Something fishy

A detail of a very fragmentary Coptic plate, probably of the 5th century, the team has found at the Paphos theatre site in Cyprus from post-theatre contexts. It was quite smashed up before amazing conservation work by the team.

The ancient theatre of Paphos in Cyprus at sunset on 30 September 2025

The reused column incorporated into the theatre’s containment wall was engraved with the name Eustorgis in Late Antiquity

Well, Heidi Klum and her husband win #ClassicalHalloween, hands-down. There are no other contenders. The makeup artists who created the makeup and prosthetics for this #Medusa and stoned victim should be given all the awards. 👏 👏 👏 🏆 🏺 #ClassicalBluesky

Closeup of Heidi Klum as Medusa, snakes emerging from her head, which is scaly and green, as is her body. She has yellow slitted eyes - again, like a snake - and her tongue is striped and forked. Absolutely frightening. Heidi Klum and her husband, Tom Kaulitz. Klum is a giant snake (a rattler!) with a human upper half and holds a recurved bow and arrow. Kaulitz is a Greek soldier turned to stone, holding his shield and sword defensively. Bravo!

This is an incredible video on a medallion I owned that represented Constantine’s Eyes to God. Incredible rarity and beauty!

New book! Dr Rosa Andújar's 'Playing the Chorus in Greek Tragedy' explores these versatile choral performances, moving beyond the group-sung odes to encompass their broader polymorphic and polyphonic capabilities across the fifth century BCE.

Today's delve into my photos is of a few panels on the Ara Pacis. Beautifully detailed the site was surprisingly quiet, perhaps everyone was sweating in the Forum that day.

Finally had #Medusa hung in my office. Fortunate to have these free programs in Cleveland.

(Older maintenance guy giggled a bit while he worked, which made me happy too.)

Here is another amazing video I did with Classical Numismatics. This one is on the coins of Kos. Particularly ones with the crab on the reverse. One of the best I have ever seen!

Hey classicalbluesky do we have any idea what colors the Ancient Greeks would dye their chitons?

After being failed by Google Images, here's a longshot question for #ClassicalBluesky. Does anyone know where this image is from, or who it is by?
An illustration depicting the Athenian Acropolis from inside the Propylaia, with columned buildings, statues, and people walking around. The image has a sepia-toned color palette, giving it an aged, historical appearance.
