1/20 This relief, featuring a lion and bull, was at the center of the most powerful empire the world had ever seen: the Persian Achaemenid Empire. Today, we explore the different angles and close-ups of this special piece in a 🧵of 📸, history... and drama.

Roman fresco depicting the Trojans entering the wooden horse through the walls of their city. It was discovered in Pompeii and is likely to date from sometime in the first half of the 1st century BC. 📸 by me. National Archaeological Museum of Naples.
14/14 Xenia mosaics conveyed the hospitality and the prosperity of the Roman household. Whoever owned these eight panels two millennia ago made sure the message was unambiguous. End. 📸 by me at The Art Institute of Chicago.
1/17 Dated between 560 and 550 BC, the Monteleone Chariot is one of the best preserved chariots of the ancient world. On display at the MET, this marvel of Etruscan art depicts scenes from the life of Achilles. Today, we explore a special 🧵 of close-up 📸 and History!
7/7 ...decorated with peacocks and deer. 📸 by me. I hope you enjoyed this post. If so, share and follow for more! Cheers.
On the southern corner of Chichen Itza, this small rectangular building has a single room with a single entrance and is notable for its striking façade. Stepped friezes and a broken serpent border the masks of Chaac.
This fantastic Roman mosaic, dating to the 1st century AD and found in Pompeii, depicts a panther alongside Dionysian symbols. Let’s see it in this short 🧵 and talk about the celebration of venationes as part of the Roman public games.
I just learned that UNESCO added six Minoan palace centers in Crete to the World Heritage List. It took too long, but it's a well-deserved acknowledgement!!! I could not recommend visiting Crete more. Here is the Throne Room at Knossos with its two Griffins on the walls.
It may resemble a typical piece of ancient Indian art, but this statuette reveals a world more interconnected than we typically think of. Let’s talk in this peculiar 🧵about ancient trade, religious iconography, and Pliny the Elder.
From AD 251 to 253, the destinies of Rome fell into the hands of this man, Trebonianus Gallus. If you ask me for an image of the Crisis of the Third Century, it's this one, his bronze statue currently on display at the MET. Let's take a look at this special 🧵 of 📸 today!
1/2 Made of alabaster sometime between 2475 and 2300 BC, this ram statue may have supported the throne of the king of Ur, a Sumerian city-state located in modern-day southern Iraq.
In Feb. 1258, the Mongols of Hulagu Khan destroyed Baghdad, just a few centuries before, one of the largest cities in the world under the Abbasid Caliphate at its peak. Four years later, Mosul shared the same fate. This piece of art was made in Mosul around that time. 🧵of📸!
Commemorative Rooster of copper alloy made somewhere in the late 18th century in the city of Edo, capital of the Kingdom of Benin (1180–1897), in what is now southern Nigeria. This piece is part of what we know today as the Benin Bronzes. 🧵 of 📸 below!
A masterpiece of ancient times and a symbol of Roman might. Today, let's see the two "Kneeling barbarians" on display at the Naples National Archaeological Museum (MANN). Let's talk about the Parthians and their relationship with Rome. A special 🧵 of 📸below!
We all know the story of an eagle flying over Alexander before the Battle of Gaugamela. But I think the story Procopius tells us about Gaiseric, Marcian, and an eagle is more, let's say, compelling. At the time of this story, Marcian was an officer/advisor. Gaiseric was the…
