#OTD 1st May was the anniversary of the Temple of Bona Dea in #Rome. Meaning 'Good Goddess', she looked after chastity & fertility in women, agricultural abundance & protection of the people of Rome. Women cleansed their houses of all male presence - including men & male animals.
#OnThisDay in 311 CE, Roman Emperor Galerius, once a harsh persecutor of Christians, issued an edict of toleration. Rising from humble origins to Caesar, his severe rule included a poll tax and relentless persecution.
Our next Trimontium Talk is coming up on May 9th with a fascinating topic! Roman Slingshot: the forgotten firepower of the ancient world with Prof Lawrence Keppie & Dr John Reid at 7pm! Online and in person. Visit the link to book your spot! 😊 zurl.co/TIAx

This is the stunning #Roman bridge in #Cordoba, #Spain which was also featured in #GameofThrones. It was originally built in the 1st Century AD but what we see today has largely been reconstructed while remaining on the site of the original bridge.
A #Roman Marble calyx-krater with dancing maenads dating to the 1st century AD. It would have provided decoration in a garden. Three maenads, followers of Dionysos, dance to the music of wooden clappers - @metmuseum collection.
The sandal of a #Roman child from #Trimontium - @NtlMuseumsScot collection. 3,000 people, including women & children, lived at Trimontium. To find out more about children in Roman Britain, see this short film, presented by @bettanyhughes - zcu.io/znsV
Brochs in the Borders? You'd better believe it! Hundreds of these #IronAge towers are found in northern Scotland, but a few are much further south. Near(ish) to #Trimontium are Torwoodlee Broch, Edin's Hall Broch, Bow Castle Broch. @TheBrochProject @ArchScot #ScottishBorders
The #Romans loved gardens - a place of peace & tranquillity to escape the trails of life. At Fishbourne Roman Palace @romanpalace Archaeologists have identified the layout and plants used in a Romano-British garden. The fresco is from the Villa of Livia.
🏛️ Happy #NationalSuperheroDay! Like us, ancient Romans adored heroes. Achilles and Odysseus were their Superman & Spiderman, tales of valor that resonate across ages. Let's celebrate the timeless connection between ancient legends and modern superheroes. ♀️#AncientHeroes
This grand #Roman tomb hails from Trinity Square, London and resides in @britishmuseum Partially reconstructed, it commemorates Gaius Julius Alpinus Classicianus. He was procurator (finance minister) of Britannia after the revolt of the Iceni led by Queen #Boudica in AD 60-61.
A lovely 42cm high statue of the Goddess Victory with a Cornucopia. The #Romans believed she represented military victory & the peace & prosperity that would follow on from this. This statue dates to 42-68AD & would have been attached to a chariot - @ClevelandArt collection
