Toulouse, then known as Tolose, was an important Gallic city. It became part of the Roman Empire under the name of Tolosa. It was the capital of the province of Gallia Narbonensis, situated between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. From the 4th century onward, Toulouse was the seat of the Archdiocese of Toulouse.
In 413, Toulouse became part of the Visigothic Kingdom. In 507, following the Visigoths' defeat by the Franks, the Visigothic kingdom of Toulouse came to an end. In 721, the city was unsuccessfully besieged by Arabs for several months. Upto 843, Toulouse was the seat of the Kingdom of Aquitaine, after which the independent County of Toulouse was established, a center of Languedoc culture.
In 1208 Pope Innocent III called for a crusade against the Albigensians, during which the city was plundered. In 1228, after a grueling and destructive war of almost 20 years, Raymond VII of Toulouse gave up resistance and signed the Treaty of Paris.
During the Renaissance, Toulouse was one of the wealthiest cities in France. Woad a plant that at the time provided the only stable blue dye, thrived well in the near Lauragais region. The city's dominant market position gradually ended after 1550, when the Portuguese began importing the more affordable indigo from their colonies.

The site originally was a necropolis, and in later constructions was a hospital for the poor and pilgrims, prison, student residence, stables, barracks and presbytery, eventually becoming a museum in 1891. It is housed in the former Saint-Raymond university college dating from the sixteenth century that borders Basilica of Saint-Sernin.
The museum, founded in 1892, by now is the archeological museum of the region

Part of our Joshua H. Hargrave Collection. Thought that this could be "out foreign" somewhere, and indeed it is. Thanks to Leonard Bentley, we now know this is "the equestrian statue of Emperor Joseph II in the Josephplatz, Vienna."
Another "unidentified location" bites the dust!
Date: Circa 1890-1895

'Meditations' Book 5:16
"The Column of Marcus Aurelius is a Roman victory column in Piazza Colonna, Rome, Italy. It is a Doric column featuring a spiral relief: it was built in honour of Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius and modeled on Trajan's Column."
Avenches, Switzerland.
About 180 AD
Through his portraits, the emperor is constantly in attendance over his vast empire. The hair is combed back from the forehead, representing a typical Celtic hairstyle and reveals the Gallo-Roman origin of the artist. Hammered from a single sheet of gold, the bust is a masterpiece of craftsmanship.

The transition from the ancient, original walls and the later Renaissance extension is clearly visible.
This building began as the mausoleum of emperor Hadrian. He began work here already in 125 A.D., and it was finished by his successor in 139, a year after the death of Hadrian. It was not just for Hadrian himself, but also his family, the buried here included his wife Sabina, Antoninus Pius and his wife Faustina Maior, Lucius Aelius Caesar, Commodus, Marcus Aurelius, Septimius Severus and his wife Julia Domna, Geta and Caracalla. Caracalla's burial in 217 A.D. is the last recorded one in the mausoleum.
In 401 it was turned into a fortress and got built into the Aurelian wall. When Alaric and the Visigoths sacked Rome in 410 A.D. the place was looted and the urns taken away and the ashes scattered. And in 590 an angel is supposed to have appeared on the roof - where the bronze statue now can be found - given the place its current name.
The popes rebuilt the mausoleum/fortress several times, continuing to use it as a fortress, connected to St Peter through a covered fortified corridor and a lot of structural revisions were made in the 16th century making it a Roman/Renaissance crossover.

Toward the north end of the Campus Martius, along the via Lata, there stood a tremendous column dedicated to Marcus Aurelius. The column was erected in 180 CE, shortly after the death of its namesake emperor, and still stands today along the via del Corso. Like the more famous Column of Trajan just up the street, the Column of Marcus Aurelius was carved with spiraling reliefs which depict the emperor's second century campaigns against the Germans and Sarmatians. The column was once the vividly colorful standout feature of a group of commemorative structures which once occupied the immediate area.
The sepulcra and temples depicted here represent the final subsection of my Phase III efforts. In the past four months, we have examined hundreds of structures throughout the Campus Martius region. These all-new additions to the ongoing SPQR diorama have been fastidiously documented over the course of these fourteen Design Insights posts; and it's my pleasure to bring you the final insights into Phase III design + research efforts.

Made by Antonio Giorgetti, the inscription beneath reads Potaverunt me aceto.
This was originally called Pons Aelius (Aelian Bridge) built in 134 A.D. by emperor Hadrian to connect the city and his mausoleum, supposedly by the architect Demetrian. It was later also referred to as pons Sancti Petri (the bridge of St Peter) because pilgrims used it to get to the St Peter's basilica. And in the early 7th century it was given the official name of Sant'Angelo, to match the name-change of the mausoleum to Castel Sant'Angelo.
In the 15th century the bridge was used to display the bodies of executed criminals.
The angels now adorning the bridge were commissioned in 1669 by pope Clement IX and made by students of Bernini under his directions.

Not all art is a pretty picture.
Art is created with various pigments, oxides, ephemera, found objects
on various surfaces
with brushes, palette knives, pencils, pens, fingers, glue, wood blocks . . .
cameras . . . computers . . . clay . . . you name it!
This *visual journaling* piece combines 2 different shots
from a printmaker's shelf to a grafitti artist's wall . . .
Calligraphically, it appeals to me!
Metaphorically, it has helped me process some writing
which has been on the wall, but not honestly addressed.
“I feel that art can have a message, can provoke and still be beautiful.
I use texture and iridescent pigments,
which remind me of the sparkle of broken glass
and the rainbow in oil and gas spills.”

I was originally enrolled into the GETTY IMAGES collection as a contributor on April 9th 2012, and when links with FLICKR were terminated in March 2014, I was retained and fortunate enough to be signed up via a second contract, both of which have proved to be successful with sales of my photographs all over the world now handled exclusively by them.
On November 12th 2015 GETTY IMAGES unveiled plans for a new stills upload platform called ESP (Enterprise Submission Platform), to replace the existing 'Moment portal', and on November 13th I was invited to Beta test the new system prior to it being officially rolled out in December. (ESP went live on Tuesday December 15th 2015 and has smoothed out the upload process considerably).
With visits now in excess of 18.517 Million to my FLICKR site, used primarily these days as a fun platform to reach friends and family as I have now sold my professional gear and now take a more leisurely approach to my photographic exploits, I would like to say a huge and heartfelt 'THANK YOU' to FLICKR, GETTY IMAGES and everyone who drops by.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Forty six metres at 09:55am on Friday April 14th 2017, of one of the two giant statues of Kastor and Polydeuces(Castor and Pollux) located in the Campidoglio (Collis Capitolinus or The Capitaline Hill), between the Roman Forum and Campus Martius, Rome, Italy.
Legend says that Castor and Pollux were twin brothers or Dioscuri (dioskouroi), who's mother was Leda. Castor's father was Tyndareus, King of Sparta while Pollux was the divine son of Zeus. In Latin the brothers are known as Gemini or Castores, and when Castor was killed, Pollux asked Zeus to let hgim share his own immortality, thus they were transformed into the Constellation Gemini. They were seen as patrons of sailors, apopearing to them as St Elmo's fire (St Erasmus of Formia), and also associated with horsemanship.
The two statues were originally part of Michelangelo's vision of the Piazza del Campidoglio, but were never realised. Giacomo Della Porta built the balustrade in the square in 1578, and fragments of the statues were located in the ghetto, along with previously found pieces which Pope Gregory XIII ordered be gathered and restored. The head of the statue in this photograph was never found and thus a new one had to be made, and work was completed in 1582.

This was the original statue of the archangel Michael made for the Castel Sant'Angelo, celebrating the going away of the plague in 590. He was made by the sculptor Raffaello da Montelupo in 1536 in marble with metal wings. He originally had a sword in his hand. He was replaced by an angel made by Peter Anton von Verschaffelt in 1753 - the one that still is on top of the building.
This building began as the mausoleum of emperor Hadrian. He began work here already in 125 A.D., and it was finished by his successor in 139, a year after the death of Hadrian. It was not just for Hadrian himself, but also his family, the buried here included his wife Sabina, Antoninus Pius and his wife Faustina Maior, Lucius Aelius Caesar, Commodus, Marcus Aurelius, Septimius Severus and his wife Julia Domna, Geta and Caracalla.

W. Somerset Maugham - The Narrow Corner
Avon Books 41, 1944
Cover Artist: A. Gonzales
Remember that man’s life lies all within this present, as ’t were but a hair’s-breadth of time; as for the rest, the past is gone, the future yet unseen. Short, therefore, is man’s life, and narrow is the corner of the earth wherein he dwells.
Marcus Aurelius - Meditations. iii. 10.
Because the original dedicatory inscription has been destroyed, it is not known whether it was built during the emperor’s reign (on the occasion of the triumph over the Marcomanni, Quadi and Sarmatians in the year 176) or after his death in 180; however, an inscription found in the vicinity attests that the column was completed by 193.
The spiral picture relief tells the story of Marcus Aurelius’ Danubian or Marcomannic wars, waged by him from 166 to his death. The story begins with the army crossing the river Danube, probably at Carnuntum. A Victory separates the accounts of two expeditions. The exact chronology of the events is disputed; however, the latest theory states that the expeditions against the Marcomanni and Quadi in the years 172 and 173 are in the lower half and the successes of the emperor over the Sarmatians in the years 174 and 175 in the upper half.
One particular episode portrayed is historically attested in Roman propaganda – the so-called "rain miracle in the territory of the Quadi", in which a god, answering a prayer from the emperor, rescues Roman troops by a terrible storm, a miracle later claimed by the Christians for the Christian God.

Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius, c. 173–76 C.E. gilded bronze (Capitoline Museums, Rome). The original location of the sculpture is unknown. Beginning in the 8th century, it was located near the Lateran Palace, until it was placed in the center of the Piazza del Campidoglio in 1538 by Michelangelo. The original statue is now indoors for purposes of conservation.
Marble
AD 165-170
Found in Ostia (near Rome) in 1797
Co-Emperor Lucius Verus was adopted as heir by the Emperor Antonius Pius and served with Marcus Aurelius, whose daughter he married. This magnificent example of Imperial portraiture depicts the Emperor as an all-powerful dignified ruler. Note the extensive use of the drill to create his hair and beard.
This white marble portrait head of a woman has detachable black marble hair. These types of portraits were written about in antiquity - it made changing out hairstyles to reflect the current styles easier than re-carving an entire bust or statue.
The head is possibly Annia Aurelia Galeria Lucilla (148 or 150 – 182 CE), daughter of Marcus Aurelius, sister of Commodus, and wife of the co-emperor Lucius Verus (who was also the adoptive brother of her father, with whom he shared rule over the Roman empire). When she was involved in a bungled plot to assassinate her unstable brother, who had ascended to the throne after their father's death, she and her daughter were exiled to the island of Capri. Within the year, Commodus sent a centurion to the island to execute them both. In 1964, Sophia Loren portrayed Lucilla in the movie 'The Fall of the Roman Empire'; in the 2000 movie 'Gladiator', Lucilla is portrayed by Connie Nielson.
The bust (torso) is modern, probably 18th century. It's composed of two differently colored types of striated alabaster, where dozens of pieces have been attached and carved into the folds of her palla (cloak) and tunic. The alabaster might be spolia from an ancient tomb or civic building (not sure a good trade in exotic alabaster had resumed by the 18th c.).
This portrait bust was gifted by Pope Benedict XIV to the newly public Musei Capitolini (Capitoline Museums) in 1750, as you can see written on its socle (base).
Roman, ca. 150-160 CE (the Capitoline also uses a 160-180 CE date). No findspot known, but certainly around Rome.

This is the National Archeological Museum of Naples.
It was our first stop of the day in Naples.
The Naples National Archaeological Museum (Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli) is a museum in Naples, southern Italy, at the northwest corner of the original Greek wall of the city of Neapolis. The museum contains a large collection of Roman artifacts from Pompeii, Stabiae and Herculaneum. The collection includes works of the highest quality produced in Greek, Roman and Renaissance times. It is the most important Italian archaeological museum.
Charles III of Spain founded the museum in the 1750s. The building he used for it had been erected as a cavalry barracks and during its time as the seat of the University of Naples (from 1616 to 1777) was extended, in the late 18th century.

Marcus Aurelius as a youth set in an alabaster bust
AD 147-151
Looking a little sheepishly at my photoshop nightmare. Over twenty of the books I read this year were from the library so weren't available for my year end picture. The result was a good hunk of my book stack being stand-ins which I pasted pics of spines over. I gave up trying to do a convincing job. Roughly speaking it's probably this high. I have no idea why this is a fun thing for me to do...
Now the actual books.
Favourite Fiction:
A tie between 2666 and Berlin Alexanderplatz (this excludes the Proust project, cause In Search of Lost Time is on a level all its own). Also mentions for Never Let Me Go, South of the Border, West of the Sun, and The Kindly Ones.
Favourite Non-Fiction (which there is precious little of):
The Selfish Gene - cause that Mr. Dawkins can write entertainingly about a subject, and clearly.
Book I was glad to finally give up on:
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. I'm allergic to this guy. I accept this and have gratefully moved on.
Most Disappointing Book:
Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel. I really loved her last novel Beyond Black, but WH felt like a step back, more of a historical argument than a fully realized novel. Not a horrible book, but I was expecting more.
Author I'm most happy to have discovered:
Paul Di Filippo, who was chatting on the starship sofa, sofanauts.com podcast. I picked up one of his books, then another, and then another. That's a good sign in an author, and, man, he is odd in a very satisfy, 18th century kind of way, but in sf.
Though there is only one Proust here I'm over half way through Sodom and Gomorrah but I'll save that for next year's stack.
