The fierce face of the North Wind - Boreas This remarkable Roman bronze from the 1st century CE captures the power and wild spirit of Boreas, the purple-winged god of the north wind and bringer of winter. In Greek mythology, Boreas was one of the Anemoi, the four directional wind gods who ruled over the changing skies and seasons. From his icy home in the northern mountains of Thrace (Thrake), Boreas swept down with roaring gusts and snow-filled tempests, chilling the air with his breath. His arrival marked the deep freeze of winter, a reminder of nature's untamed and divine forces. Yet beyond Boreas's frozen domain lay Hyperborea — a mythical land of eternal spring and radiant sunlight, untouched by his cold winds. The ancient Greeks imagined it as a paradise "beyond the north wind," a place where humans lived in harmony with the gods, forever bathed in warmth and light. This bronze head, with its windswept hair and intense expression, evokes both the strength and the majesty of Boreas — a being both feared and revered. It reminds us how deeply the ancients connected the elements of nature with divine presence, giving faces and stories to the forces that shaped their world.

Ein römisches Tintenfass aus Ladenburg.
Die Römer verwendeten unter anderem Rußtinte, sie wurde in Brocken aufbewahrt und mit Flüssigkeit angerührt. Daneben gab es Eisengallustinte. Cicero berichtet zudem von Tinte, die aus dem Sekret des Tintenfisches hergestellt wurde.

Auf dem Bild ist ein rundes, bauchiges Keramikgefäß zu sehen. Es hat eine glatte, rötlich-braune glänzende Oberfläche. Das Gefäß besitzt eine relativ kleine runde Öffnung in der Mitte der Oberseite, die etwas vertieft liegt. Der Rand um die Öffnung herum ist breiter und leicht nach innen gezogen.

#AncientRoman roads are one of the most enduring engineering achievements of the #AncientWorld. While the #Romans are credited with revolutionizing road construction, they likely adopted many foundational techniques from the #Etruscans and refined them over time. 🖼️Infographic by Simeon Netchev.

Amazing Roman tomb from Argentoratum (Strasbourg), family of Valerius Rufus, first half 1st century ce. Almost life-size figures: two figures in military dress, a third wearing a toga (so perhaps a veteran). 1/4 #AncientBluesky #Romanhistory #ancientRoman #Strasbourg

During the era of the Herodian Tetrarchy, the #RomanEmpire increased its influence in #theLevant, marking a significant  shift in regional power dynamics, ultimately resulting in the erosion of the Herodian #dynasty and imposition of direct #AncientRoman rule. 🗺️: Simeon Netchev. #AncientHistory

But something's not quite right. Priapus & Flora aren't connected in any #pantheon pedigrees - and Priapus is the Greek and Flora the Roman name for those dieties. If we look up Melicerta on @humanitiestufts.bsky.social's Perseus, we find from Charlton T. Lewis & Charles Short's A Latin Dictionary.
Screenshot of text, reading: Mĕlĭcerta and Mĕlĭcertes , ae, m., = Μελικέρτης, I. son of Ino and the Theban king Athamas. His mother, pursued by her husband in his madness, threw herself into the sea with Melicerta, who became a seagod, called by the Greeks Palaemon, and by the Romans Portunus, Ov. M. 4, 522; cf. Verg. G. 1, 437; Ov. F. 6, 485 sq.; Pers. 5, 103. [Source:] A Latin Dictionary. Founded on Andrews' edition of Freund's Latin dictionary. revised, enlarged, and in great part rewritten by. Charlton T. Lewis, Ph.D. and. Charles Short, LL.D. Oxford. Clarendon Press. 1879. [Credit:] The National Endowment for the Humanities provided support for entering this text.

Darwin was a #bro. Here we explore the evolution from the Roman Empire to Darwin-era naturalism to today's #Christofascism. Full post: fascinarygames.com/darwin-bro/

#darwin #patriarchy #feminism #histsci #biology #fascinus #ancientroman
You could say the Romans perfected a society utterly dominated by men. The people who gave us patriarchy also thrust the phallus into our cultural history as a symbol of power and protection. It comes up a lot in their art. It’s hard to miss it. Not surprising given how engorged they were over bro dude domination. The Catholic Church happily carried on these ideas after the fall of the Roman Empire. Patriarchal society did not change much in Europe from the fall of Rome in 476 down to 1831 when Darwin set sail on the Beagle to study South American’s biological diversity. It may have been watered down a bit, but not by much. Women held no substantive legal rights in Europe at this time. It was in this patriarchal stew that scientists began to formulate our early understanding of the biological development of the world’s species.
