One of the finest depictions of the #Caburn / #MountCaburn #hillfort #EastSussex is also by one of our favourite artists, Eric Ravilious, a view from his studio in 1935 which, minus the horse-drawn ploughs, is as just as familiar today 🤩

A #Roman villa was unearthed at East Coker #Somerset in 1753 and again in 1820
Sadly the walls were robbed for stone and the mosaics stolen but some record of their grandeur survives
A thread for #MosaicMonday
A Roman mosaic was discovered at #Wellow #Somerset in 1685 and recorded by John Aubrey
His drawing shows incredible detail for the period AND includes a scale ! 🤩😍
It is possible the central panel contained an image of #Orpheus

@MartinB_Archaeo @SueGreaney @TimothyDaw @artefactual_KW Surely it was both? 😁
@IsabelMathiasPR @profdanhicks It is certainly one of the best 😁
My favourite running gag from #AsterixinBritain relates to the correct temperature of beer
vive la différence 🍻
@MartynBarber2 @DawnCansfield @lornarichardson I had (and still have) the Ladybird book of Julius Caesar AND Roman Britain
The one with Boudicca arriving at Colchester in a wedding dress and the Romans napalm-bombing Stonehenge
@IsabelMathiasPR We've always got time for Caratacus / Caradoc (have we mentioned that before???)
Artist Angus McBride was very fond of both the Battersea Shield and the Waterloo Helmet @britishmuseum - here king #Cassivellaunus wears them as PPE going into battle on his chariot against the legions of #Caesar in 54 BC
