Bronze head of a woman or goddess, torn from a full-sized statue. She wears a lunette diadem with inlaid silver patterns, with a star in the middle. Her wavy hair is center parted and pulled back into a bun. She looks directly into the camera with inlaid silver eyes, set beneath shadowed brows. With her mottled brown and green patina, the effect is frightening!

This bronze head of a goddess with her spooky, hypnotic inlaid silver eyes, will be roaming the shadows tonight on All Hallows Eve! Still looking for her body, 2,000 years later … 😱 🏺 1/

From the villa of Agrippa Postumus at Boscotrecase, now held at the Met. Description from the museum: “Perseus is about to rescue Andromeda from the ketos, a snaky sea monster painted in a brilliant blue-green palette. The creature raises his head with gigantic open jaws and frightful teeth toward Andromeda, who stands with outstretched arms in the center of the panel. One hand appears to be chained to the crag; the other elegantly placed on the rocks. Perseus flies in from the left with his lyre in one hand, winged shoes on his feet, and a windblown cloak over his shoulder. In the upper right portion of the fresco, he is greeted by Andromeda's grateful father, a scene that alludes to the myth's “happy ending” the marriage of hero and princess.“

✨Perseus and Andromeda, the villa at Boscotrecase✨

This fresco captures moments from the myth of Andromeda and Perseus. Perseus swoops in stage left to rescue Andromeda—trapped on a crag at centre stage—from the sea monster Kêtus. The monster takes up most of the lower left of the fresco panel.

Desde aquí, se agradecería un mínimo de preocupación por el rigor de los datos a la hora de redactar una noticia.
El descubrimiento se realizó en la iglesia de Santa Eulalia de Esperante, no en Santa Eulalia de Bóveda.

Excavated from the sacred pool of Bagno Grande at San Casciano dei Bagni, this bronze bust of a matron was used as a votive offering in the 1st century CE. One of 24 bronzes recently discovered in the ruins of this ancient sanctuary. She’s missing her eyes, which were probably made from stone or bone and glass. Her ears are pierced, meaning she probably wore gold earrings. Her dark bronze is enhanced by bright orange patina, highlighting her face.

Photographed at an exhibition held at the MANN (Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli)

Rear view of the same bronze portrait bust of a matron. This shows the extremely complex hairstyle, made up of several braids tied up into a kind of hanging bun at the nape of her neck. Each strand of hair is delineated. Stunning detail.

The votive bronze sculptures discovered at Bagno Grande in San Casciano dei Bagni include layers of offerings from the Etruscans to, later, the Romans. This bust of a matron is the latter, given the complex Roman hairstyle (late Augustan). The braids are incredibly detailed. 🏺

A large accumulation of amphorae scattered across the sandy ocean floor. The amphorae are densely clustered, with many partially buried in the seabed, forming the distinct shape of a ship. The scene is illuminated by dim, bluish underwater light.

An absolutely stunning photo! The 35m-long #Roman shipwreck, along with its cargo of 6,000 (!) amphorae was discovered in 2019 off the coast of the Greek Island of Kefalonia.
It’s one of the largest Roman shipwrecks found in the Mediterranean.
