We're thrilled to share an extraordinary #discovery from the heart of #Frankfurt. Archaeologists from the Frankfurt Archaeological #Museum have unearthed a remarkably preserved wooden cellar from the ancient #Roman city of Nida. Dating back to the late 1st century AD, this find gives us a rare glimpse into the daily lives of our #ancestors.

The threat of a volcano on an abandonned city

I often publish image of overgrown city by nature, but they are always contemporary or modern. This is why i choose to change the time period to antiquity with a roman city.

Jerash

One of the largest surviving ruins of a Roman city, Jerash is understandably Jordan’s second most popular tourist attraction (after Petra). While there are more impressive remains elsewhere of individual elements like Roman theatres, temples and hippodromes, there are few places that have so many structures relatively intact in one place. Amazingly it isn’t a UNESCO World Heritage Site as it is…

When you think of ancient Greece or the Roman Empire, visions of white togas, ivory temples and sand-coloured amphitheatres likely come to mind.

If so, you might be in for a surprise.

Because this off-white and eggshell-dominated palette, which inspired the pristine surfaces of Renaissance sculptures and the blank facades of Neoclassical buildings, is… a lie.

We now know the ancient world was steeped in colour. It was, perhaps, a tad too colourful for our modern sensibilities — even borderline garish at times.

Click here to learn why generations of scholars and artists believed in a monochrome Classical Antiquity and see historically accurate reconstructions of ancient statues and buildings in all their glorious peacockery.
