#PhallusThursday - It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s super phallus! This winged beautiful is here, there, and everywhere to save you from the evil eye. And it comes complete with a cute little phallus tail 🥺
Amazing new discovery: A mosaic was discovered in Elazığ, Türkiye, dating back to the late #Roman#Byzantinewww.dailysabah.com/gallery/roma...

Excited for Jenny’s upcoming novel set in the Late Roman Empire! If you enjoy @ancienthistoryfan.bsky.social, this is definitely worth checking out. There’s Romans, imperial politics, and a dash of Visigoths to enjoy 🥳
#ReliefWednesday Eros takes a turn about the room this hump day with a brimming cornucopia and some gloriously gestured wings in this stucco relief. 🏛️ The Met 📍Original provenance unclear
#MosaicMonday Let yourself float on the gentle tides of the Mediterranean (even if only in your imagination in this moment). Feel the calm waters and the little fish brush past your fingertips. Wave to the passing octopus with the long and short tentacles.

Certainly demonstrates the way training in the discipline shapes and hones ideas 😁
