Saw the Venus of Capua at the Naples Archaeological Museum in March—breathtaking in person. Ever since I saw the Crouching Venus in London years ago, she’s been a favorite. This moment was unforgettable.

Priestess statue from Pompeii’s macellum—a 1st c. AD nod to the imperial cult in a bustling market. Veil, infula, and incense burner mark her sacred role.

Seen at the Naples Archaeological Museum, Mar 24.
