Did anyone recreate an almost real roman bath? That I can actually bath in?
I know one as part of a museum, but it's not used for actual bathing.
I just want to pay 25€ and chill in a roman style bath with my crew

Por la naturaleza del mitraismo, se desconocen los detalles de la tauroctonía, pero se cree que los símbolos implicados, que no aparecen juntos siempre, representan las constelaciones celestes: Tauro, Scorpio, Hydra, Canis Major/Minor, Leo, Crater, Corvus y la estrella Spica de Virgo.

This #FrescoFriday we step back in time to the Villa of Mysteries at Pompeii. And boy did these ladies know how to cut loose in the lead up to a weekend! From almost nude stretching to seeking the comfort of friends, this Bacchic rite has it all.
Just swinging in the breeze
That’s right, it’s #PhallusThursday and our offering is this bronze beauty. Part man, part phallus, all ready to run up your good fortune. Most likely used as a Tintinnabulum, we hope this artefact at least chimed with good taste.
Hemera, the personification of day
This #ReliefWednesday we head to the Sebasteion of Aphrodisias and the depiction of Hemera whose cloak fans out in a brilliant display of velificatio. In the context of this Roman era monument, the pairing of Hemera with her mother Nyx (Night) perhaps in a iconographical suggestion of the eternity of Rome.

It’s a little bit fishy this #MosaicMonday!
Most mosaic scenes with marine life show them frolicking, but when the mosaic is the aftermath of a banquet, well, maybe the remains of a fish are more likely. This mosaic dates to c. 20 BCE–100 CE and is held by the MAN Aquileia.

Brand New Episode – Camillius’ Conniptions
Is Camillus learning how to keep a low profile? He is praised from his success over the Faliscans (and their schoolmaster) and he doesn’t rush for a triumph this time. But the challenge remains, that Camillus’ forgotten vow to Apollo might be about to come back to bite him…

The so-called Ara ‘Casali’ is thought to date to the C2nd CE, but the inscription of Titus Claudius Faventinus, which appears within an oak wreath on the front, is thought to be the result of a later C3rd CE reworking.
The face of the altar depict Ares and Aphrodite in chains before Hephaestus, Helios's chariot; on the back: legend of the origins of Rome; on the left side: dragging of Hector's body, procession of offerings; on the right side: judgment of Paris, duels.
