Third century Roman sarcophagus depicting the myth of Hippolytus and Phaedra, now in the crypt of the Cathedral of San Gerlando in Agrigento, Sicily. It came to the cathedral in the early 1700s and was used as the font (it's huge, it's more like a bathtub) for a time. #FontsOnFriday #FindsFriday

Wow! This late Roman blue glass cup went on a 12,000 km journey across continents, to the ancient Silla Kingdom in Korea! 🤯 It was excavated from the royal Cheonmachong Tomb, Gyeongju. Early AD 500s. Gyeongju National Museum 📷 by me #FindsFriday #Archaeology
