Lucius Aelius Caesar, intended heir to Hadrian. Born Lucius Ceionius Commodus on 13 January 101 CE, he was abruptly adopted by Hadrian in 136, after a near-fatal hemorrhage convinced the emperor that a designated successor was needed. (The move angered two men who had thought themselves in line for the position, Hadrian's brother-in-law Servianus and his grandson Fuscus Salinator. Claims of a planned coup circulated, and Hadrian had both men executed, which cast a dark cloud over the last years of his reign.) Lucius Aelius himself was in poor health and predeceased Hadrian on 1 January 138. In his stead, Hadrian adopted the future Antoninus Pius and compelled Antoninus in turn to adopt two heirs: the future Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Aelius' son, the future Lucius Verus.

Marsyas before and after his flaying: the twin statues of the Hanging Marsyas and the Red Marsyas face each other across this passage in the Uffizzi Gallery in Florence. Marsyas, punished by art itself for daring to challenge it, with his mad rictus of pain.

Non so se piango perché ho visto una monumento di Canova dedicata a Vittorio Alfieri, o perché ho visto il David di Michelangelo o perché ho scattato questa foto dagli Uffizi, fatto sta che vorrei essere seppellita in ognuno dei 3 posti
