Temples of Britain and Ireland @TemplumData

This took way longer than I intended it to, but I finally got round to finishing an article about the temple at Pagans Hill. If you're interested in rural temples during the end of the Roman West I think you'll enjoy it wedeti.substack.com/p/pagans-hill-…

Some figurative sculpture was on display - a hippocamp on a decorative frieze recently found at Irthlingborough, and a crudely carved Hercules found at Higham Ferrers. Neither usually visible to the public @TemplumData

As today marks the start of Chinese Year of the Snake... it's a good time to show off perhaps our most enigmatic sculpture - the serpent stone. Both the Chinese and the Romans associated snakes with prosperity, among many other things.

🏛 I had the pleasure of getting a tour of the Uncovering #Roman Carlisle project at Carlisle Cricket Club, where the brilliant team are excavating an enormous administrative building with huge bath-house, roads, and a fascinating monumental area that might include large shrines!

This striking Iron Age bone comb was made from a horse metapodial bone, recovered during excavations by Wessex Archaeology at Harwell, Oxfordshire. The seemingly human face that looks back at us is a highly unusual form of decoration for this object type & period! #WildWednesdays

This looks interesting, it's interesting to think about what the overlap between mortuary architecture and practices is with late temple/shrine architecture. I'd love to compare this to Blair's Anglo-Saxon pagan shrines and their prototypes. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
