    A stunning owl mosaic from the bathhouse in the city of Thysdrus. The owl, wearing a toga, is surrounded by dying songbirds, & the image captioned "The birds are destroyed by envy, but the owl does not care" - it was probably intended to be a protective charm.

    Happy ! The Roman month Februarius was named after the Latin term februum, which means purification, via the purification ritual Februa held on February 15 (full moon) in the old lunar Roman calendar.

    Something very worth remembering when trying to reconstruct landscapes (or any historic ones, really) - water courses change. A lot. Making that perfect topographic description in the ancient sources so difficult to locate in the modern world...

    The reconstructed wooden gate at Lunt auxiliary fort (Warwickshire), built in the 1970s by the Royal Engineers using Roman tools & methods; the design was based on comparable gates from Trajan's Column. The fort was occupied for a short period after the Boudican Revolt.

    In myth, the Lemures were spirits of the restless, unburied dead, who haunted the houses of the living. Every year they were given offerings of black beans to persuade them to leave; if not accepted, they were chased away by clanging a bronze cooking pot.

    The reign of the Emperor traditionally began 27 January AD98. It was seen as a time of well-being in the Roman world (for Romans, at least - not their enemies!), so much so that later Emperors hoped to to be "more fortunate than Augustus & better than Trajan".
