These are extremely important discoveries; Glad you record them all. Have you thought of capturing them in Storymap or Omeka?
I've not tried those---will have a look, do you recommend one in particular? :)
Storymap allows you to upload your data, incl URLs to images etc., from an excel template. Worth giving a try, I think.
thanks, will check out it out later! :)
Wow! Thanks for posting! Supports my long-standing belief in much greater early contact between peoples of the world
My pleasure! And yes, absolutely! :)
Liked the thread. Your tweets show that wanderlust seems to be a generic human trait.
absolutely :)
@DorothyKing would be so interesting to know if any are imitations made outside Roman world
As in it wd be interesting to trace imitations via trade bcos so many made in, eg, South Asia inc Sri Lanka etc
incredible
