Antiquity/12,000 BCE is likely going to be the most densely packed era represented in this piece. Tuned some of the details and got a few more characters illustrated. Who/what do you think is left to add to this panel? 😉

I felt a bit soppy at the weekend, and aside from one-and-a-half Lupercalia cards I illustrated three Valentines, including this Eros playing a Flute inspired by a C5th BCE Athenian red-figure lekythos ❤️

#AncientAuthoroftheWeek 📚 - Propertius.
(1/4) Today we're considering one of the best well known Latin elegists, Propertius!
Propertius lived between c. 50-15BCE and was potentially a friend of the poets Vergil and Gallus. With them, he shared the poetic patron Maecenas.
14 million subscribers. That’s about the number of humans alive in the year 7001 HE (3000 BCE). So if YouTube had existed 5000 years ago, every single living human would have been subscribed.
Thank you so, so much for your support. This has been a really fun journey so far.
This #FrescoFriday we present this incredible work from the Tomb of the Dancers!
Found in a Peucetian tomb in Ruvo di Puglia, Italy, it dates to the 5th - 4th century BCE. Discovered in 1833, the tomb held the remains of a distinguished warrior. #Classics

"Mistaking a rope for a snake" is a metaphor dating back to possibly 1st millenia BCE in the Advaita Vedānta school of Hindu Philosophy that says all reality is Brahman. In that case the fear / reaction one feels is real, so that illusionary snake is there when you believe it
Isis was first mentioned in the Old Kingdom of Egypt (c. 2686–2181 BCE). As one of the main characters of the Osiris #myth, she resurrects her slain husband, & is considered a divine mother figure. Her maternal aid was invoked in healing spells for all people. #FairyTaleTuesday

Wah was an Egyptian man who died c. 1981–1975BCE. This figure may have been for his spirit. It was wrapped in a tiny linen outfit with normal skirt underneath.

@SJDJ Well, my protagonist is an "astronomer" of sorts (Neolithic, 5500BCE). She doesn't know what stars are, but she charts them on a wood block. lol
So, I have to keep my stuff accurate. For example, tracking the current polestar in 5489 BCE (it's not polaris lol)

@paudraws I have so many, but this lady here is the one I've put the most work into with developing a story. I'm slowly writing a book about her!
Based around 30 BCE, from Egypt. Raised in unfortunate circumstances, she's a little spitfire that fights for her freedom. Small, but mighty!
