An ivory hairpin that would have secured the hairstyle of a woman in Roman Gloucester (ancient Glevum) two millennia ago, decorated with the motif of a hand holding a pine cone. Now housed at the Gloucester Museum [894×1619]

It’s more impressive to see extant, every-day items from so long ago than imposing monuments or statues (which are still impressive of course). It’s that human connection from 2000 years ago that makes the hair stand up on your neck. Spooky even.
