“You may do as you wish.”

“As I wish? I haven’t dared wish. I have prayed, in my weakest moments, and I have mindlessly coveted, but I haven’t dared to wish.”

a Laurent x Damen time slip romance | read now on AO3

On holiday with his brother in Ios, Laurent bathes in a hot spring. Unfortunately, he drowns. Even more unfortunately, when he surfaces somehow, he finds himself thrust back in time. Dropped into the middle of a mythologised ancient war for the Akielon throne, he is determined to get back to the modern day - even after ending up kidnapped (or perhaps rescued) by the rightful King, Damianos.

Ancient Letoon - the first temple to the Goddess Leto and Her children in the city of Xanthos (sometimes: Xanthos-Letoon; Lycian: 𐊀𐊕𐊑𐊏𐊀 Arñna) located in the southwestern part of Anatolia, Turkey. The complex represents extant examples of the Ancient Lycian civilization, one of the most important cultures of the Anatolian Iron Age.

Xanthos was the capital of Ancient Lycia (Lycian: 𐊗𐊕𐊐𐊎𐊆𐊖 Trm̃mis), and the ruins of the site still demonstrate how pre-Greek Lycian traditions blended with Hellenic and Roman influence overtime. Some of the Lycian monuments include: the Lycian Acropolis, heavily remodeled after the Hellenistic and Byzantine eras; great funerary monuments and examples of Xanthos-typical woodwork are featured in the area as well. A later archaeological zone is present in Xanthos, too, with the Hellenistic Acropolis alongside the Roman and Hellenistic agoras and some later-constructed churches.

One of the most spectacular buildings at the site, though, are temples to Leto, Artemis, and Apollo dating back to the 6th century BCE, which means that the site predates Hellenic influence in the region as well as prominence of Leto in Greece, where the cult came in the 4th century BCE. That, together with Leto’s name of uncertain etymology, might suggest that the Goddess has a precursor - an Anatolian Mother-Goddess, possibly the local Eni Mahanahi. The cult of the local Mother-Goddess included a variety of functions, such as observation of funeral rites. Later buildings erected at the site date back to different time periods in the political history of Lycia, which includes a Hadrian era Nymphaeum.

According to UNESCO, the Halicarnassus Mausoleum, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancients, is directly influenced by Xanthos’ Nereid Monument:

'The Corbridge Lion' Roman Sculpture, Corbridge Roman Town Museum, Corbridge, Hadrian's Wall, Northumberland

Real dumb question…have we ever found any Roman emperors corpses or tombs like we have with some of the pharaohs? (Alexander where are youuuuuuuuuu?) like where is Augustus Caesar final resting place?

Yes, we know exactly where the Roman Emperors are entombed, their mausoleums, such as Hadrian's Mausoleum, the Mausoleum of Augustus and so on, they're mainly located in Rome and one was opened for re-entry for the first time in 2000 years.

Augustus or rather, Octavian's Mausoleum was opened to the public.

Alexander the Great was a Greek ruler by the by, he was first entombed in Memphis, then Alexandria, while his Tomb was destroyed around the 4th century, we know his final resting place was his greatest city.

Castel Sant'Angelo, in Rome, Italy. The castle started its life as the Mausoleum of Hadrian. The Romans realized it would make a good castle and defensive walls were built on top. The Popes soon took it over (being conveniently close to the Vatican) and turned it into a proper castle. It's one of my favorite castles, mostly because it's had such an interesting life.

Check out this castle in this post on Rome's museums:

In praise of MARY

A DEADLY PLAGUE ENDED WHEN SALUS POPULI ROMANI IMAGE WAS CARRIED IN PROCESSION IN ROME

During the pontificate of St. Gregory the Great (590-604) a plague viciously attacked the people of Rome, killing entire families. The pontiff fervently prayed to the Blessed Mother. During the Easter festivals he carried her image in solemn procession. Arriving at Hadrian's Mausoleum (now called San Angelo), an angelic choir was heard singing the joyful Resurrection hymn:

Regina coeli, laetare, alleluia;

Quia quem meruisti portare, alleluia;

Resurrexit sicut dixit, alleluia.

Without hesitation, the holy Pontiff added:

Ora pro nobis Deum, alleluia.

[Queen of Heaven, rejoice, alleluia; for he whom you did merit to bear, alleluia; has risen as he said, alleluia; pray for us to God, alleluia.]

After the Pontiff spoke these words there appeared above Hadrian's Mausoleum an angel, believed to be St. Michael, who replaced in his scabbard the sword of vengeance which he had held over the city.

Not the window on my apartment, but looking out to the Vatican from Castel Sant’Angelo.

Commissioned by Hadrian as his Mausoleum, then later used by popes as a fortress and castle.

The Vatican is connected by an elevated, enclosed passage. The Passetto was for quick escapes by popes.
