Re-enactment, Archaeology, and the Ancient Rome & Greece Weekend III of IV: The Dagger
So in my project to recreate the equipment of a 3rd century Roman soldier from Dura-Europos, following the creation of the sword, I next moved on to the dagger. Little seems to be known about the daggers used by soldiers in the Roman World of the 3 rd century AD. The well-known dagger of the Early
The Monastery of St Moses, Syria: The Buildings
The monastery of Deir Mar Musa in its heyday included hermitages spread around the landscape, but as today, the focus of the complex would have been the buildings, especially the chapel, home to the important frescos. The archaeology of standing buildings requires looking at walls to see how they
The Monastery of St Moses, Syria: The Frescoes
A report on Deir Mar Musa would not be complete without an account of the frescoes. Others have done most of the work studying these paintings, but my architectural study of the monastery buildings has certainly provided important informaton about the rationale for the last phase of frescoes (for
The Monastery of St Moses, Syria: The Cave Survey
The first field-walks took place in 2004, but recorded survey of the area began in 2005 with a rapid series of transects across the catchment of the valley. Some of the caves were clearly situated in locations which were now difficult to get to, and I rather suspected that if I did not have a
Re-enactment, Archaeology, and the Ancient Rome & Greece Weekend II of IV: The Sword

The first Church at York and the War of 1812
Written by Paul Vaculik, ROMwalks volunteer The first Church at York (later renamed to St. James) was built in 1807 by soldiers of the British garrison. The church and its rector, the Reverend Dr. John Strachan, became central to events of the War of 1812. In the April 1813 Battle of York, after
A Story of Ghana: Exploring the Asafo Flags at the ROM
In the modern sense, a flag has a number of meanings that ultimately culminate into being a symbol, representative of some form of pride- pride in one's country or province, or in a particular organization or entity. We fly the flag of our country when we visit other places to tell everyone
Safavid Tile Arch Project III: The Palace of the Stables
Written by Lisa Golombek, Curator Emeritus (Islamic Art) There are thousands of tiles from the Safavid period in Iran (16 th-17 th centuries), and many monuments of this period preserve their splendid tiling in their original settings. However, the ROM's Safavid Tile Arch Project (STAP)
Re-enactment, Archaeology, and the Ancient Rome & Greece Weekend IV of IV: The Tunic
An important part of everyday life in the past, but one with very little impact on the archaeological record, is clothing. Hence clothing is obviously an important part of my attempt to recreate the equipment of a soldier from 3rd century Dura-Europos. People typically wore clothes in the past, but
