For #ReliefWednesday, love conquers all. Literally. This C1 CE #relief from the Sebasteion at Aphrodisias depicts the nocturnal tryst between Aphrodite and Anchises. To the Julio-Claudians, this intimate myth was the absolute foundation of their divine right to rule. #AncientBluesky 🏺

How about another #travel photo for the letter A? This is an “AA”, I guess, because it’s the Temple of Artemis at Aphrodisias, an archeological site in Turkey. #turkiye #archeology #travel

For my first foray into #RomanSiteSaturday, here's one of my favourites: the tetrapylon, or gateway to the Temple of Aphrodite, in Aphrodisias, Turkey. Built ca. 200 CE.
Lots of other gems in Aphrodisias for the weeks to come....

Mamdani: Next question! Yes, Amy.
Journalist: Mr. Mayor, do you think cities maintained their political and social centrality despite their loss of Roman-style monumentality?
Mamdani: Great question. Let me start by mentioning recent excavations in Aphrodisias…

#ReliefWednesday - Marble relief depicting Antinous as Silvanus, harvesting grapes with a dog at his side. Antinous wears a pine wreath and the exomis (Greek tunic) and carries a pruning hook. The maker's name is inscribed on the altar: 'Antonianos of Aphrodisias made this'.

Swoony heartthrob Antinous, as the god Silvanus, by Antonianos of Aphrodisias, AD 130-138. Whatever Hadrian saw in him, he was certainly a good-looking young chap. Terrible swimmer, mind.
