From https://www.chaiandconversation.com/persian-poetry
One of the most authentic materials that language teachers can use to bring cultural content into their syllabus is poems. If your Persian language students are interested in studying some of the classical and contemporary poems in Persian literature, they can benefit from the new series of lessons on the website Chai & Conversation. The new Chai & Conversation series discusses classical and modern Persian poetry. In the introductory podcast of each poem, the producers discuss the poet and the context in which the poem was written. They also delve into the symbolism and meaning behind the poem. In subsequent lessons, they cover the specific words and phrases of each poem, and how they can be applied to the study of the Persian language in general.

Title: Video: Transporting the Mosaic of the Epiphany of Dionysus to a Museum
Body:
Created somewhere between the late-2nd and early 3rd century CE, the Mosaic of the Epiphany of Dionysus depicts the Greek god of wine, fertility, theatre and ecstasy in a striking scene amid panthers and centaurs. The portrait was discovered by archeologists in 1987 at the site of the ancient Greek village of Dion at the foot of Mount Olympus. The piece was sheltered and made viewable at the site until 2015, when it was removed for conservation at the nearby museum. This 8-minute video provides an enlightening look at the delicate preservation and restoration process, following archeologists and art restorers as they work to detach, transport and repair the precious mosaic.
