✨Orpheus✨
This #MosaicMonday we celebrate Orpheus, whose musical gifts were such that he was capable of attracting all manner of animals to his side. In this mosaic panel, found near Edessa and dated to 194 CE, Orpheus plays his lyre and predator and prey alike are soothed by his song.
A dick for good luck, my friend!

#CurrentlyReading Livy's History of Rome. Or at least Book I.
The first couple of paragraphs are very convoluted, but the main story about Romulus and the following kings can be surprisingly enjoyable.
Then again, there are also tales like the famous Rape of the Sabine Women, which makes you wonder why Romans told and retold that violent fiction as part of their origin story.
Starts in just over an hour!
