#EpigraphyTuesday returns us to the #VaticanMuseums where an #inscription looms over the #sarcophagus of the empress #Helena and doom hangs over her family. After the execution of her grandson #Crispus, Helena in her grief went to #Jerusalem to start relic-hunting.

For #MosaicMonday, a version of Pliny's Doves from 200 years before the more famous example in the #CapitolineMuseums, this one from #Pompeii and now in #Naples. This one has a splendid garlanded #frame with theatrical #masks, and two extra doves. Superlative.

Today's #SarcophagusSaturday comes from the #VaticanMuseums. This #sarcophagus shows the beautiful, ever-young #Nereids, chief of them #Thetis, bringing #Achilles his armour. A voyage across the sea evoked the passage from life to afterlife.

@Mobyhaque1 When you realise the Athletic a subsidiary of the New York Times, formerly owned the Boston Globe. Now owned by JHenry of FSG.

Before Rome was even part of the new kingdom, #Milan used #spolia to manufacture a local #Romanitas. These #Roman reliefs were inserted into the #medieval gate of #PortaNuova in the 1860s as visual nation-building, today's theme for #SpoliaSunday.

@TheAnfieldWrap Call it what it is. Major underachieving with a great squad of players. No way Diaz and Nunez were a 20+ point drop off. It was coaching or lack of. Plain and simple. 3 days off a week 👀

From the villa of #Munatia #Procula at #TorMarancia along the via #Appia, this #fresco is one of five once painted for the same small room, each one a single mythical female figure who transgressed social boundaries. This is #Myrrha, cursed by #Venus to desire her own father.

@AnfieldSector And a handful of signings doesn't change that either. Just less senior figures about
