For #FrescoFriday, the astonishing "Città Dipinta" unveiled this week at the #Oppian Hill. Painted on the exterior of a pre-Trajanic basilican hall, it might have been an ideological billboard promoting good government, before being buried as a foundation wall for Trajan's Baths. #AncientBluesky 🏺

#FrescoFriday in the #DomusAurea of #Nero takes us into the immense #cryptoporticus, which is divided by this bridge. It carried water down into the central bay of the great Octagonal Hall, and its #fresco decoration is a delicate series of #frames and nautical motifs. #AncientBluesky 🏺

metres high and stretches along 16m of a wall beneath the Oppian Hill, near the Colosseum. “We think it’s the biggest wall mosaic ever found in the Roman world, and we are still digging to find where it stops,” Francesco Pacetti, an archaeologist who worked on the excavation, said.

#FrescoFriday this week dives into one of the most famous #ceilings of #Nero's #DomusAurea: the #GoldenVault, buried under the #Oppian Hill in #Rome. It's an excellent case study in #classicalreception over five centuries. So let's dig in! #AncientBluesky 🏺

"The “Painted City” fresco and “Great Mosaic” were discovered in an underground gallery during excavations in the 1990s of the Baths of Trajan on the Oppian Hill near the Colosseum."

Kiva ylläri postilaatikossa! @jurinummelin.bsky.social uusi animaation historiaopus (johon oli ilo tehdä kantta) tuli. Animaation ystävänä oli kiva nähdä asiantuntevaa kommenttia mm. Bakshista, Plymptonista ja Borowczykistä! Johdattelee siis varsin pitkälle. Suosittelen! 🔥 #leffataivas #animaatio

We are starting the week on the Oppian for #MosaicMonday. These late C1 CE wall #mosaics from beneath the #BathsofTrajan show Roman maritime villas. But they look like ghosts, because Trajan's engineers despoiled the glass tesseræ of the water. #AncientBluesky 🏺

Taas olen unohtanut koko Blueskyn, mutta tässäpä uutta kirjaa: Oppian julkaisi kaksinkertaisesti paisuneen täydennetyn laitoksen kymmenisen vuotta sitten tulleesta Animaatioelokuvan lyhyestä historiasta. Kansi: J.T. Lindroos.

Played a bit last night and in my lunch break today with making mosaics in Affinity Designer.
Not the most 'Roman' thing yet, but a nice little sketch to start.

Tullut ennakkomyyntiin, eli lienee kansikin julkaisuvapaa. Uutta klassikkodekkaria tulossa Oppian kustantamolta ens vuonna. Oli kiva väsätä näihin käsintehtyjä kansia. (Josephine Tey: A Shilling for Candles, 1936). #coverdesign #kirjataivas #BookSky

A spectacular mosaic hidden beneath Rome for almost 2,000 years will open to visitors following a major archeological excavation. Discovered under Oppian Hill, close to the Colosseum, the artwork covers a subterranean wall
Dating to the first century A.D.
Archeologists Make Mind-Blowing Discovery That Was Buried for 2,000 Years
It could be the biggest find of its kind ever.

I'm on the Rising Tide discord and have started logging the entire process of creating my next #ttrpg if that's of interest - from concept, theory, rules, design, layout, art, playtest, to publishing.

Hopefully it helps others do the same.

Hienoa päästä tekemään kansia kiinnostaviin kirjoihin. Tässäkin sisällysluetteloa selatessa iski silmään kunnon osio kokeellisen elokuvan kulta-ajasta, Maya Derenin ja Jonas Mekaksen kautta Daliin ja Bunueliin. Skaalaa riittää, avant-gardesta Charles Bronsoniin. 🔥 #kirjataivas #booksky

Sometimes in #TTRPG design we gloss over all the ugly bits.
This is my big ugly mess. I celebrate it.
All designs start out bad. Keep going.

Oppian Wives has gone through its first post-playtest do-over and is now undergoing the second round of kicking and shoving before the next playtest.

My new devlog for Oppian Wives #ttrpg is up. Hopefully this explains some of the design intent.

The game needs to go into playtest soon, so I'll write up and share the 0.1 rules draft in the next week or so! yay!

To understand what the stolen glass ocean of the Oppian Hill #mosaic originally looked like, we must turn to contemporary #fresco work. This fragmentary landscape from the #HortiLamiani in #Rome supplies the missing coastal atmosphere.
