Hi! I really love your blog, and all the things you post/reblog are totally up my alley! I just graduated with a bachelors in both art history and classics in Wisconsin, and Iām about to move to Scotland to pursue my MSc in art history and collection studies at Glasgow! I love being able to interact with history and art in a non-academic setting, and your blog is one of the ways I do that! Big fan, many thanks, keep bein cool.
Okay hi you are now my new bff, I can almost wave to you from here haha, and I need UPDATES on Scotland!
Iām so so so glad you love it! Thank you! Itās just a passion and I do it to keep learning and surrounding myself with things I wish I did as a living (not that healthcare admin is terrible, but being in management makes you dislike people). As I found out I could not be a forever student, according to my dad, and archaeology makes no money, he said. So here I am living vicariously through you all! š
I lurve all of you in academia and revel in your stories.

This fresco is from the Tomb of the Diver at Paestum, which was a Greek settlement in southern Italy (itās near Naples). So itās not Etruscan but it is very cool!
