For #FrescoFriday a #Roman wall painting from the Casa dei Cervi in Herculaneum, depicting Cupids playing hide and seek. I especially like the one who covers his eyes -  nothing has changed since #Roman times.
In Roman wall painting of the 1st century AD, scenes depicting Cupid in everyday activities were very popular.

Dating 50/60 AD. Now at Museo Archeologico Nazionale,

@ninawillburger in my region we count against a wall or tree, eyes covered with the same arm as the one we use to lean on it. o>

But yeah, the same immemorial, universal games, like tag (maybe just the names change :)
