Octavia: How was the honeymoon? Anthony: Well, Octavian got drunk and tried to destroy our marriage certificate. *cut to Octavian laughing maniacally* Octavian: Good luck trying to return me without the receipt! ​

Did Mark Anthony really make jokes about Octavian's sexuality?
I mean he did supposedly sold his ass to a guy for 300k sesteritii, but I didn't know Mark Anthony joked about it! Like... Out of all the people you're the last one to talk, Mark.
Yep. Mostly in a demeaning way. Among other things, he accused Octavian of trading sexual favors to Julius Caesar in exchange for his inheritance (Suetonius, 68).
Tumblr media
He and Octavian also sent each other nasty letters. Antony's Latin here is X-rated, so sprinkle f-words and d-words for a more accurate translation:
Tumblr media
Now, Suetonius isn't the most reliable source, and Antony definitely isn't, so I wouldn't take any of that seriously. We do know Octavian had several affairs with women. But if he had been with a man too, he would have been extremely guarded about it for the sake of his public image.

A juxtaposition of queens 
(So, since I've almost reached the one hundred per post limit on my Hang your stoking to the hag post — which is a list with all of my metas divided into categories and most of my posts about my fics and links to the said stories on ao3 — I've decided to actually create linked posts, like this one, one for each category with the metas pertaining it).
Sansa and Daenerys foils on ruling style and on their arc as rulers/queens humility, tyranny and monarchy.
Cersei, Sansa, Margaery, Daenerys + Brienne the theory of the younger more beautiful queen.
Cersei, Sansa and Daenerys three women using three different ways of using their strengths, to build bridges.
Sansa and Daenerys, two women associated with bat, a short ask-induced analysis, the symbolism of the bat.
Cersei and Daenerys, the fiery eyes of the Titan of Braavos in his bright green field and the fiery eyes of the Lord of Light metaphors of Drogon or there is something more?, probably will expand on this, an ask-induced association about the two queen associated with fire in asoiaf wildfire vs dragonflame .
Cersei and Daenerys (+ Sansa) foils a short, ask-induced analysis of the fact that both in regards to Cersei and Daenerys love is considered like poison and Sansa wilful choice to be the exact opposite; love is poison, will it kill them all the same?
Cersei and Daenerys (Rhaegar + guest star Jaime L.) and ask induced analysis of the parallel between Cersei and Daenerys and the fact that both are connected to Rhaegar in the same way (possibly: featuring also the theory about the Lannister twins being actually Aerys' kids and some clues about that); Cersei and Daenerys + Rhaegar ~ parallels.
Arya and Daenerys, one embraces the violence the other embraces her duty a short anon ask-induced analysis of two passages (one from AGOT, Dany X and the other from ACOK, Arya IV); the Red wings of fate
Cersei and Daenerys, an askinduced meta about how each embodies a version of the same line of deities (Venus vs Inanna/Astarte/Ishtar) with a side dish of JonSa, Venus decoded.
Daenerys and Sansa — Cleopatra and Octavian/ Jon as Mark Anthony or Livia? — a meta about the parallels between Cleopatra and Daenerys and how that may foreshadow her ending, plus a little side-dish of political Jon and Sansa because they just make sense — The Last dragon Queen and the last Ptolemaic Queen of Egypt

THE SILVER TREASURE OF MOREGINE
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Since the 18th century, infrastructure projects around the Bay of Naples and Mt Vesuvius have accidentally uncovered not only Pompeii, Herculaneum, and numerous stately seaside villas, but hoardes of fine silver plate as well. During the 1959 construction of the Salerno-Napoli autostrada, workers ran into an architectural complex in Moregine, a mere 600 meters from the walls of Pompeii. The excavation of “villa” (which was more likely a guest house or hotel) yielded a group of Fourth Style triclinium frescoes by the same workshop that decorated the House of the Vettii. The site was reburied, but reopened again for subsequent roadwork, most recently in 2000.
At that time, workers casually came across a large petrified basket in a latrine, apparently left there by someone fleeing the eruption of AD 79. X-ray scans of the wicker basket revealed metal items trapped in the lava. Five years were required to separate what proved to be 20 pieces of fine chased silverware from the hardened volcanic debris that had engulfed them—but also perfectly preserved them. Only three other silver hoardes from the early empire are known to exist.
This description of the treasure was published by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2010:
The silver objects—the Moregine Treasure—represent one of the few Roman silver dining sets to survive from the first century A.D. They include vessels for holding, serving, and receiving food as well as receptacles for mixing, pouring, and drinking liquids. ... The two canthari (drinking cups) are of particular interest and were likely prized antiques at the time they were buried, having been made over a century earlier at the very end of the Hellenistic era, likely in Alexandria, Egypt. They seem to commemorate what is sometimes known as the Treaty of Brundisium between Mark Anthony and Octavian in 40 B.C., just four years after the assassination of Caesar. This historic treaty gave Mark Anthony command of the eastern Roman provinces, while Octavian was given control over Italy and the West.
The Moregine service closely resembles a fresco in the tomb of Victorius Priscus in Pompeii depicting argentum potorium. The painting, which dated around AD 75, proves that silverware such as the Moregine service, was also used in the celebratory meals honoring the deceased that took place in their tombs.
The tesoro di Moregine was lent to the Metropolitan Museum of Art from 2010-2015 as part of a repatriation agreement obliging the museum to return 17 pieces of Hellenistic silver which the Italian government claims were looted. The treasure and the deposed frescoes are now permanently installed in the Palestra Grande exhibition space at Pompeii.
