I have just completed a coursera certificate presented by Sapienza University in Rome. It was titled: "The Changing Landscape of Ancient Rome: Archaeology and History of the Palatine Hill." It was presented by Professor Paolo Carafa (Professor of Classical Archaeology and Deputy Rector for the Archaeological Heritage in Sapienza). A challenging and thorough course of study, which provided me with the fundamentals of Landscape Archaeology. For those with a background in Classics, Ancient History, or Landscape Archaeology, this may well be the course for you. A truly fascinating course of study.

Archaeologists working at Heraclea Sintica in Bulgaria recently made a remarkable discovery during their excavations. They uncovered an exceptionally well-preserved statue believed to be a Roman copy of a Greek sculpture of Hermes, the messenger god. This find is considered one of the best-preserved statues from antiquity ever discovered at Heraclea Sintica and possibly in Bulgaria as a whole. The statue was found within the Roman sewer system, known as the Cloaca Maxima, which surprised the archaeologists. They speculated that the statue may have been placed there during a time when the city, already Christianized, was transitioning away from its pagan roots. This cultural shift may explain why the statue was hidden away in such a manner, possibly to preserve it from destruction. Heraclea Sintica itself is an ancient city in southwestern Bulgaria, founded in the 4th century BCE by Philip II of Macedon. Over its nearly 800-year history, the city faced various challenges, including earthquakes that ultimately led to its decline and abandonment around 500 CE. Despite the city's conversion to Christianity after the Roman Empire's adoption of the religion in the late 4th century, remnants of its earlier pagan traditions, such as this statue of Hermes, were evidently still preserved in some form. The excavation at Heraclea Sintica has been ongoing since 2007, led by Dr. Lyudmil Vagalinski and the National Institute of Archaeology in Sofia. Over the years, the team has uncovered tunnels, arches, and even a studio for producing theater masks, providing valuable insights into the city's ancient urban infrastructure and cultural practices. Overall, the discovery of this statue of Hermes is not only significant for its archaeological value but also for what it reveals about the complex religious and cultural dynamics of ancient Heraclea Sintica. #research #study #researcher #science #laboratory #biologystudent #biologystudents #biology #education #scientist #medical #health #technology #medicine #socialmediamarketing #innovation #data #socialmedia #contentmarketing #industry #designideas #facts #marketing #sustainability #organization #community
