Vous voulez connaître les fondateurs de Rome, mais en fait non, vous voulez connaître le fondateur de la lignée des fondateurs de Rome, et plus exactement comment le fondateur a galéré à fonder la fondation des fondateurs de Rome ? Lisez avec moi l'Énéide de Virgile, où Énée, le héros qui en chie, se prend dans la gueule tempêtes, défaites, ruptures et mésaventures.
Ce soir, entamons (ou commençons d'entamer) le livre IX de l'Énéide. Après nous avoir annoncé de la guerre depuis le début du livre VII, l'avoir délayé avec le récit circonstancié du casus belli, un catalogue des guerriers, des récits enchâssés et des ekphraseis, Virgile va-t-il enfin montrer de la baston ?
Soyez rassuré.e.s, followerzetweuses, car ce thread sera plein de sang, de CW et d'icônes gays.

Serious #Downfall vibes in the series finale of #Rome. I’m not an educated classicist and I know they had to change things for the show and its collapsing budget by this point, but I’m a bit skeptical that the real story was like this.
No wonder people see this show as a precursor to Game of Thrones - I may get round to watching that. I’ll have to rewatch season 1 later.
I also just bought Ten Caesars and will read it soon.
#history bubble: Does anyone have links to #3D printable #stoneage tools? Ancient #Greece and #Rome? There's a bit available for #Egypt ian statues, but I didn't find anything awesome either.
Are the gods Idle or active? Do they exist at all? How much can we ever know about them? Find out for yourself in this hot new dialogue from Cicero! Conclusions will not be reached and the question will be left open! #polytheism#pagan#philosophy#rome#god#theology
Good piece on these mysterious Roman dodecahedrons. More than 100 of these have been found around Europe and no one really knows what they were used for. More tests are being done on them. They're metal, and have survived undamaged for over 1700 years 🤯

Cool november Sunday visiting Rome with dear #MastoFriends@Lucatermite and @claus61. The wish was to go places a little unusual, possibly quiet and evocative; we started then with the Aventine Hill. The view from its slopes is one of the most famous in the world: Palatine Hill, hovering over the Circus Maximus.

My brother is getting married in #Oslo in a little over three weeks. In absolute disregard of the limits of what I'm capable of I decided to fly to #Rome with my #bike, to see if I can make it up there in time. I want to climb over the #alps. I want to experience #Italy on a #bicycle. #Germany and #Denmark are in the way so I have to do those too. After living in the US for four years I need to re-experience European bicycle infrastructure. #Eurovelo here I come. #bikepacking#midlifecrisis
Been watching some older #movies such as Cleopatra from 1963 and Ben Hur.
It's a really nice change of pace (quite literally). Movies are slower, take more time, show things and thanks to the practical effects, hold up well. I also like how "fit" and "attractive" characters were just people rather than dehydrated steroid recepticles.
I was surprised how great Cleopatra was. Very close to the amazing depcition of that time period in the marvellous #Rome by #HBO
365 German security & police forces sealed off the ghetto. 1,259 people were detained, comprising 363 men, 689 women, and 207 children. Afterwards, non-Jewish people were released while the Jews were detained at the Collegio militare in the Palazzo Salviati in Trastevere.
Two days later, a transport of 1,035 Jews left Tiburtina station and left towards Auschwitz.
