@pete_savin Good job, Pete. Wouldn't have been possible to see if the photo was too grainy.

Did anyone spot the Roman altar in BBC’s Wolf Hall this weekend as they shot on location at #HaddonHall. The dedication by Quintus Sittius Caecilianus is to a romanised god Mars Braciaca (god of malt) obviously a cereal warmonger. #RIB278

@Pottedhistory @VindolandaTrust Not the real thing, but a costrel is depicted on this funerary inscription (RIB 682) now in the Yorkshire Museum. romaninscriptionsofbritain.org/inscriptions/6…

Something a little different to go in the replica kiln firing @VindolandaTrust on Saturday 6th April, a Roman flagon or costrel, based on one found Corbridge #Arcaeology

@DavidPetts1 @DrJEBall Found in Rome in 1999 in the Piazza Euclide near a fountain of Anna Perenna. (L'Année Epigraphique 2010, 216)

@DrJEBall Where is this from?

A #Roman lead curse tablet, which directed divine ill-will towards a man named Antonius, who is also seemingly pictured on the tablet, & named twice. The curse was laid on him about 1600-1700 years ago - but the curse sadly does not tell us what he had done... #Archaeology

@SoVeryBritish Surprised no one has yet mentioned Morris dancing.

@athertoncharvat @ajmb1 More information about this inscribed pot can be found on Roman Inscriptions of Britain Online romaninscriptionsofbritain.org/inscriptions/2…

Does anyone know where RIB 1984 currently is? It's the Castlesteads altar dedicated to IOM&genius loci. We're hunting for a colour image for RIB Online. Thank you! @duxBritanniarum @W_Epigraphy @pete_savin @ClassicsNCL @Wall_CAP @VindolandaTrust romaninscriptionsofbritain.org/inscriptions/1…

@wallcurator @TWAMmuseums The dentist who owned the chair was probably less favorably impressed with it.

How cool is this graffiti on a dentist chair @TWAMmuseums Discovery Museum I spotted today! Didn't have chance to find out much as Nieve was off, but bet there are some fascinating stories linked to this piece

Hi, @ajdaubney. Can you please DM me? The email addy I have for you is no longer working. Thanks!

@KateSFWriter "For Publius Marcius Messianus, son of Publius, of the Tromentina tribe, Varius Festus, his heir set up (this monument) according to his will, the location have been given by the decree of the councillors." [2/2]

@KateSFWriter Perhaps this: P(ublio) Marcio | P(ublio) f(ilius) Trom(entina) | Messiano | Varius Fes|tus heres | ex testam(ento) | posuit | l(ocus) d(atus) d(ecurionem) d(ecreto) [1/2]

Okay #Archaeology and #Epigraphy people. Can anyone translate this inscription please - it’s in Cavtat, Croatia 🇭🇷

@DocCrom @EquipmentRoman A legionary of legio VIII Augusta, Dubitatus was a long way from his home base at Argentoratum (modern Strasbourg). A vexillatio from leg. VIII was dispatched to Britannia during Hadrian's reign, which was likely when his shield ended up in the Tyne. romaninscriptionsofbritain.org/inscriptions/2…

@TrimontiumTrust 🤨One day this urban legend will die, but apparently not quite yet. kiwihellenist.blogspot.com/2017/01/salt-a…

Part of a #Roman Soldier's pay was in salt, the solarium argentum, from which we get the word for salary. A soldier’s salary was cut if he “was not worth his salt,” a phrase that we still use to this day.

@pete_savin @archae_delle Oh, there are just a few tasters up at the moment. The rest of RIB II will start coming out in tranches starting in the new year, and I'm aiming to complete the roll-out by summer.

@Sarcanon @archae_delle Hi Scott you kept your work on RIB 2 quiet, great work 👍🏻

Yesterday whilst looking through our pottery stores, Clara found this Roman jar with graffiti on the bottom that reads ‘Gaius the Fish-Eater’ with a drawing of an animal, possibly an otter 🦦 Did this hold pet food? SO CUTE Found during dredging in the Irish Sea #FindsFriday

@pete_savin Presumably no reading material either?

I’ve found the smallest room in the Roman villa sadly out of order and lacking a sponge on a stick 🧻 #DesenzanodelGarda #spendapenny #Italy

A really insightful analysis of a tombstone found in the northernmost reaches of the Roman empire by a Palmyrene man for his British freedwoman wife and what it can tell mobility and the complex interactions of a multilingual society.
