Archaeology from South Yorkshire |
| The Archaeology Service has recently worked in partnership with InHeritage and Doncaster Museum on two projects. The projects were both funded by English Heritage using money from the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund. Romans on the Don. The Romans on the Don project focused on life in the Doncaster area in the Iron Age and Roman periods – around 2000 years ago. A series of workshops and talks took place and a comic for 7-11 year olds was produced. The comic proved so popular that it went through two print runs! It can now be downloaded from the Romans on the Don website for anyone who missed it. The website also has a downloadable teachers’ pack for Key Stage 2 use.

Smuggling history |
| Abu Mustafa has his own little museum in front of his fish shop in the small fishermen harbor of Tyre. “Ten thousand dollars for all of it,” he says to the tourists who ask. “If you ask by piece, they’re five dollars, $10, $30. It depends on the piece,” he adds, pointing to an ancient amphora and to a Bacchus mask he says he recovered some time ago. Small-scale commerce in relics from ancient submerged Tyre is good business. Abu Mustafa sometimes recovers them while he’s fishing, and sometimes he dives especially for them. He has been doing it since he was 10 years old. Byzantine, Roman, Greek, Phoenician. They all pay. He explains he lives off of selling these artifacts to tourists, as many of the fishermen in Tyre do. Labels: byzantine, collectibles, lebanon, museum, roman empire |

Bulgaria Archaeologist Finds Unique Golden Chariot from Ancient Thrace |
| An exhibition displaying an absolutely unique golden decoration of a chariot from Ancient Thrace was opened Wednesday in the Mall of Sofia, in the downtown of the Bulgarian capital. The Thracian chariot in question was technically in fact found in 1976 near the village of Karanovo but no one had realized its existence. Only at the beginning of 2009, archaeologist Veselin Ignatov, who is the head of the history museum in the town of Nova Zagora, Southeast Bulgaria, and a specialist on Thracian chariots, actually discovered it as he was inspecting earlier finds stored in the museum basement.

Thus began a lifelong fascination with the ancient world fueled by Getty's imaginary visions of the lives of Roman statesmen and entrepreneurs that he considered his antecedents. Getty purchased his first antiquity in 1939 and by 1955 he had acquired enough ancient art to open a small museum in his ranch house constructed in a canyon.near the famous surfing beaches of Malibu, California.

Painting the Roman Empire |
 The expansion of the Roman Empire two millennia ago fuelled a boom in culture and art, explored in an upcoming exhibition here spotlighting painting from the past. The event at the Scuderie Quirinale brings together over 100 of the loveliest surviving artworks from Ancient Rome to examine a crucial period in the history of the empire, from the 1st century BC to the 5th century AD. This period - from the empire's birth, with the arrival of Julius Caesar in 46 BC, through its expansion into a vast colonial power - was a time of vigorous cultural development that laid the foundational groundwork for future generations of Western artists.
