🤯 After 10 years & $24,300, one fan has broken a Marvel Comics world record thepopverse.com/comics-movies-…

@tykestakeonit She was also a rabid brexiteer.

This creature is enough to put you off your breakfast. 🤮

@piersmorgan These are the people that stoke hate and endanger the lives of Jews.

Disgusting.

@carolemadge Do u think this intricate design would have been painted?

#ArtefactSunday - Roman oil lamp featuring Odysseus and the Sirens. The lamp bears on the back the signature SAECVL of an Italian workshop that was very active in the years AD 175-225. This lamp, with a long beak and a vertical handle, is decorated with a very finely detailed medallion depicting the scene of Odysseus/Ulysses charmed by the Sirens: the hero, recognisable by his cap and tunic, is attached, from the front, to the ship's pole, led by rowers and a pilot. In the background, on the rocky and wooded coast, the Sirens, with the wings and feet of birds, play one of the lyre, the second of the syrinx, the third of the double flute. Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris.

@KhlorosP Good point!

The Artemis worshipped in Ephesus was a mother goddess rather than her usual form of a huntress.

@KhlorosP They don’t show the correct number of columns but the basic idea is there.

@ivan_ruggeri I've actually come some coins that may depict the temple, or at least they show Artemis of Ephesus in a temple

A size comparison between the Temple of Artemis (one of the seven wonders of the ancient world), the Parthenon and the Temple of Apollo at Didyma.

@par_virtual @3dStoa Thank goodness it was stolen, it would certainly have been destroyed or defaced by the Turkish invaders.

Hace poco creamos desde @3dStoa el visor #3DGS de los teatrarcas de Venecia, una obra fundamental robada de Constantinopla. Podéis verlo de forma interactiva desde aquí.👇 superspl.at/scene/9a09901e

@MarinaPurkiss @JeremyVineOn5 You did a great job Marina!! He’s just a brain washed Netanyahu apologist.

I found this whole exchange appalling to be honest… I don’t know how to debate this Genuinely Rude, dismissive, and unable to acknowledge any role that the actions of the Israeli government plays in fanning antisemitism.

@RpsAgainstTrump He boasted that he would end the Ukraine war in 24 hours.

Trump: Biden gave 350 billion dollars for Ukraine, which was insane. It’s one of the reasons why the war went on. No, you f*cking traitor. The war continues because your buddy Putin is still bombing and occupying Ukraine, and you won’t hold him accountable for it.

@BenGoldsmith @OldLondonW14 Silly arse!

The pollen from the London plane trees during these two weeks of the year is like fibreglass, gets in the eyes, throat, lungs. Nobody is immune. It’s not a native tree, it’s a man-made hybrid, even though many of them are pretty old. There ought to be a ban on planting it, and they should be gradually replaced with native trees.

@histories_arch Where is the central panel of the mosaic?

Zonguldak Kadıoğlu Mosaics (3rd Century AD)..... A very important archaeological site from Roman period located in the Çobanhasanlar neighborhood of Kadıoğlu village in the Çaycuma district of Zonguldak, Türkiye 🇹🇷 The remains of Villa Rustica, a rural farmhouse, believed to belong to a wealthy farm owner of the time. Unearthed through archaeological excavations conducted by the Ereğli Museum Directorate between 2008-2011. A mythological scene depicting the attack of King Lycurgus of Thrace on Ambrosia.... King of Thrace, Enemy of Dionysus, the god of wine and revelry. A nymph who was one of Dionysus's caretakers. Lycurgus wants to ban the cult of Dionysus. He attacks Ambrosia. The gods transform Ambrosia into a vine to protect her. As Lykurgos struck the vine with his dagger, the vine wrapped around him, strangling him to death. #archaeohistories

@MbarkCherguia This is not a wonder, it’s a hideous retrograde rehash. Give me Bauhaus any time over this pastiche.

Why did humans stop building wonders?

@carolemadge @NCDrusus38 Possibly it might have looked like this with its original colours.

#PortraitThursday - Bust of Antinous as Osiris from Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli. Dated AD 130-138. Carved in marble, the head bears the distinctive features that make Antinous instantly recognisable across surviving sculptures: a dense mass of softly modelled, tousled curls framing a smooth, rounded face; full lips and a straight nose; and, most strikingly, a downward gaze that lends the figure a quiet melancholy. Antinous is depicted as Osiris, the Egyptian god of the afterlife, reinforcing his deified status after his death. He is shown wearing the nemes, the striped royal headcloth associated with Egyptian pharaohs, along with the uraeus, the rearing cobra emblem that signifies divine kingship and protection. This syncretic portrayal, blending Roman portraiture, Greek idealism, and Egyptian religious symbolism, suggests rebirth and eternal life, themes closely tied to the Antinous cult under the patronage of Hadrian.

@RPH969 @NCDrusus38

Marble statue of Emperor Augustus from the ancient city of Julia Caesarea (Cherchell), Algeria; circa 1st century AD, height: 2.35 m, discovered in 1916. The artist showed a great concern for realism in detail; on display at the Archaeological Museum of Cherchell, Algeria.

@RPH969 @NCDrusus38 This is possibly what it originally looked like.

@RPH969 @NCDrusus38 Of course it would have been expertly painted and looked dazzling.

@HeraklesCithare Yes!!

Nulle route n’y a été tracée, aucune tranchée n’a fendu la terre pour y enfouir des réseaux, les lignes à haute tension ne polluent le panorama, et les humains ne s’y agglomèrent pas dans la dissonance permanente de leurs mégalopoles. Ces paysages nous fascinent car ils éveillent en nous le souvenir enfoui d’une humanité à son commencement.

@ShangguanJiewen @TariqAli_News None of the Chinese people I know want to return to China.

Francis Fukuyama admits that China's model has supplanted that of Western liberalism. 👇

@alistair_tosh @TheAncientWorld Am sure it was more impressive when fully painted

Relief found in the western principia strong room of Coria (Corbridge) #Roman fort. Hercules attacking the Hydra. It is much damaged but one tentacle can be seen wrapped around the Demi-gods arm. His patroness the goddess Minerva stands in the background watching over him.
