Relief of Herakles freeing Prometheus from the cliff in the Causus Mountains where he was doomed by Zeus to have his liver eaten every day by an eagle and regrown at night for giving fire to humans. From Aphrodite's temple at Aphrodisias, 3rd century BCE #Prometheus #Herakles #pagansky #witchsky

But to be honest the titular see I most covet is Stauropolis, which is also vacant. The pagan name of the town was Aphrodisias. How's that for a contrast!

#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'.

✨The Two Princes✨

Gaius and Lucius or Britannicus and Nero? The figure on the left holds the orb of the world and a ship’s stern ornament indicative of his place at least as an imperial heir.

#ReliefWednesday

The dark area is called "Alexander's band" after Alexander of Aphrodisias, who described the effect around 200 AD.

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 🏺
