from november 2023 to may 2024 at villa caffarelli, part of the capitoline museums, an exhibit entirely dedicated to phidias, the famous sculptor behind the parthenon and the chrysoelephantine colossi of the athena parthenos and zeus of olympia.
the exhibit is composed of a selection of more than 100 works, from archaeological finds to paintings and manuscripts narrating the life and work of the artisan, with the support of reconstructions, multimedia installations and digital content.
the exhibition is the first of a series of five exhibitions, "i grandi maestri della grecia antica". in addition with the artworks coming from museums in rome and other italian institutions, the exhibit contains some extraordinary loans, items that have never left their museum premises, as for example two fragments from the parthenon frieze, from the acropolis museum in athens.

Having an argument about how to excavate archaeological sites with @chaotic-archaeologist
Some of us (me) learned using 10ths of Feet (a regular imperial foot divided into ten units) because the region we learned in is full of historic buildings and sites constructed in imperial scale. And that it is therefore a perfectly valid way to do archaeology.
Some of us (Reid) think this is heresy and silly thinking.

known as ad gallinas albas (of the white hen) because of pliny the elder's tale in his naturalis historia, recounting the myth of livia, newly bethroted to octavian augustus, having a white hen holding a laurel branch in its beak dropped into her lap by an eagle, interpreted as an omen of good fortune.

idk if any of you are into paleoanthropology but if you are, i highly recommend this video about an incredibly interesting 27,000 year old burial site in Italy that contains some truly amazing grave goods. genuinely one of the most fascinating finds i've ever encountered!

In case anyone was interested, here are Sun’s notes on the First Hero’s skeleton as described in my fic Untarnished.
Yes I did spend a lot of time trying to think how an antiquarian might have actually recorded their findings. Yes I am very proud of that drawing of a skeleton.
I’m a great archaeologist lmao.

A recruiter on LinkedIn reached out to me for a job opportunity and want to interview me. Would this be a legit offer or a scam? The company is Insight Global and I'm not finding too much info on them.
