured in this amazing 18th c embroidery looked after by the wonderful @OxonMuseum (the most Oxfordshireist museum in Oxfordshire 😁)

For #HillfortsWednesday here's a short thread on a site that we love to bits: the simply stunning Hengistbury Head 😍🤩 @hengistburyvc @BCPCouncil
Iron Age trade centre and prehistoric gateway to the world 👇👇
Images of the #Roman mansio of Alfoldean #WestSussex reconstructed by the late great Victor Ambrus
The 3 days spent digging here in 2005 for @thetimeteam were very (very very very) wet, but Victor kept drawing, sketching and painting throughout
#RomanFortThursday
No one (in our humble opinion) captured a #Broch like Victor Ambrus
Here's Applecross / A'Chomraich #Highland for #HillfortsWednesday
Stunning. Absolutely stunning..
RIP Victor Ambrus
A true gentleman and an exceptional talent
Farewell my friend xx
@MartinB_Archaeo @archaeoart @fen_ken @MatthewPope @Sarah_May1 @DavidPetts1 Wish we had the money for reconstruction art (!) but, if it helps, the artists who have recently caught our eye include (in no particular order)

Thinking of making this into a T shirt
Don't know why - just seems appropriate for some reason....

Today Banbury hillfort #Dorset is largely inaccessible and damaged by centuries of agricultural attrition. The ramparts survive in places to 2m high and the site still dominates the Stour Valley
It has never been excavated
