Feb might be my best reading month in terms of scores in the last year or so, including bangers from @MoeWanders @L_R_Schulz and the amazing @FondaJLee. 🏆 Book of the Month goes to The Wall of Storms by @kyliu99. Another masterpiece from Ken. 🧵 (1/2)

The Lycian tombs at Sidyma are among the most atmospheric funerary landscapes in ancient Lycia, in southwestern Anatolia near modern Dodurga, not far from Fethiye. Sidyma’s tombs are scattered across steep, terraced hillsides, olive groves, and rocky outcrops rather than confined to a single necropolis. The site displays rock-cut house tombs, pillar tombs and sarcophagi with ogival lids.

Today 49BC Julius Caesar crosses the Rubicon, signaling the start of civil war. He was leading one legion, the Legio XIII Gemina. This act of war on the Roman Republic by Caesar led to widespread approval amongst the Roman civilians, who regarded him as a hero. The historical records differ about which decisive comment Caesar made on crossing the Rubicon: one report is Alea iacta est (usually translated as "The die is cast").
