Rishi Sunak has offered his resignation to The King but Keir Starmer has yet to be appointed as Prime Minister, so who's in charge? Me.

Muebles de madera carbonizados, casas con sus tejados intactos y hasta un teatro excavado bajo los escombros volcánicos a 26 metros de profundidad. En este #HiloRomano dedicado a Herculano descubrirás algunas de las maravillas más desconocidas que el Vesubio enterró en el año 79

Un pequeño terremoto se acaba de sentir en Pompeya. Nadie se ha alarmado, la población de la zona está acostumbrada a soportarlos cada cierto tiempo sin conocer bien su origen y naturaleza. Pero hoy los hados tienen reservado algo diferente. Comienza el desastre… #HiloRomano

This week the horological world has lost one of the modern day experts in the field of turret clocks. He will be greatly missed by all his family and friends and everyone in the turret clock world. He was our go to expert especially where Big Ben was concerned.

No solo la erupción del Vesubio mató a los pompeyanos… Las excavaciones más recientes de Pompeya nos sorprenden con el hallazgo de los cuerpos de dos personas que no murieron arrasadas por el flujo piroclástico del volcán. Sígueme en este #HiloRomano para saber qué les ocurrió

Recently restored this watch for a descendant of its first owner. Original mov't must have broken when he lived in New York in around 1900 and it was replaced with a then new high grade Swiss made one, the original engraved case expertly converted to keyless winding.

Se ha producido en Siria uno de los hallazgos arqueológicos más increíbles de la última década. Un impresionante mosaico romano de gran tamaño con personajes de la Guerra de Troya. Sígueme en este #HiloRomano porque esta historia tiene mucho más que contar. Y no todo es bueno…
