George of Pisidia is proof that what's more important than actually doing well is having a good PR guy.

George of Pisidia making one hell of a faux pas at the end of his poem is actually a very funny reason he fell from grace.

"I'll say that the emperor has triumphed over passions as well as the enemies! Surely this can't be misinterpreted, it's not like he's controversially marrying his niece!"

In the ancient province of Pisidia, where wind-swept ruins, monumental aqueducts, and stone-paved streets bear silent witness to millennia of shifting empires, ancient cults, and pivotal moments in early Christian history.

Sagalassos in southwestern Turkey was in Roman Imperial times the "first city of Pisidia", but it was already a major town in the Hellenistic period. It was abandoned after Arab raids threatened the town around 640 and after an earthquake destroyed it around 650. #RomanSiteSaturday

Statue base honouring as "mistress of the world" empress Eudoxia (d. 404). Her name replaced that of an earlier empress, perhaps Constantia (d. 383). Previously the base was used for a Tyche. Some recyling!

#ReliefWednesday - One of the frieze reliefs with gladiatorial scenes from the necropolis of Kibyra, Pisidia. It is carved in local limestone or marble and dates to the late 2nd or early 3rd century AD.

Burdur Archaeological Museum, Türkiye.
Two pairs of gladiators are engaged in close combat. The fighters on the left are bareheaded, grappling with helmeted opponents. The chair or platform beneath the seated figure is unusual, possibly a wooden structure or barrier representing the referee’s stand. Below this group lies a fallen gladiator. To his right stands a victorious gladiator raising one arm in triumph.

#AncientSiteSunday - Kibyra, an ancient city located on a mountainous site in southwestern Turkey. It was important in the ancient world due to its strategic location at the intersection of the cultural regions of Lycia, Caria, Pisidia & Phrygia, and at the crossroads of important commercial routes.
The stadium. Dated to the late 2nd to early 3rd century AD, the stadium was strategically located on the slopes of the main hill, integrated into the urban fabric of Kibyra. The colonnaded street of the Upper Agora with stoas and shops on both sides. The tholos-nymphaeum on the third terrace of the Upper Agora, unearthed during the 2016 excavations. The circular, temple-like fountain structure was dedicated to the nymphs and associated with the city’s water supply system. It was decorated with columns, embossed friezes, and sculptures. The Odeon was constructed in the 1st century AD and embellished in the 3rd century AD.
