I've just finished making these ancient Roman inspired "laurel wreath" crowns out of jewel beetle shells and preserved 17 year cicada wings. I've done three of the jewel beetle ones, so one is in my Etsy (link in bio), the cicada wing one is one of a kind so far so I haven't listed it yet. I'm really happy with how these came out!

Archaeologists Unearth Ancient Mosaic of Winged Medusa in Spain

The stunningly preserved Ancient Roman mosaic floor was found at the Huerta de Otero site in the city of Mérida.

In both ancient and modern interpretations, Medusa is often known as a monster — a Gorgon with tresses of serpents whose stare turned men to stone. This version typically appears in children’s movies and fantasy thrillers, but her image hasn’t always been so awe-inspiring. In late June, archaeologists in Western Spain uncovered an Ancient Roman mosaic floor that depicts Medusa with tiny wings and flowing locks of hair, thought to have been used as a protective symbol.

The mosaic was found in the city of Mérida’s Huerta de Otero archaeological site. Ancient Romans established a colony there in 25 BCE named Augusta Emerita. Traces of its former inhabitants — including an amphitheater and a bridge — can be found throughout the modern-day city. “[The site] is of an exceptional nature due to the level of conservation of the ruins and, above all, the ornamental elements that decorate the well-preserved house: not only the mosaic of the Medusa but also paintings and sculptural motifs,” said archaeologist Félix Palma in a statement.

The Huerta de Otero location was excavated in 1976 but lay untouched for decades. Research picked back up in 2019, when the city employed professional archaeologists and students from its Barraeca II Professional School to explore the ruins. Since then, the team has uncovered an Ancient Roman defensive wall, a road, and the home of a wealthy family.

The Medusa mosaic adorned the floor of this home. Depictions of fish, peacocks, and carefully tessellated patterns surround the artwork’s central figure: a human-like Medusa, her gaze turned to one side.

Although this image diverges from some contemporary renditions of the mythological figure, the mosaic’s winged version was common in Ancient portrayals of Medusa. While early Greek depictions of the mortal-turned-monster, cruelly punished for being raped by the god Poseidon, show her as grotesque, Medusa’s image softened by the time of the Ancient Romans. Beginning in the Classical Greek period, her face acquired more human attributes. It started to be rendered with symmetry and youthful beauty in the following centuries.

Other Ancient Roman mosaics featuring the head of Medusa have been discovered throughout Spain. Medusa again comprises the focal point of an Ancient Roman mosaic in a 115–150 CE work found in Rome, where she can be seen sporting human curls and a snake around her neck. A 1st-to-2nd-century ornament from a chariot pole shows a young woman with curly locks (although a couple of snakes still peer through her tangle of hair).

In Ancient Greek mythology, Perseus killed Medusa to avoid being turned to stone. Medusa, in her early terrifying form, was used as a protective symbol — “an image of evil to repel evil,” Madeleine Glennon writes in a 2017 essay for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The goddess Athena famously included a representation of Medusa’s severed head on her protective cloak or aegis. In Ancient Rome, her beautified image was still employed as a protective symbol, although the depiction shifted into a form more similar to a woman than a monster.

Cassandra Cain... batgirl 2000.... Unstoppable force and immovable object. She can kill like others breathe but she will never kill again. A knife can have more than one use. If she can change then maybe anyone can but not everyone will. She knows change cannot not free her. One life lost is a life too many and she has blood on her hands. She wants to die, but she has so much work left to do.

gggggrrrraaaah I think it is EXTREMELY important to us, as kendall likers, to remember the dog pound and the subsequent "two dogs" metaphor. like. like. there are TWO dogs. kendall is as much of a dog as roman is. he has just learned that his place in the hierarchy is above the weaker dog but below the handler. I feel like so fucking many people writing roman forget that kendall is also a dog in the metaphor and So many people writing kendall completely disregard the fact that he HAS learned that his place in the hierarchy is ensured by his ability to enact violence. and like. this is such an important aspect of his character. offtopic but have you guys thought about how toxic masculine ideals are intrinsically linked to the capitalistic system and how the only way to ensure your status in the hierarchy is to enact violence on those below you

#sorry for spelling out succession 101 for you here but like it really feels like some people need to read it. sometimes #sorry you can really tell I came across a fic that was. so stupid recently.#anyway I know none of My mutuals have incorrect opinions about fictional right wing billionaires #succession #kendall roy #roman roy

"We were supposed to fly into the sky together. If only I could..."

I can't get over the fact of this beautiful irony of Sunday who persisted to lock the bird (resembling Robin/people of Penacony) inside that cage, sacrificing its own freedom for a life seemingly free from suffering.

Yet, the caged bird is actually Sunday himself. Trapped in his own beliefs and ambitions, unable to soar into the sky and find his own freedom like others.
