Happy 65th birthday to influential fashion rebel Jean Paul Gaultier. Although he attributes his style to “rejecting everything I learned in haute couture,” technical mastery and historical knowledge give his unorthodox and eclectic designs their own elegance.

# Stunning mosaics shed light on enigmatic past of Roman city in southern France

ancientstuff:

These are stunning things. The finest Roman mosaics are done with such artistry. The way the colour shading is done, the shadows of the objects being portrayed, the kinds of things being portrayed…I’m such a huge fan. Even the cruddier ones are amazing. Plus they come from a previously undiscovered city, which was known from the literature. Fantastic.
