A colorful duck mosaic is featured in the ancient House of the Birds located in Itálica, Santiponce, Seville, showcasing Roman art.
The previous image was taken crossing that field on the left, and I'm now under that huge black cloud and heading quickly into Beckley, if need be to take shelter in the church.
I didn't realise at the time that this was the Roman road that crosses the moor; behind me it becomes a lane lined with pretty cottages leading up to the church.
Apparently, although not particularly eye catching, the road is quite well preserved across the moor; 14 metres wide, raised up with drainage ditches on either side and underneath the grass still maintaining a surface of compacted limestone, cambered from the centre for drainage like modern roads. It is now a footpath/bridleway.
Not a great image - it was so dark! But I thought worth posting for the interest.
The Getty has almost no information about this very small head, which has suffered a wrenching separation from its body, probably sometime in antiquity. What's notable are the fine details of her hair, and the delicate gold wire earring with a tiny pearl that still remains attached to her ear.
Roman, about 100 CE, bronze with gold and pearl.
