Costume suggestions for #FrescoFriday #Halloween from a #fresco from the #domus of the #Farnesina, 30-20 BCE: this odd pair of women in long chitons, one in front with a shield on her head topped with olive branches, and another taller woman behind, holding a menacing little saw. #AncientBluesky 🏺
SCENE FROM A CORRIDOR IN THE DOMUS OF THE FARNESINA, 30-20 BCE. PALAZZO MASSIMO ALLE TERME A baffling scene from a myth or a ritual. Against a blue-green background, two women are walking toward the right. Both are wearing long plain chitons with red lines along the sides going from shoulder to hem. The shorter woman in the front seems to be wearing a shield on her head, convex side out, which is covered with leafy branches of laurel or olive. She holds another branch in her left hand and steadies the shield with her right. She looks a bit downtrodden. Behind her, at left, is a taller woman (?) whose face is missing, dressed identically. In both hands she holds a very strange tool in black, a straight diagonal line which expands upward like 3 sides of a rectangle before returning to its original line. A dotted line closes off the bottom of this shape, and I've interpreted this as a sort of jigsaw, possibly for cutting the branches the woman in front is carrying. I have no idea what is going on here. The internet offers no clues. But I *can* say with confidence that if you wear these outfits for Halloween, absolutely no one will guess who you are.

Raphael’s Villa Farnesina, peaches nestled alongside phallic gourds, their ripeness hinting at carnal indulgence. The peach’s cleft also evoked the female form, a metaphor later echoed in the emoji’s modern use for buttocks."

This small fresco from Villa Farnesina, now in Palazzo Massimo alle Terme, was interpreted to show 2 cynic philosophers: Crates of Thebes and his wife Hipparchia.

"Il governo disponibile a trattative con la flottilla"

Visto come si fa a fare pressione sui buoni? Si fa terrorizzare i loro familiari dalla Farnesina, li si accusa di terrorismo (meloni) li si infantilizza (mattarella), si obbliga la portavoce a rientrare e poi SI FA DIVENTARE #SUMUD il nemico

#FrescoFriday returns us to the #Augustan #domus of the #Farnesina, whose surviving #fresco work is in #PalazzoMassimo alle #Terme in #Rome. Here we meet two figures of #Greek #philosophy famous in antiquity, the consciously shameless #Cynic couple #Crates and #Hipparchia. #AncientBluesky 🏺
FRESCO FRAGMENT FROM THE DOMUS OF THE VILLA FARNESINA, 30-20 BCE. PALAZZO MASSIMO ALLE TERME This extremely simplified scene comes from a frescoed corridor in the domus or villa (it has aspects of both) that likely belonged to Augustus' daughter Julia and her husband Agrippa. When it was discovered, only to be immediately demolished, some of its fresco work was preserved. This scene, against a plain background that is now mauve, shows a man, at left, and a woman at right. This scene has been interpreted as depicting two Cynic philosophers, Crates of Thebes, who famously gave away all his wealth, and his wife Hipparchia, shown here bringing her worldly goods to Crates, who is carrying only a small satchel. They shocked C4 BCE Athenian society by sleeping in the stoas and public places of the city, and even having sex in public. Crates, the male figure, is dressed in a ragged tunic, and Hipparchia is an elegant figure in a peplos. The scenes in this corridor probably all showed Greek philosophers.

Il titolare della Farnesina è stato portato in una caserma, mentre altri hanno assistito al Trasporto dalle finestre del Comune. Se non gli fosse stato consigliato di disertare l'appuntamento per evitare contestazioni e tensioni, anche l'ambasciatore israeliano in Italia sarebbe stato

Ma la Farnesina che dice? Considera ancora gli USA un paese sicuro per i turisti? Quando rischi di essere arrestato per strada da tipi armati fino ai denti se ti sentono parlare in una lingua molto simile allo spagnolo?
