Florence Recce Trip - Day 5

I left Lucca on the train to Pisa (amidst cancellations due to strikes) and saw the Leaning Tower and the Baths of Nero before heading to the airport.

Athanasios Psilopoulos, a Greek marble mason who has been working on the restoration of the Parthenon since 1995, talked about what he discovered:

"When we took down the last column from the pronaos (the porch at the front of the temple), we found an ancient wooden dowel that had been there for 2.500 years. The fact that it hadn’t rotted away means that not even air was getting in. They took it and immediately put it in a vacuum chamber so it wouldn’t deteriorate. This is astonishing, two pieces of marble sealed so airtight that no air could enter. It’s incredible that you can join two marbles together and, after 2.500 years, find the wood inside still perfectly intact, and discover what was inside. I was stunned when I saw it. I said to myself, “We are nothing.” That’s what I said."

I hope that one day we get to see the Parthenon fully restored and complete, exactly as it was 2,500 years ago, with its original colors and the mythological representations of the ancient Greeks on the pediments.

@KerryLPhelan @Sarah404BC @MumblerJamie Η ομορφιά των αρχαίων νομισμάτων 😍
📷Αργυρό τετράδραχμο του Φιλίππου Β' της Μακεδονίας. 
Το συγκεκριμένο νόμισμα απεικονίζει την οπίσθια όψη ενός τετράδραχμου που κόπηκε για να εορταστεί η νίκη του Φιλίππου Β' στους ιππικούς αγώνες της Ολυμπίας το 356 π.Χ...🌿😊

#Athens never goes into ‘full hibernation mode’, so there’s plenty to do September-March for winter visit

Trump and the ghost of Alcibiades

William J Dominik compares Donald Trump to the Athenian general Alcibiades and shows how both weakened democracy while pursuing power.
