"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.

Rome linked emperors to sacred authority.

Modern personality cults used mass media to make leaders seem indispensable.

What happens when loyalty crowds out judgment?

Missing his nose, but that distinctive hair style gives Augustus away. In this sculpture from the Museo Archeologico Nazionale Firenze visiting the Melbourne Museum, Augustus sports a laurel wreath as well!

Was auch immer jetzt aus Jens #Spahn werden wird ... In der Funktion der fragwürdigen #CDUCSU Polit-Gestalt hat er mit Philipp #Augustus #Amthor einen würdigen Nachfolger.

I found Rome a city of bricks and left it a city of marble.
