Facial reconstructions of Iron Age Koban culture individuals from Georgia, Ossetia, and Ingushetia The Koban culture was a major Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age culture of the Central Caucasus, renowned for its advanced bronze and iron metallurgy and craftsmanship. The Koban culture was divided into three regional variants: central, western, and eastern. The western variant became increasingly syncretic with Post-Dolmen Horizon and Proto-Maeotian groups associated with the Northwest Caucasians, while the eastern variant interacted closely with the Kayakent-Kharachoy/Zandak culture, possibly linked to the ancestors of Nakh-speaking peoples. The language of the Koban population remains unknown. Some scholars, including Valentina Ivanovna Kozenkova, have proposed a Kartvelian affiliation based on the culture's origins in the Great Liakhvi Basin (such as the site of Tlia in Georgia, the prototypical and one of the longest-inhabited Koban site, which has archaeological parallels with the even older site of Brili to the west), although no direct linguistic evidence has survived. Genetic studies reveal high levels of CHG ancestry and a predominance of Y-DNA haplogroup G2a1 within the main Koban genetic cluster. Similar genetic profiles are found among populations associated with the Late Bronze Age expansion of Kartvelian-speaking groups into eastern Georgia. Together with archaeological parallels, particularly similarities between Colchian and Koban axe forms, this evidence supports a possible Kartvelian connection. The Koban population maintained extensive contacts with neighboring societies. To the south, they interacted with tribes of the Colchian cultural-historical sphere, including groups inhabiting present-day Svaneti. To the north, they engaged with the Scytho-Cimmerian world. Anthropologically, the Kobanians are characterized by a relatively homogeneous Europoid morphology, including dolichocrany, a narrow face, low nasomalar and zygomaxillary angles, and a strongly projecting, narrow nose.

El llamado Guerrero de Capestrano, por la localidad italiana donde fue encontrado. Escultura prerromana del siglo VI a.C. , contemporánea pero diferente de los kouroi griegos. Cuando Roma daba sus primeros pasos...

Il Guerriero di Capestrano, nel Museo Archeologico Nazionale d’Abruzzo a Chieti, è una scultura dell’Italia preromana. A #PassaggioANordOvest, 15.00 @RaiUno, ammireremo i dettagli di questa opera e il pilastrino che la sorregge e che reca una antica iscrizione.

In 369 BC, Dionysius I of Syracuse sent Celtic and Iberian troops to aid the Spartan war effort. They operated around the Corinth and Sicyon region, just north of Nemea. It is possible the La Téne sword was deposited in the well at the sanctuary of Zeus Nemea by a Celtic mercenary making an offering to the god after a victorious raid on the Sicyonians and captured their stronghold of Deras.

@pablito551905 Thanks to you bro

Another reconstruction of the inside of a Sardinian nuraghe. This type is more common in the south, the chamber has a lesser diameter, and its usually higher compared to northern towers, it lacks the staircase, more common in the central-north Sardinia. #nuragic #nuraghi #italy

@digkabri Nuraghe Arrubiu in Orroli.

Just a reminder that the Llanllyfni Lunula was stolen from St Fagans National Museum of History in Cardiff, October 6th 2025, along with many Bronze age gold armbands. These artifacts are still missing. They may have simply been melted down for their gold. Two men were arrested months ago, petty criminals, but no word on the artifacts at all. It is a total failure on multiple fronts.

🍇An antique silent film showing the traditional grape harvest in Sardinia, presumably dating from the late 1920s or early 1930s. Based on the landscape and traditional costumes, the location appears to be Gallura, in the northeast of the island.

@ahahistory2 But also Sardinians were with the Pisani, and is one of the main sources where we find mentioned the “misterious” Virga sardisca, sort of javelin.

@beaker_the12224 @FortressLugh I think bronze age motifs can also evoke more than one creature at the same time. Birds can be people, horses can be serpents, deer, and boats, boats can be horses, and birds can be horses, etc. They are all evoking journeying and transforming, some ambiguity is intentional.

Some Serbian - Basque parallels Serbian hrid (rock) - Basque harri (stone) Serbian zub (tooth) - Basque zubi (tooth) Serbian Ibar (river in Serbia) - Basque ibar (valley) Serbian gori (burns) - Basque gori (red) Serbian gora (mountain, forest) - Basque gora (high, up, upwards) Serbian seme (seed) - Basque seme (son) Serbian curse "Seme ti se zatrlo" (may you have no sons, descendants)... Just off the top of my head...

patreon.com/posts/new-post… short vid about roman helmets. Based on my experience in reenactment and HEMA I'll try to give my interpretation on the shape of few specific roman helmets.

@DanDavisWrites Thanks, with this it’s easier to understand how the building develops into the space, and all of course it’s confined inside the massive half-cut conical shape. I’ve posted the render also on instagram, YouTube and TikTok. There are far more there
