Roman brooch before and after conservation. Fragmented it required a little TLC to get the pin back together and reattached. Love the enamel, just like the day it was made. #roman archaeology #Archaeology #ArchaeologicalConservation #jewellery #roman #roman artifacts

Broch's are Iron Age defensive structures unique to #Scotland & Dun Mara broch on the Isle of Lewis is one that is dramatically located. All that survives are the traces of the structure that once stood here. Several broch's can be found across the Outer Hebrides

The space between spaces.

A little game of jostling black and white designs in a mosaic threshold that appears to have been laid in two phases in the grand Roman Villa of San Marco, #Stabiae .
The white mosaic forms the floor of an elegant two-sided portico.

Several pictures stitched together to give an overhead view of the mosaic in the anteroom to the Grand Dining Room at Chedworth. Guests would assemble here before dinner. #mosaics #mosaicmonday

It's been great to be behind a camera again
