We see part of the Colosseum in Rome. It's real name is The Flavian Amphitheater, after the dynasty of Emperors who built and upgraded it. We see windows above and gates at the bottom. The numerous small holes in the facade are where marble plates were once fixed. The Colosseum would have been gleaming white when it was in use.

Criminals are wildcards, unable to be pinned down or pigeonholed into one role. They are people of extremes, acustomed to the discomforts of the world and at their best under circumstances most dire.

Illuminated manuscript depiction of Venus approaching a reclining Aeneas from the sky
On #FindARainbowDay, let's turn to #AncientRome for depictions of #rainbows. To the Romans, the rainbow was a sign of the supernatural. A 5th century AD manuscript of Virgil's works, Vergilius Romanus, depicts a scene where Venus appears to her son Aeneas with a rainbow arching above her.
"Rome was never really still, but steps echoed more at night."
From Tyrant, by Conn Iggulden
Sounds carry at night in Rome.
I like how this author conjured up what I felt with so few words.

What a way to celebrate Friday with this gorgeous depiction of Venus. She appears to glide across the sea as she reclines in a shell. She is accompanied by a nereid riding a dolphin and Cupid shyly hanging back behind the shell.

The brothers hated each other. They divided the imperial palace, built separate entrances, and even considered splitting the empire in two. Their mother, Julia Domna, tried desperately to mediate. #AncientRome #SeveranDynasty
