La troballa del fòrum romà de Bàrcino ha aixecat molta polseguera i una discussió molt encesa entre els arqueòlegs. Molt a favor que hi hagi més debats com el d'ahir. Us regalo aquest article ara.cat/cultura/patrim…

#archéologie: découverte dans le lac de #Neufchatel d'une épave d'un navire marchand romain datant entre l’an 20 et 50 après J.-C. Sa cargaison est composée de plusieurs centaines de coupes, de bols, d’assiettes et de plats en céramiques, mais aussi des grandes amphores à huile d’olive importées d’Espagne. Toutefois la présence d'harnachements et de roues bien conservées, témoignent de la présence d'un chariot à bord, peut être pour poursuivre le transport après le port. Mais la présence d'armes, des glaives, et des élements de ceinturon (cingullum), laissent aussi penser à une escorte militaire de soldats romains à bord. Les raisons du naufrage ne sont pas encore claires, mais il est possible qu’il soit dû à "un coup de Joran", ces bourrasques venues des crêtes du Jura qui, aujourd’hui encore, surprennent les plaisanciers et retournent parfois leurs voiliers. 📸 Fobdation Octopus, Lausanne

🗺️ The battlefield traditionally associated with the Trojan War is described in the Iliad, attributed to Homer (traditionally dated c. 8th century BCE). The narrative situates the conflict between the Achaean coalition and the defenders of Troy on the coastal plain below the fortified city, widely identified with the archaeological site of Troy (Hisarlık) in northwestern Anatolia, near the Dardanelles. In the Late Bronze Age context (c. 1600–1200 BCE), the shoreline lay significantly closer to the city than today due to later sediment accumulation. The plain described in the epic stretches from Troy’s walls to the Achaean camp and ships along the coast, forming the central arena for many of the battles narrated in the poem. Modern geological and archaeological research, including sediment analysis of the Scamander River and Simois River systems, has helped reconstruct the Late Bronze Age landscape around c. 1200 BCE. These studies suggest the presence of a dynamic river delta with marshlands and shifting channels that would have influenced movement and combat on the plain, broadly consistent with Homeric descriptions. The era corresponds to the wider Bronze Age Collapse (c. 1200–1150 BCE), a period of widespread upheaval across the eastern Mediterranean. Whether the Trojan War reflects a historical conflict, a composite memory of regional struggles, or a mythic tradition shaped by later storytelling, the geography of the Troad provides an environmental framework through which the epic narrative can be interpreted. 🗺️ Map created by Simeon Netchev.  #TrojanWar #Troy #Iliad #Homer #Anatolia #BronzeAge #History #AncientHistory #Maps #Map

The museum associated with the site at Delphi is home to many unique finds. Here, Apollo is often depicted as the god of music with an instrument. Rare chryselephantine figures depict Apollo and Artemis and another pair of siblings are the kouroi from Argos of mythical brothers.

A detail of the Apollo Gitarodos bronze statue, which was unearthed in the ancient city of Pompeii.

For a period of roughly 1000 years after 3600 BC, the architects of Uruk utilized a system of colored clay pegs to create mosaics on the outer walls of monumental structures in the Eanna Precinct of the city. The vast majority of these buildings were mudbrick which not only served an aesthetic purpose but also lent extra structural support to the walls. The primary exception to this was the Stone Cone Building. This structure was made from poured lime concreted with ceramic aggregation. In this case, limestone cones of multiple colors were embedded into the wall. Loose clay cones have been found at a number of other sites from the Uruk period into the early dynastic period.
