#ClassicsTober25 Day 25 & 26: Tartaros & Punishment

The right short side of this sarcophagus of Protesilaos & Laodameia shows the Tartaros with Sisyphos, punished by externally rolling a stone up the hill, Ixion tied to an eternally spinning wheel, and Tantalos who couldn't drink the water.
The short side of the sarcophagus shows Sisyphos, naked, kneeling and holding a large stone over his head. Followed by Ixion, also naked, his arms tied to a large wheel, and on the right Tantalos bringing the water to his mouth, which runs down between his fingers.

If you haven't seen the exhibition with the amazing finds from San Casciano dei Bagni in #Berlin, you should absolutely go!

The bronze votives are more than incredible 💓

Just prolonged until November 9th, 2025: www.smb.museum/en/exhibitio...

#AncientBluesky 🏺 #Archaeology
Bronze votive statuette of a sitting chubby baby boy, with a large bulla around his neck and an Etruscan inscription on his right thigh. Bronze statuette of Apollon drawing his boy. The picture shows the elegantly curved figure from the back. A bronze votive showing half a torso. This almost life-size statue was worked in such a way that it only depicts only the left half of the torso with the left arm, but without the head. Latin inscription on the chest. Back of the head of a small female portrait bust with a first century CE braided hairstyle. The single strands of her hair are delicately incised.

The deceased child is wrapped in a shroud on this sarcophagus in the museum of Agrigento. As was the social ideal, the grieving parents sitting at the sides of the bed are composed. Only the nurse and pedagogue are openly showing emotions.

Glas bead depicting swans 🦢 From a 3rd c. CE tomb in Bennungen, Southern #Harz. On display at the Spengler-Museum in Sangerhausen.

#AncientBluesky 🏺 #Archaeology

www.spenglermuseum.de/en/
Black bead with two yellow bands forming medallions. In one medallion, there is a swan swimming from right to left. A further medallion encloses a swan swimming from left to right, its head turned back. In the third medallion, there is only a white blob with some white color flowing down on one side, as the reflection in the mirror that the bead stands on shows. View from above onto the bead.

Small-scale portrait of the Roman emperor Septimius Severus, 'Serapis type', made of plaster! Was this how imperial portrait types were transmitted to the provinces?

From the Faiyum in Egypt, now in the Liebieghaus in #Frankfurt.

#AncientBluesky 🏺 #Archaeology
Front view of the portrait of Septimius Severus, made of yellowish plaster, mounted on a stone cube as a base. Left profile of the plaster portrait of Septimius Severus. In the background, a bit blurred, is a marble bust of Marcus Aurelius. Right side of the portrait of Septimius Severus, three-quarters view. Back of the portrait of Septimius Severus. The back is almost flat, only in the bottom part is a protruding rim. Two inventory numbers are written on the plaster: LH 1525 and K 42 g.

Of the villa itself, not much is preserved today. The mosaic covered the floor of the central hall and is preserved underneath a protective building.
Southeastern part of the villa, only the lower parts of a few walls are preserved. In the background the modern building covering the mosaic. Northern peristyle of the villa with bases of the columns. Ground plan of the villa from the information panel on the site. The walls which are still preserved today are colored in black.

I love all the little details, also in the geometric frames of the images. For example, the point where tips of the lozenges meet: the different strands of the interlace are arranged like a fan - except in one place! What went wrong there? Or is this perhaps a modern restoration?
Detail of the geometric part of the mosaic: point where a square and two lozenges meet. All shapes ate framed by an interlace. Detail of the point where the lozenges meet: the different strands of the interlace are arranged like a fan. Another detail of the geometric part: in all places, the point where the tips of the lozenges meet have the same fan shape, except on the right. Detail of the geometric part of the mosaic where the point where the lozenges meet is designed differently: the meeting point of the interlaces looks somewhat muddled.

Auch sonst viele selbstkritische Töne zur Institution Uni, die ich so nicht erwartet hätte.

Wenn das jetzt noch Konsequenzen hätte...

Decima, on the right, weighs the thread with her pair of scales.
And Morta, in the middle, with her book of fate will cut the thread.

In an arched niche are the three seated female figures of the Parcae wearing long mantles covering their legs and with their relative attributes in their hands.

Quite a lot of wild sea life swimming around on this mosaic from the Roman baths of Bad Vibel near Frankfurt!

The inscription PERVINCUS has been interpreted as the mosaicist's signature.

The entire mosaic inside a peristyl in the museum built by Alfred Messel. Detail of the mosaic: a pair of ducks, a cupid, a hippocampus, and a triton playing a long trumpet.

Hier war er also aufgestellt, der Toro Farnese, in den Caracalla-Thermen in #Rom. Wahrscheinlich entweder in diesem viereckigen Saal (vielleicht vor der flachen Nische in der Wand) oder in der angrenzenden Exedra. Er muss winzig in dieser riesigen Struktur gewirkt haben!
