when your rich friend got gossip

Devastated to hear of the passing of Iasos, a man that made truly joyful music. I was lucky enough to see him perform in Athens last year and it was a performance that really touched my soul in its almost silly sincerity and beautiful lack of cynicism. youtu.be/5-QR5_58xPk?si=UNaQ…

I love that the Byzantine Museum in Thessaloniki uses mosaics for signage. So on brand

@ChryssoCosmas and I made a traditional Cypriot stool at a heartland of legends workshop. No nails or glue and it’s made from foraged giant fennel stalks and fixed together with twigs from a mastic tree. All made without power tools. Not to be immodest but I’m beyond proud of it!

✨ bonus object ✨ This is a lead weight inscribed with the name and position of an officer who administered a Roman market. So basically, is this is an ancient Roman lanyard???

a few more highlights from the Classical and Roman period; ‘Hot-water-bottle man’ comprised of different vessels to place over different body parts for a warm compress, a glass fish bottle, a lovely glass stirring rod and a guy playing a double flute situation…

I love this magical amulet with a palindrome inscription. @crewsproject @ShoniBLD do you know what it means? Does it make sense? It reminds me of @PhilipJBoyes magic of writing talk at the Crews conference. I wonder it the palindromic nature activates the magic…

there’s a plentiful collection of oil lamps which look to be produced from moulds, although at least one of them couldn’t really be described as ‘intact’… must have been fun parties at the house of Dionysus though…
