A spotaneous reminder that ancient #Roman launderers collected urine from public toilets to wash clothes in, before treading on the urine-soaked clothing to clean it. A real piss take.

An incredibly rare glass portrait of a man from Roman Egypt. The face of the young man wearing the golden wreath is not painted but crafted in mosaic glass, made by intricately fusing together glass canes of varied colours. 2nd century AD, Bertolami Fine Arts.

Welcome to August, the second month named after a human being: Gaius Octavius, heir to Julius Caesar, last man standing in a brutal civil war. He became princeps, was granted the title Augustus by the senate, and declared divine upon his death.
