#PortraitThursday - Marble portrait of an elderly man wearing a hat with a large circular brim. This artwork illustrates the Roman tradition of verism, a style that emphasises realistic and often unflattering features. The sagging skin under the eyes, pronounced cheekbones, and fleshy nose contribute to the figure's lifelike presence. The eyes are carved without pupils, which is a typical characteristic of earlier Roman styles, giving the portrait a blank yet intense gaze.
Some scholars consider it a Hellenistic Greek work of the late 3rd or early 2nd century BC; others consider it a late Republican Roman work of the 1st century BC.
From the Torlonia Collection.

@razibkhan Maybe later shared input from Anatolia or other parts of Roman empire (during brief period of Jewish proselytizing/ intermarriage) that later went muslim?

The most common Chinese term for Chinatown is ‘Tang people street,’ 唐人街 hong3ngin3gai4/tong4jan4gaai1, but there is another interesting term: 華埠 va3feu5/waa4fau6 (‘Chinese city’), which can still be seen in various places.

I love the Chinese translation of ‘government’ in Victoria China Town’s ‘Government Street’: 加富門 Gaa1fu3mun4/Ga1fu1mon3, WEALTH INCREASING GATE (or maybe even CANADA WEALTH PORTE?). The phono-semantic match also has a lovely Yue/Canto flavour to it 😁😁

Under priced analysis here is that the Iranian regime can win this war simply by surviving, even in a decapitated zombie state. Tehran’s capacity for domestic repression can be rebuilt as soon as skies clear. IRGC doesn’t need a functioning ballistic program to remain in power.

@miniapeur In air, a heavier stone will fall faster (because the force from air resistance is speed-dependent).
They will only fall at the same speed in a vacuum... but Aristotle did not believe in vacuum!
