This bronze mirror dates to sometime 300-270 B.C. and the name of the gods are written on the border (no, the photo isn't flipped, Etruscans wrote backwards - or at least as we see it, after all it was normal for them). They are (from left to right): Aplu, Menrva, Turan and Laran. The gods are perhaps not all that unfamiliar though - Aplu is the Etruscan Apollo, Menrva would turn into the Roman goddess Minerva, Turan was a goddess identified with the Greek Aphrodite and the Roman Venus and Laran was the god of war, the Etruscan equivalent of Mars. However, in Etruscan art Laran is depicted as a young man, and he was considered the consort of Turan.
I was walking on the Via Appia in Rome
and all of a sudden.... the bells were ringing..........
So I ran, saw the light and the MONKEYS, fell on my knees and started shooting
I advised them to cross the road in the light of the setting sun, but unforftunately they had their own PIG-headed ideas!
Have a nice weekend my flickr's friends!

Following the APLU-COR meeting, my flight was delayed and I ended up with an extra morning in Philadelphia, PA. This was one discovery as I walked my way around the downtown area.

Funerary stele dedicated to Aurelius Aplus by his parents, the mother Apla and the father Aurelius Maximinus.
The stele, because of the depiction of an infant in the niche, has long been studied and interpreted as a funerary monument for a child. The discovery of a second fragment of the inscription made it possible to reconstruct the missing text and confirm that the young Aurelius Aplus actually died after reaching the age of nineteen.
The dating of the monument, proposed on the basis of stylistic considerations (the mother’s expression and the hairstyles of both figures), places it at the end of the 3rd century AD. In particular, the mother’s hairstyle recalls that of Ulpia Severina Augusta, wife of Emperor Aurelian (270–275 AD).
The inscription, CIL V, 1113, integrated with the recently discovered fragment, in its most recent edition, contains the following text:
“D(is) M(anibus) / et perpetuae se[curit]/ati. Aurelio Aplo [f]i[lio]/lo infelicissimo, qui / vixit annis XVIIII, Aurelius Maximi/nus et Apla parentes / uno filio orbati”.
Perhaps already during the 2nd century AD, the formula “perpetuae securitati” is sometimes added to the dedication to the Dis Manibus. Despite the uncertainty of its meaning, it seems to open to the hope of a survival beyond death.
