Die Engelsstatuen in der Engelsburg in Rom verkörpern eine faszinierende Verbindung von Kunst und Geschichte. Ursprünglich als Mausoleum für Kaiser Hadrian erbaut, wurde die Burg später eine Festung. Besonders beeindruckend ist der Erzengel Michael, der das Schwert schwingt – ein Symbol des Schutzes und der göttlichen Macht über die Stadt.

The angel statues in Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome represent a captivating blend of art and history. Originally built as Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum, the castle later became a fortress. Particularly striking is the Archangel Michael, wielding a sword—a symbol of protection and divine power over the city.

This whole #RomanEmpire trend-thing is slightly depressing, since my favourite #nhl #hockey team is the #OttawaSenators, my favourite book is #GuyGavrielKay's brilliant #SarantineMosaic (set in a version of Justinian's Byzantium), and #MikeDuncan's #HistoryOfRome podcast is one of the several that I cycle between as calming-bedtime-noise (living in the city, I find that putting on a soothing voice speaking in a measured tone helps to drown out other noises much better than a fan or other white-noise does). Stop co-opting all the stuff I like, problematic hetero dudes! 😾

Anyone else been following Mike Duncan's "Revolutions" podcast? It's about to come to a conclusion but it's worth finding & listening to if you're into #history, especially political history. Mike also did a podcast called "The History of Rome." #RevolutionsPodcast #HistoryOfRome #MikeDuncan
