lostinvunderland: Kate Baylay’s exquisite illustrations feature sinister subject matter executed with a masterful use of line and colour. She draws inspiration from sources such as Russian fairy tales, early 20th century literature and Roald Dahl. Her work manages to be enchanting and dark simultaneously, which is all the more impressive considering she only graduated a short few months ago.

Sex Coins From Ancient Rome. Spintria (Ancient Roman coins with sex scenes) were used in ancient Rome to request and pay for different “services” in brothels and from prostitutes on the street. Since there were a lot of foreigners coming to the city that did not speak the language and most of the prostitutes were slaves captured from other places the coins made the transactions easy and efficient. One side of these coins showed what the buyer wanted and the other showed the amount of money to be paid for the act. (via)
