I felt a little like I was cheating on UA when I got these - BUT Asics does make the best running shoes and I'm ready to get back on the road.

Sorry for lack-o-Nimbus photos. He's got a bit of eye goop. Might be taking him to the vet though he looked better this afternoon. Here he is picking on his favorite Uncle, PC. He's sleeping with us now and insists on picking on still-sleeping P every morning when he gets up. Poor P! He tolerates him. He's such a good older cat.
Fig. 285 - The nimbus. This symbol of a sun or aureole round the head of a divine figure or ruler carried a mythical significance associated with light- and life-giving power. The sun and the light, as vital properties, are transmitted to the person wearing the aureole.
This illustration depicts the godhead Sol, and was found in the Roman settlement Corstopitum (Corbridge on Tyne, England). The place was destroyed in 297 AD, but this panel (metope) was reused in the fourth century.

On the pivotal north side of the Tyne, Corbridge played a vital role in the Roman conquest of northern Britain. The fort dates from AD139, when the Emperor Antoninus Pius once more advanced the Roman frontier into Scotland. On a principal route northwards, it became a busy garrison town.
The remains include a fountain house with an aqueduct, a pair of granaries and walled compounds for the military, containing barracks, temples, houses and a headquarters building with a below-ground strongroom. The extensive museum displays a rich selection of Roman finds.
Corbridge is part of the Hadrian’s Wall World Heritage Site
