I didn't sleep... So now I'm doing my best to emulate Fry in 'Three Hundred Big Boys'. #Coffee

#FrescoFriday - it's another day for enjoying the garden, so here's a panel of the 'Garden Fresco' from the House of the Golden Bracelet, Pompeii (VI.17.42). The details of the birds are exquisite. #Roman #Garden

#FrescoFriday - Beginning the day with this fabulous panel of the torture of Ixion from the east wall of the exedra of the House of the Vettii, Pompeii (VI.15.1). Ixion on his wheel is marginalised, focussing our attention on the reaction of Juno and Mercury. #Roman #Art

#LatinForTheDay - 11 June

"nequitiam fugio—fugientem forma reducit;
aversor morum crimina—corpus amo.
sic ego nec sine te nec tecum vivere possum,
et videor voti nescius esse mei.
aut formosa fores minus, aut minus inproba, vellem"

Ovid, Amores 3.11b.37-41

#FrescoFriday - still in Pompeii, this time with a panel of Polyphemus and Galatea from the House of the Ancient Hunt (VII.4.48), discovered in 1834. And one perhaps for the attention of @museumbums
