Petal Upon Water comes up to about Ma-Hadur’s waist.
The size discrepancy is even more extreme between his fellow student, the Minotaur Palaestra, and Petal Upon Water.

This lead drain allowed water to exit an open air pool at the Roman baths of Durovernum Cantiacorum (modern-day Canterbury). The 1.2m deep pool was situated in the palaestra, or exercise yard, and was probably fed with water from natural springs. #FindsFriday

Plato & Xenophon's Socratic Gospels. Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John's Jesusian Dialogues. I do think I'd like Jesus better if he'd been an annoying old man picking apart everybody's arguments about everything in between horny posting about the hottest boys in the palaestra. But that goes without saying

Igår lyssnade jag på den israeliske historikern Ilan Pappé i ett fullsatt Palaestra. Bra arrangemang med intressant samtal. Nu gör han en turné med offentliga föreläsningar i veckan till Göteborg (idag), Linköping och Stockholm. Men man får vara ute i god tid (i Lund fick inte alla plats).

#RomanBritain

In the #Roman period #Chester was known as Castra Deva (prounced Dewa), meaning "the military camp on the River Dee" Chester began life as a fort occupied by the 20th Legion (Valeria Victrix).

#RomanSiteSaturday #History
#Archaeology
The history of Chester extends back nearly two millennia, covering all periods of British history in between then and the present day. The city of Chester was founded as a fort, known as Deva Vitrix, by the Romans in AD 70s, as early as AD 74 based on discovered lead pipes. The city was the scene of battles between warring Welsh and Saxon kingdoms throughout the post-Roman years until the Saxons strengthened the fort against raiding Danes. Chester Amphitheatre is a Roman amphitheatre in Chester, Cheshire. The site is managed by English Heritage; it is designated as a Grade I listed building, and a scheduled monument. The ruins currently exposed are those of a large stone amphitheatre, similar to those found in Continental Europe, and although it was long believed that a smaller wooden amphitheatre existed on the site beforehand, excavations since 1999 have shown that the wooden grillage is the base of the seating. Today, only the northern half of the structure is exposed; the southern half is covered by buildings, some of which are themselves listed. Several original Roman column bases and reconstructed displays can be found across Chester (Deva Victrix), primarily originating from the fortress's headquarters and public buildings. Key Locations to View Column Bases The Roman Gardens: Located near the Newgate, this public park displays several column bases and shafts discovered throughout the city. Notable pieces include: Columns from the exercise hall (palaestra) of the Roman bath house (thermae), which originally stood about 6 meters tall. The largest column currently in the gardens, which originated from the assembly hall of the headquarters building (principia). Northgate Street: Several bases are visible in situ or nearby: 21-23 Northgate Street: Column bases from the headquarters building are preserved in the basement. Pret a Manger (No. 40-42): Two large Roman pillar bases are visible beneath a glass section of the floor. Outside the Coach House Inn: Relocated Roman column bases are displayed on the pavement just north of the Town Hall. Romans built earthen ramparts with wooden palisades for their fortress, Deva Victrix. Stone Reconstruction: From about 100 AD, these were reconstructed with local sandstone, a process that took over a century. Roman stones, including tombstones, were sometimes reused in later repairs Model of how Deva Victrix would probably have looked The Romans founded Chester as Deva Victrix in AD 70s in the land of the Celtic Cornovii, according to ancient cartographer Ptolemy,[1] as a fortress during the Roman expansion north. It was named Deva either after the goddess of the Dee, or directly from the British name for the river. The 'victrix' part of the name was taken from the title of the Legio XX Valeria Victrix who were based at Deva. A civilian settlement grew around the settlement, probably starting as a group of traders and their families who were profiting from trade with the fortress. The fortress was 20% larger than other fortresses in Britannia built around the same time at York (Eboracum) and Caerleon (Isca Augusta); this has led to the suggestion that the fortress may have been intended to become the capital of the Roman province rather than London (Londinium). A perhaps likelier explanation is that there was more tribal unrest in what is now northern England, and so a larger garrison was needed.

Day 6 of #FantasyIndiesDecember

Another unedited snippet from Book 7 of my Oracle of Delphi series WIP.

#WritingCommunity
The Pythian Games were soon to begin, and the polis and Sanctuary were filled with visitors from every corner of Hellas. The athletes, of course, had been lucky enough to receive the best accommodations, for they were required to be present a full month prior to the Games, and train for that month at the gymnasion and palaestra. Initially this was to ensure there was no cheating, but over time most athletes and trainers discovered it also ensured they had the best rooms, food, and services before the crowds arrived. And, in many cases, they had the training facilities all to themselves. List of daily post prompts for indie fantasy authors for December.

That morning, Barates stood on the public practice area of Corcyra’s palaestra with Leo and Hairan. Leo had issued them with heavy wooden swords.

Hairan was swinging his, cutting the air, warming up.

It had been a year since Barates had felt the heft of a sword in his hand.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but the stuff I learned in the Wikipedia article for "ancient Greek wrestling" was even more homoerotic than I thought.

Just...start at the end of the "Palaestra" section, you'll see what I mean.
