>>18521858I've heard it was for knitting gloves
>>18522190Based 2nd century Romans using techniques (knitting) that were only invented in the 12th century.
>>18521822This ring was carved from a single sapphire, and was believed to belong to Caligula, depicting his wife.
A finely polished stone age gouge made of slate, found in Finland
>>18521825I wonder if Onfim became a monk and died a virgin in some monastery
Is Khafre Enthroned the oldest sculpture of a king seated on a throne?
>>18521833
i find it interesting that there mustve been dozens of these things and they were super important to the Roman state for centuries and not a single one survived
>>18522950It's metal and not a grave good so obviously it's going to have a melty. Probably made into a crucifix LOL.
>>18522954true but youd think at least one or two of them wouldve been used as an ornament somewhere or something
>>18522955Like you said, there weren't many, so the random great-great-grandson of a centurion who may have discovered one in his attic probably had no idea what it was and since it was made of valuable metal off to the smith it goes.
>>18522967but nobody ever even really wrote about them ever either they just all disappeared one day and nobody mentions what happened to them that’s kind of my point, one day theyre super important symbols of the state and the next day theyre all gone with 0 mention ever again
>>18522973>they just all disappeared one dayI bet it was a Monday
The walking truck, 1965
>>18521870keep going. Do you have that one engraved amulet/stone that is impossibly detailed for its size in a time without magnification? It showed someone leaping with a spear.
>>18523683are these dildos or penis sheaths
>>18523669
>>18523669>>18524069I haven't been on 4chan in agesMy filenames are being stripped, here's what it should have been: Pylos Combat Agate, 1.3in, found Griffin Warrior Tomb near the Palace of Nestor in Pylos Greece, 1450 BC, noted for fine and elaborate engraving, The quality of the work anticipates later developments as far ahead as the Classical eraHere is the filename for pic attached in case it gets stripped too:bone flutes from bird bone & mammoth ivory, Geissenkloesterle Cave Germany, oldest musical instruments ever found 42,000 – 43,000 years old.
>>18524069Thanks fren

>>18522849This is very much unlikelyFirst his father was a knight so he would be inclined to inherit his professionSecond it's Novgorod republic so he had much higher likelihood of becoming a trader if he felt rebellious Third priests in orthodoxy are allowed to marry
>>18523779I told you, they're pestles, Mom! Now stay out of my room!
