And stories that had been told and heard previously, but not really confirmed through established fact, became not unbelievable.

τά τε πρότερον ἀκοῇ μὲν λεγόμενα, ἔργῳ δὲ σπανιώτερον βεβαιούμενα οὐκ ἄπιστα κατέστη.

Thuc. 1.23.3

"You can tell the sun in his jealous sky / When we walked in fields of gold." For #FrescoFriday, the House of #Livia on the #Palatine. Painted c. 30 BCE during the ascendancy of #Augustus, this Second Style wall depicts his Golden Age of perpetual abundance. #AncientBluesky 🏺

FRESCO WITH GARLANDS AND COLUMNS, HOUSE OF LIVIA, C. 30 BCE. PALATINE HILL A section of ancient Roman fresco displaying the Second Style of wall painting. Though Livia only inhabited this house after Augustus's death in 14 CE, it was decorated circa 30 BCE, contemporary with the nearby House of Augustus. The flat wall is painted to create a three-dimensional illusion, with fluted columns framing a central panel. Suspended between them is a heavy garland of pine foliage, leaves, and round fruits. Crucially, these plants are shown fruiting and flowering simultaneously, defying the seasons. This impossible ripening is a visual manifesto of the Augustan Aurea Ætas or Golden Age of perpetual abundance. The artist painted subtle cast shadows behind the ribbon-tied garland to enhance the depth. Above is a horizontal yellow frieze featuring faintly-sketched, monochrome sacro-idyllic landscapes showing rural shrines.

Lipari's material culture has won me over, with its strong island identity and far-reaching Mediterranean ties. Once again, terracotta figurines loom large: a puppet with its miniature pottery set, as well as a grotesque old nurse with a badly behaved baby.🏺 #AncientBlueSky #archaeology

For #ReliefWednesday, this C5 BCE Athenian stele is a physical fragment of Phidian brilliance and a historical fragment of the dispersed Giustiniani collection. Breakage stimulates the imagination. As Sondheim wrote: "Nothing's changed / Only maybe slightly rearranged." #AncientBluesky 🏺

ATHENIAN FUNERARY RELIEF OF A HORSEMAN, C. 430-420 BCE. MUSEO GREGORIANO PROFANO A fragmentary marble funerary relief showing a bearded man in profile facing right, holding the reins of a horse. The man wears an exomis, leaving his right shoulder bare. The heavily muscled horse occupies the right side, its mane carved into crisp ridges. The jagged edges highlight its breakage. The carving radiates the influence of Phidias, echoing the Parthenon. Top right is the engraved mark "1823.C.C. 30", struck when the Cardinal Camerlengo rescued this piece for the Vatican following the dispersal of the C17 Giustiniani collection. This physical fragmentation mirrors the scattering of that great collection. While we deplore such losses, breakage stimulates our imaginations. Dispersal rearranges fragments into new contexts, creating a new kaleidoscopic vision of works of art. To quote Sondheim: "Everything's different / Nothing's changed / Only maybe slightly rearranged."

This isn't a hillfort, but I'm posting it on #ancientBluesky anyway... Incredible amphora/dolia with friezes representing the Trojan War. Love the warriors peeking out of the horse on the neck of the vessel! Some of the scenes below are v violent though 😬 At the Mykonos Archaeological Museum, 📸mine

For #31DaysOfHalloween. The Skull Wall (tzompantli) from the Aztecs' Great Temple in Tenochtitlan, now Mexico City (2015). #mesoamerica #mexico #indigenous #art #archaeology #WallsOnWednesday #photography #ruins #Aztecs #AncientBlueSky #mexicocity #cdmx #ciudaddemexico #EastCoastKin #ECK #WCK

This photo shows a tight, detailed view of the Tzompantli, a prominent archaeological relief wall located at the ancient Aztec Templo Mayor ruins in Mexico City, Mexico. The structure is composed of tightly grouped, repeating rows and columns of carved stone human skulls. It serves as a stylized architectural representation of a traditional Mesoamerican skull rack used to display sacrificial victims.

But even a paterfamilias like M. Aurelius Sabinus, whose inscription is walled into a hotel bar on via Giulia, could be tempted back into service as an "EVOK" (NB not an Ewok) by the double pay and comfortable emoluments. #AncientBluesky 🏺

FUNERARY INSCRIPTION FOR AN EVOCATUS, C3 CE. VIA GIULIA A sharply preserved marble funerary panel set into a wall. The Latin text translates to: "To the departed shades. For Marcus Aurelius Sabinus, an evocatus (recalled veteran), who lived 56 years, 4 months, and 8 days. Aurelius Crispinus, an evocatus and his brother, and Marcus Aurelius Sabinus, his stepson, and the Aurelii Sabinianus and Crispinus, his grandsons, and Aurelia Maxima, his sister, and Aurelius Marcianus, his foster child, his heirs, made this." In striking contrast to Ingenuus, Sabinus was a paterfamilias leading a large multigenerational family. The ubiquitous Aurelius name suggests a date just after the 212 CE universal grant of citizenship. The archaic K in "EVOK" visually elevates the title, linking this soldier to the ancient, honourable Republican tradition of elite recalled veterans. The left edge was digitally restored to remove a modern barrier.
