☀️ Good weather = visiting roman sites. Yesterday I've been to an absolutely fabulous place. I came to visit a roman grave in Luxembourg' forests but also found there a stunning Celtic cult place.🗿 See more pics and info in comments. First, the grave, also impressive 👉

☀️ For #FrescoFriday, this is the central scene from the Aldobrandini Wedding fresco, now in the Vatican Museum. It depicts an anxious young bride - she is being comforted and supported by Venus, waiting to meet the bridegroom.

☀️ #OnThisDay in 356 BC, a Triumph over the Etruscans was celebrated by C. Marcius Rutilus - the first plebeian dictator of Rome, a great commander and four times Consul. The port of Ostia was likely founded during this war ⚔ with Etruscans.

☀️ For #ReliefWednesday, a medallion-like oscilla - they were used to decorate Roman private houses, villas and gardens. One can see a maenad dancing in ecstasy: she holds a thyrsos staff ☘ in her right hand and a snake 🐉 in her left. Now in Vienna.

#OnThisDay in 11 BC the Theater of Marcellus was dedicated by Augustus who named it after his nephew Marcus Claudius Marcellus, who had died in 23 BC. The construction of the Theater was actually begun by Caesar; it was the second stone theater in Rome.
