Well, this was a real treat this afternoon as I found this Periplacis menander #butterfly outside my kitchen window. A new species for @casabentbill.bsky.social (and for me). These have a wide range from Mexico to southern Brazil, but they aren't common.

"Mahadharmaraksita was "a Greek Buddhist head monk" who led 30,000 Buddhist monks from "the Greek city of Alasandra" (Alexandria of the Caucasus), to Sri Lanka for the dedication of the Great Stupa in Anuradhapura during the rule (165–135 BCE) of King Menander I."

This beautiful drinking cup is part of the famous ‘silver treasure’ found in a wooden chest in the cellar of the House of Menander during excavations in 1930. It’s thought the silverware was hidden in a chest in the basement of the house during restoration works following the earthquake of AD 62.

Its discouraging to remember sometimes that Menander was completely lost until someone pulled one of his plays from a garbage dump.
one of the crazy things about classics is that you could, at any moment, stumble onto massive accidental finds that would completely change our perception of something. so much of it is missing and enormous finds have often happened!

The silver treasure from the House of Menander, #Pompeii, consists of 118 items found in a chest.
After the AD 62 earthquake, the house was being repaired and the silverware was stored in a ‘safe’ place.
My 📷: a beautiful silver mirror, now in Naples Archaeological Museum.
