Imagine writing a 600-page travel blog about #China and "forgetting" to mention the #GreatWall, tea, or chopsticks. Turns out #MarcoPolo might have been the original travel influencer faking his location for clout from a cafe in #Persia.

Riton in lapislazuli e oro Collection: Abegg-Stiftung - Achemenid Persia • 5th century BC Carved in the deep blue of lapislazzuli and adorned with gold details, this rhyton takes on the form of a powerful caprid, depicted in a collected pose as the body of the vase rises behind its shoulders. The contrast between the intense stone and the luster of gold returns an object of extraordinary elegance, designed to combine ritual function and strong visual impact. Rhyta like this were used during libations and ceremonial banquets in the royal courts of ancient Persia. The gesture of pouring and drinking became part of a symbolic choreography, in which the vessel was not just a container, but a means between the earthly power, the sacred and the natural world. The animal form indicated strength, protection and fertility, central values in the Persian imaginary. In the Achemenian period (around 550-330 BC), luxury objects played a fundamental role in the representation of imperial power. Precious materials like lapislazzuli - imported from far-flung regions of Central Asia - and gold underscored the empire's breadth and control of trade routes. Rhyta were employed in elite ritual contexts or offered as diplomatic gifts, strengthening hierarchies, alliances and the divine legitimacy of the sovereign.

That feeling when you complete a hobby project milestone is a marvelous one.
Today I completed the front rank of my Achaemenid Persian cavalry.
It feels good to have gotten this far.

The Persian empire reached its greatest extent in 623 and was gone twenty years later. Khosrow II took the Levant, Egypt and Anatolia from Rome and held them about a decade. Then the Arab conquest took the rest, heartland included.
