The ghastly trend of turning nouns into verbs has reached a new low in Carterton Pharmacy. One for you @icod does this come under #names?!

That chap in front looks vaguely familiar @Brucey1....?

A #Roman gold ring, set with an oval of green chalcedony which has been engraved with the image of a parrot; the level of detail is amazing, especially the texture on the feathers (especially given that it is only 2.6cm wide!) (📷 Christies)

In the heart of Ceredigion, Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧, lies a remarkable architectural curiosity known as Devil’s Bridge—actually three bridges stacked one above the other, each built in a different era. The lowest and oldest of the trio dates back to Norman times, possibly as early as the 11th century. Built from local stone, this original bridge spanned the River Mynach, arching high above a deep and dramatic gorge, and served as a vital crossing point in medieval Wales. Centuries later, in the 18th Century, a second bridge was constructed directly atop the first. Instead of dismantling the original, builders chose to preserve it, creating a layered effect that would only become more unique with time. This second bridge, sturdier and wider, reflected the growing need for improved transport routes as travel and trade increased through rural Wales. In early 20th Century, a third and final bridge was built above the previous two, incorporating modern engineering to support motor vehicles. Now a famous tourist attraction, Devil’s Bridge not only offers stunning views over cascading waterfalls and dense forest but also serves as a rare, physical timeline of human ingenuity—three bridges, three centuries, one legendary crossing steeped in history and myth. #archaeohistories
