Romans, Archaeology, Museums, Typos. We're not a villa and we don't do Latin.

We don't know. We didn't read them.

That was brilliant! If you missed it, we imagine it will be on the BBC Sounds app for the rest of time.

Listen up, people!
Our pals @maryrosemuseum.bsky.social are about to be on BBC Rafio 4, with a feature on conservation of their mighty warship.

So tune in, learn and be entertained!

At the risk of taking you seriously - we found 40lb of window glass alone. We have an amazing student doing a PhD on it at this very moment! 🀩

Pssst! @merchantshallyork.org, it looks like some people on Bluesky have cottoned on to the fact that we might have feelings for one another.

Do you think we should tone it down a bit? 🀫😬

Usually we don't have it. But we don't let that stop us. 😎

We've realized that there's no way we can reply to this without incriminating ourselves. 😳

Thanks we passed your helpful comments on to our conservation team. Could you send us your address? They want to pop over for a "chat". 😬

It makes our eyes go squiffy. If we had this in our house we'd constantly feel like we were on some kind of trip. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

Thought we should do one of our own for #MosaicMonday this week.

Our favourite: the Box and Crosses mosaic, along with a drawing so you can see what you could have won.

Okay. You've convinced us.
Henceforth we shall refer to ourselves as "Fishbourne Roman Pallace".

We feel the need periodically to clarify...

Absolutely cats.

That explains a lot.
We're not sure quite what right now, but we're sure that in due course a lot will be explained by that.
