Dura-Europos photos online
#1
Hi,

I was just doing some online searching and see that Yale has posted a load of pictures from its collection of artifacts from Dura-Europos up in the Yale Art Gallery's collection database: [url:32intg5u]http://artgallery.yale.edu/pages/search.html[/url].

To get at the Dura pictures, in the line DEPARTMENT: pull it down and click Ancient Art and in CULTURE: type dura. This will deliver a gigantic number of photos. If you want to limit the search, keep those previous entries and then type a search term such as armor or lamp or whatever in TITLE:

The photos include pictures of ceramics, textiles, armor bits (an iron scale), scuta and the fresco of Julius Terentius performing a sacrifice to name but a small quantity.

Enjoy,

Lucianus

Thanks so much for that tip! I only had a little while to browse around when I posted the link. A search on "scale" pulls up a bunch, some in ones and twos and others in long groups all wired together. I was struck yet again by the thinness of the scale. These were in general larger than I had expected many being about 2.5mm x 4.2mm. All very interesting!

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
