Fascinating world of ancient #glass: a #Roman jug made of blue glass with splashed decoration in white, yellow and brown. The decoration was created by applying fragments of coloured glass to the surface of the vessel before it was fully blown.
The technique was fashionable in the first half of the 1st c. A.D. and may have been influenced by the production of cast mosaic glass.
Found in a burial at Kempten-Keckwiese, dating ca. 30 AD.

#vendredilecture Ce n'était pas dans mes plans immédiats, mais grâce au présentoir de la bibliothèque municipale, je viens de commencer *Amiante* de Sébastien Dulude, publié chez #LaPeuplade.
C'est parfaitement idiot, mais sur la seule base des photos que j'avais vues passer de l'auteur, j'en imaginais l'écriture, je ne sais pas, cool, nerveuse, alternative – à la Shane Haddad, genre. Et c'est tout autre chose.
L'auteur y remplit l'une des missions sacrées de la littérature, au moins depuis Mark Twain, qui est d'écrire et de sauver l'enfance. C'est vif, c'est frais, c'est délicat, ces premières pages, et ça fait ma joie.

An exceptionally well-preserved section of an ancient Roman water supply system has been discovered in Stabiae, Italy.
This system includes a large lead tank with conduits leading in and out to regulate water flow through the rooms of the villa. Like Pompeii and Herculaneum, Stabiae was buried during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. #Roman #Italy #plumbing

Hiiiiiiiii, 
vient de m'offrir le 2e tome du génial #roman graphique d'Emil Ferris, "Moi, ce que j'aime, c'est les monstres" 
C'est l'histoire de Karen Reyes, alter ego loup-garou de l'autrice, qui grandit et enquête sur ses proches dans le #Chicago des années 1960-1970. Tout est dessiné au bic 4 couleurs et c'est renversant.
Je vais attendre un peu avant de m'y plonger, car j'ai déjà 2 livres en cours et c'est déjà pas mal pour ma cervelle

#ResPublica is a #Latin phrase meaning “public affair” or “the people’s affair.”
It is the root of the word “#republic” and has been used to refer to the state or #commonwealth, particularly in the context of ancient Rome.
In #Roman politics, res publica emphasized liberty and the absence of monarchical control, contrasting with absolute #power.
