A Roman relief depicting a procession
The #ancient rituals of the #Argei took place in #Rome on 16 & 17th #March each year. Human effigies were collected from shrines by a procession of pontiffs & #Vestals , before being thrown into the River #Tiber.
Procession, #AraPacis
From a Roman holiday a few years back. I like the juxtaposition of #architecture (old, new; sacred, secular; white, color) across the #Tiber. #alphabetchallenge #WeekJforJuxtaposition #Coloraday #orangeSun #Stunday #urbangaze #streetphotography #photography #anzaa #eastcoastkin #blueskyphotography
Do you know the city of #Rome? Which sits at a higher altitude? The Via Salaria in the north east, or Monte Mario across the #Tiber in the west.
L‘occhialone del Ponte Sisto, das kreisrunde Loch auf 13m Höhe in der einzigen päpstlichen Brücke (1479) war in früheren Jahrhunderten ein Hochwasser-Indikator. Der Pegel konnte auf fast 20 Meter steigen, im Winter 1598 ertranken 1400 Menschen.
Roma, stasera.

BRONZE HEAD OF VALENTINIAN I OR VALENS, 365-366 CE. PALAZZO MASSIMO ALLE TERME Recovered in eight fragments, the head has been pieced back together. The emperor, whether Valentinian or Valens, wears a diadem band decorated with gemstones set between two strings of pearls. This type of ornament, a rosette-diadem, became a distinctive feature of late antique and Byzantine imperial portraiture. The head looks forward frontally, above the heads of the viewers, as someone who is far-seeing and responsible for the defence of the city. It is likely that this head originally belonged to the gilded bronze toga-clad statue found in the same area. This head thus serves as an example of the reuse and adaptation of earlier sculptures, renewed and updated with a later emperor's likeness for celebratory purposes, reaffirming the temporal continuity of imperial authority.
#SpoliaSunday continues with the very lacunar substitute head of the bronze #togatus of the Bridge of Valentinian. Only the eyes, an ear, some of the forehead, hair, and imperial diadem have been recovered. The #Tiber has its ghosts. #AncientBluesky 🏺
BRONZE TOGATE STATUE, 1-67 CE. PALAZZO MASSIMO ALLE TERME This statue was recently pieced together from 33 fragments found on the riverbed of the Tiber at the level of the C15 ponte Sisto, which was probably built on the foundations of the C4 pons Valentiniani, constructed by Valentinian I and his brother Valens in 365-367 on the site of a yet earlier bridge. Here we see the form of a man in a toga, perhaps a Julio-Claudian emperor, who seems to be coalescing into solidity from the past. Large traces of gilding remain on both the toga and the skin of this figure, who stands in an oratorical pose with his right hand stretched out. The statue's original head is lost, but pieces of a replacement head showing Valentinian I (or Valens) are displayed nearby. This was C4 Rome despoiling a monument of C1 Rome for propaganda purposes.
For #SpoliaSunday, a ghostly #bronze #statue of a #togatus, probably an #emperor, of the C1 CE, found in shards in the #Tiber at the site of the #pons Valentiniani in #Rome, rebuilt as the #PonteSisto: its head had been replaced by a portrait of #Valentinian I, from 365-366 CE. #AncientBluesky 🏺
Tiber on a winter's night
Just published the second of two short #Substack articles looking at the River #Tiber.
The first, last week, looked at the geography of the River from Umbria to #Rome. While today we dug out some history, #disasters and those who knew how to tame the dangers.

Today our Fun Friends, the #AncientRomans would have been getting down with #FestivalofFaunus!
Two festivals, called #Faunalia, were celebrated in his honor—one on 13 February, in the temple of #Faunus on the island in the #Tiber, the other on 5 December,

GEOMETRIC FLOOR MOSAIC, C3-C4 CE. PALAZZO MASSIMO ALLE TERME This elegant mosaic comes from the complex of the river port at Pietra Papa across the Tiber from S. Paolo fuori le Mura. This complex site includes a villa of the C1 or early C2 CE which was partially levelled and built on top of in the mid C2, with either a luxurious private residence or a small set of thermæ presumably frequented by the sailors and port workers. In either case, the site had a long life: this mosaic floor dates from the late C3 or early C4. It has a sophisticated design, a circle inscribed into a square, with a pattern of squares, diamonds, and triangles which all resolve themselves into a hexagon at the centre. Each shape contains a stylised flower against a white background, and all the shapes are framed in a continuous guilloche. The limited palette suggests that only local stone was available.
Everybody likes a sailor. #MosaicMonday takes us to the Porto Fluviale or port of the #Tiber riverbank on the #Trastevere side across from #SanPaolofuorileMura. This #mosaic may have been part of a bath complex for the use of sailors and dock workers. #AncientBluesky 🏺
Rome mayor’s claim of swimmable #Tiber in five years met with #scepticism
Experts unconvinced by mooted timescale for river to be reopened for public bathing
...Perhaps not in 5 years, but it is (perhaps) doable in 50... 🤔

FRESCO FRAGMENT, 30-20 BCE, FROM THE ROMAN VILLA OF THE FARNESINA. PALAZZO MASSIMO ALLE TERME The luscious colours, green and violet, of this woman's tunic and stola, and their near-weightlessness, denote luxury, as does all the decoration in this villa, which is widely thought to have belonged to Augustus' daughter Julia and her husband, Augustus' best friend Agrippa. This fragment comes from a long corridor with Egyptian motifs, celebrating the Roman conquest of Egypt, and this female figure, which survives from the waist down, is dancing, one foot lifted delicately off the ground, the other poised on its toes. She might be a Maenad, or perhaps a devotee of the goddess Isis whose worship involved dance. Her swirling draperies, even after many centuries in the mud of the Tiber riverbank, invite us to join the dance, showing the level of expertise reached by Roman painters in the time of the first emperor.
Let's dance! #FrescoFriday returns us to the #domus of #Agrippa and #Julia demolished in the late C19 during works that, in straightening the #Tiber at the suggestion of #Garibaldi, destroyed 40% of the gardens of the #VillaFarnesina in #Rome as well as this #Augustan mansion. #AncientBluesky 🏺
FUNERARY INSCRIPTION OF A. CORNELIUS PRISCUS, 50-100 CE. BATHS OF DIOCLETIAN A(ulus) Cornelius A(uli) libertus) / Priscus, sagarius / de horreis Galbianis, / v(ivus) f(ecit) sibi et / Corneliae Dextri libert(ae) / Erotidi coniugi suae et / A(ulo) Cornelio A(uli) I(iberto) Romano / conliberto suo et /A(ulo) Cornelio A(uli) l(iberto) Corintho / liberto suo et / ceteris libertis / libertabusque omnibus / suis posterisque eorum. This tomb marker was found in 1898 during drain works near S. Paolo fuori le Mura, and hence probably came from the large necropolis of the via Ostiensis. It commemorates the freedman Aulus Cornelius Priscus, who, while living, had a tomb built for himself, his sexily-named wife Cornelia Erotis, his fellow freedman A. Cornelius Romanus, his own freedman A. Cornelius Corinthus, all his other freedmen and freedwomen, and their descendants. Freed slave solidarity! But the most interesting part of the inscription is where Priscus is described as a "sagarius de horreis Galbianis", a wool cloak (sagum) maker in the Horrea Galbiana, a warehouse/market built between the river and the Aventine cliffs by an ancestor of the short-lived emperor Galba. He must have made a lot of money to have built a tomb large enough to hold everyone he names. They were plausibly his co-workers.
#EpigraphyTuesday introduces us to a cloak-maker, Priscus, a #freedman of the #gensCornelia working in the huge warehouse / market of the #HorreaGalbiana down the #Tiber near the #Emporium in #Rome. #AncientBluesky 🏺

tho they are massive trucks, a small trail of vehicles can be seen snaking alongside a mountainside. The traffic is dwarfed by the huge hills rising precipitously on either side, out of a valley. in the foreground, a small structure with a green roof can be seen
The connection between Tibet and Nepal is a rugged area.. apparently recently devastated by flooding

🔥 Final day of the #Vestalia Festival!
#OTD, the Temple of #Vesta was purified in a ritual called stercoratio — the sweeping of filth, carried to the River #Tiber to cleanse the city.
Known as Quando Stercum Delatum Fas — “when dung may be removed lawfully.”
A powerful Roman ritual of renewal. 🏛️💧

Happy Ludi Piscatorii! 🐟
Let's go fishing with hooks and nets!
On June 7th, the fishermen guilds in #Rome celebrated the Ludi Piscatorii (Games of the Fishermen) in honour of the God Tiberinus, the River #Tiber itself.
The chatch of the day was then sacrificed by the fire in the Temple of #Vulcan.
