This is the magnificent ceiling of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge. I love Atlantids generally, but I've never see any that look quite as pleased with themselves as these guys.

Oh yeah, he knows he's got it.

Statue of a Military Deity from Syria dated around 3rd Century CE on display at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England

This deity is thought to be a combination of a local Syrian warrior god Hadad and the Greek gods Zeus and Hermes. The god wears a Roman styled cuirass, a ram-headed torque with a large gem setting and a cloak pinned with a brooch and leaf pendants. He carries a double headed axe in their lost hand and a snake at his left hip.

The Roman Empire and Syria had some important connections from the 2nd century as the Roman senate had several notable Syrians including Tiberius Claudius Pompeianus and Avidius Cassius. The Are became crucial during the Crisis of the Third Century where it became part of the breakaway Palmyrene Empire under the House fo Odaenathus.
