Cassius Dio called it… https://t.co/J5BDTaVjBCtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…

#MosaicMonday - Late Roman Mosaic of the Vine Harvest depicting the transportation of grapes with donkeys after harvesting wine grapes. It was discovered during illegal excavations in the Hassa district of the Hatay Province in Türkiye, an area with a long history of grape… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Turkey’s wine heritage dates back nearly 7,000 years. The red grape, Barburi, is unique to the city of Antakya / Hatay region (Türkiye). In 2009 Hatay-based Antioche Winery brought the grape back from the brink of extinction. 🇹🇷🍇🍷 #TurkishWine

Turkey is among the largest producers of grapes in the world, though many are consumed as table grapes or raisins. Around 30 of Turkey’s 800 indigenous grape varieties are made into wine in commercial quantities. 🇹🇷🍇🍷 #TurkishWine

RIP Lucius Aelius Caesar, Hadrian's first intended successor, who died #OnThisDay in AD 138.
Lucius was adopted by Hadrian in AD 136 but never attained the throne as he died of tuberculosis a few months before Hadrian. Hadrian was then forced to choose a new heir, Antoninus Pius.
“He [Lucius Aelius Caesar] was a man of joyous life and well versed in letters, and he was endeared to Hadrian, as the malicious say, rather by his beauty than by his character.”
Historia Augusta
“He was considerate of his family, well-dressed, elegant in appearance, a man of regal beauty, with a countenance that commanded respect, a speaker of unusual eloquence, deft at writing verse, and, moreover, not altogether a failure in public life.”
Historia Augusta

🧵 With New Year approaching, I thought I'd share some of my favourite moments and photos from my 2022 archaeological travels, which have seen me travel to Egypt, Turkey, Hadrian's Wall and Algeria.

Sailing on Lake Nasser in Egypt between Aswan and Abu Simbel and visiting the temples that used to lie on the banks of the Nile but were moved when the Aswan High Dam flooded the region in the 1960s.

Visiting the relocated Wadi es-Sebua temple with its beautiful avenue of sphinxes. The temple was built during the reign of Ramesses II and was dedicated to the deified pharaoh, Amun-Ra, and Ra-Harakhty.
