🧵 The House of Menander was top of my #Pompeii bucket list on my recent trip. I’ve wanted to visit since researching and writing about domestic slave numbers in this elite Roman household whilst studying ‘Roman Slavery’ on my Masters degree course at @BirkbeckHCA

#Archaeology Image The House of Menander is one of the grandest houses in Pompeii, complete with its own private bath complex. It is named after a fresco in a garden portico of the Athenian playwright Menander.

World’s oldest known surviving peace treaty is the Treaty of Kadesh.

Agreed c. 3,300 years ago, between Ramesses II of Egypt and Hattusili III of the Hittite Empire. Original Hittite clay tablet version of the treaty at Istanbul Archaeology Museums. 📷 Monsieurdl

#Archaeology Image The Egyptian version of the peace treaty was engraved in hieroglyphics on the walls of the Ramesseum and the Temple of Karnak at Thebes (modern Luxor). Seen here at Karnak 📷: Olaf Tausch
