🪷 #Antinous may have seen this mosaic of a drunk Memento Mori skeleton, reclining on a cushion with wine and bread, admonishing mortals to "Be merry, enjoy life!" It adorns a villa in #Antioch, which #Antinoos and #Hadrian visited in winter of 129 AD: antinousstars.blogspot.co…. 🪷

🪷 On 4 Aug 1897 la Dama De Elche was found in Spain. She pre-dates Rome. Who is she? What does she represent? What does she mean? Did #Hadrian 's Hispanic ancestors worship her? No one knows the answers to these questions! #DamaDeElche 🪷

🪷 Roman Emperor #LuciusVerus was born 15 December 130 AD, just weeks after #Antinous died. As a boy, he was hand-picked by #Hadrian to be future co-ruler with #MarcusAurelius after #AntoninusPius. A wise choice! #Lucius #Verus died 1 March 161 AD. More: antinousstars.blogspot.co…. 🪷

#Alphabetchallenge #WeekIforInside Wandering within the walls of the Castel Sant'Angelo - Rome. #photography 📷 #travel ✈️ #Italy 🇮🇹 #Rome #castle #mausoleum #museum #Hadrian #eastcoastkin #history

Inside the ancient walls of a cylindrical building in Rome, Italy, in the courtyard areas on what looks to be a sunny day as seen over the turrets where the tops of trees and some buildings of Rome can also be seen. It appears that the building has about four levels from this scene, but the building was at one point the tallest in Rome. The structure was initially commissioned by the Roman Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The popes later used the building as a fortress and castle, and it is now a museum. It was also once used as a prison. The image shows how intact the interior grounds still are, containing buildings and ground comprised of light coloured stone and brick. It is a busy scene, showing a medley of windows, doors, turrets, arches, statues, directional staircases, tiled roofs and passageways. There are three tourists standing looking down at another section of the interior from just below the turrets.

For #MosaicMonday, a rather sad looking centaur about to bash the living daylights out of a tiger with a boulder. Although, to be fair, the tiger is eating his best mate. I'd be sad, too. Hadrian's Villa, Tivoli, cAD 130. #Archaeology #Romanhistory #Hadrian #AncientBluesky
