Scappaticcio, Maria Chiara, and Gabriel Zuchtriegel. “Passione elettorale nelle mura domestiche: un larario, una macina, un candidato.

Thanks to a post by @markstoneman I see that J. D. Sargan and Micah James Goodrich have issued a call-for-papers for contributions to A Cultural History of Trans Lives in the Middle Ages (300-1450), which is part of a forthcoming (2027) Bloomsbury’s Cultural Histories series.
The listing for that has led me to discover that the first volume, A Cultural History of Trans Lives in Antiquity, 500 BCE - 300 CE (to be edited by ...

The archeological site at Turkey’s Boğazköy-Hattusha, the former capital of the Bronze Age Hittite empire, is a hotbed of ancient languages.

Designed by Irene Sharaff Wool, silk, sequins, leather, gold leaf (dress); human hair (wig)
The exhibition interpretation says;
“Wielding her diva power, Taylor demanded and received a $1 million dollar fee to play Cleopatra, making her the highest earning performer in Hollywood history”
Sharaff created many costumes for Taylor including costumes for Cleopatra and her wedding to co-star Richard Burton.

When we got to talking about tersoria (Roman sponges on a stick -- what they used instead of TP), we figured we had gone as far as we needed to go with that discussion.

Did you know that there were artificially mummified bodies ~2k yrs before the #Ancient #Egypt?
In Northern #Chile, the Chinchorro people started mummifying their weakest: Children, babies, & the elderly.
Occuring after 5000 BCE, corpses were stripped of flesh & filled with fibre & clay.
These are the oldest examples of deliberate mummification.
That they mummified irrespective of social status is wholly unique.

I don’t normally boost posts where the picture has no Alt Text description, but this sounds fascinating. For the benefit of screen reader users, I scanned the photo with the Beta version of Be My AI. It took a while to process, but it gave the following description:
The picture shows an ancient wooden boat displayed inside a modern building. The boat is long and narrow, with a series of wooden benches running along its length. It appears to be very old and weathered, with a rustic appearance. The boat is displayed on a glass surface, and there are people walking around and observing it. The building has a bright and spacious interior with a high ceiling and large windows that allow natural light to flood in. There are also some people walking in the background, giving a sense of scale to the boat.

We’re fascinated and horrified by death as a species.
In Ancient Rome citizen-fathers had a legal commitment to care for and command their sons and daughters for life. Their children by law had to do as they were told by the father.
But if a newborn was not healthy or deformed the father had the duty of lifelong care or execution of his own child.
Seems like the Romans already had a solution to the Trolley Problem.

Hey fediverse! If you're interested in #mythology, #folklore, #storytelling and related subjects (perhaps #ancientHistory? #archeology?), I have created a Mastodon server:
https://mythology.social/about
Registration is limited to keep the server from being overwhelmed; I'll be admitting 9 inaugural members & see what the server usage is.
If you're interested, register so you'll be queued (at least I think it'll work like that).
If you have any questions or concerns about the rules, let me know.
Funerary relief of Hadirat Katthina, daughter of Sha'ad ~ 200–220 CE
The funerary portrait of Hadirat Katthina is an example of high relief from Palmyra. She shows a sense of dignity from her gaze to her formal pose with her arms crossing her body and concealed for the most part beneath her garment.
The inscription is in Palmyrene Aramaic: “hdrt kṭtyn’ bt š‘d ḥbl.” "Hadirat Katthina (?) daughter of Sha‘ad, alas!". Translation by Professor Jean-Baptiste Yon, University of Lyon.
Getty Museum, no. 2019.12

This is a carbonized loaf of bread from Pompeii, 79 C.E. - preserved for thousands of years in the volcanic ashes of Mount Vesuvius. The baker left his stamp, which reads: “Celer, slave of Quintus Granius Verus." Celer is known to have survived the eruption, as his name later appears on a list of "freed men." Most bread at the time was baked in community ovens, so customized stamps were used to mark individual families’ and bakeries’ loaves.
