This is a video I did with Classical Numismatists on Mithradates VI. One of the most interesting people in history. Absolutely should give it a watch!

My non-fiction rec this month is First Principles by Thomas E. Ricks. I loved reading about the Classical education available in Colonial American and how that impacted Madison, Washington, Jefferson, and John Adams. #classicsbluesky #historybluesky

Beneath the Royal Alcázar of Seville 🏛️✨

​Legend says King Pedro I’s beautiful mistress bathed in these waters to escape the Andalusian heat.

​A perfect blend of medieval engineering and romantic myth, preserved in a flawless reflection. 🇪🇸

The road to dictatorship is an interesting one. The path for Julius Caesar was much different than others, but there is much that can understood from his. Coins are a great way to learn about this subject! Follow me to learn!

All I can think about when I read about Porphyrios is the killer whales who go around sinking yachts. Seems that whale class solidarity is a surprisingly consistent historical trend?
Anyway excited to explore Porphyrios and more Byzantine animals in 2025! #byzantinebluesky #historybluesky

mine will always be the sperm whale who reacted to a Roman soldier throwing a bottle at him off the Byzantine coast by sinking every ship he could off that coast for the next 60 years and had the emperor declare him an enemy of the state and name him after the Titan who attacked mount olympus

About once a week I think fondly of my personal icon, the elephant who trampled a woman and then came back later to trample her some more at her funeral.

Mistletoe, with olive and an adorable snail, from the 'Tudor pattern book' produced in England sometime between 1520-30. Held in the Bodleian Library, MS Ashmole 1504.

A safe and healthy Christmas to all who celebrate.

A manuscript from the 1500s, with mistletoe and olive drawn and coloured delicately, plus a small plant with pink flowers, a cheerful bird, a fly, and a snail who looks frankly lost.

A collection for #HelmetThursday. Tiverton Castle is home to many #armour pieces, including a lovely range of helmets, some from the #Roundheads and #Cavaliers. The castle isn't open everyday, but is well priced and worth a visit for the armour (and gardens).

The Wellington reredos for #ReliefWednesday. It likely stood behind the high altar of St. John's church and was richly coloured. They were defaced at the Reformation (1540s), and later, it was taken down and used as paving around the altar.
