For #MosaicMonday we have a nude man in black and white, from a #Severan renovation of the #Baths of the #SevenSages in #OstiaAntica, the port of #Rome. But this is not your usual nude man. He was probably the caretaker of the baths, so you knew who to complain to. #AncientBluesky 🏺
MOSAIC OF JULIUS CARDIUS, C. 200 CE. BATHS OF THE SEVEN SAGES, OSTIA ANTICA This cheerful nude man is Iulius Cardius, caretaker of the Baths of the Seven Sages. The inscription above his head says "Here we see Julius Cardius". The mosaic is in an antechamber next to the apodyterium or change-room, presumably where Cardius presided. Was he naked on the job? Probably inside the baths, but less probably here at the entrance. He was likely not a slave, as he had a first and last name. Ostia has another mosaic portrait of a caretaker of baths, Epictetus Buticosus, in the baths that bear his name. Buticosus is also shown nude: this is not heroic nudity, so Cardius has a normal-sized phallus, and muscle gone to flab. He holds a short, dagger-like object in his left hand which I can't identify. He is a rather wonderful ordinary man, not a god, an emperor, or a landowner, but a man with a job.

It’s so funny that in that era theyre still officially called the Six Sages in spite of that

Then we get to albw and they quickly went Sevensages

Christina the Mage, a character from an old Fire Emblem fan project I was a part of back in the day called Seven Sages. You can see old art by both me and @kidomax.bsky.social in the linkas well as some basic info to be expanded later!
