MWW Artwork of the Day (6/15/22) Late Republican Rome (147-30 BCE) Detail: Alexander Mosaic (c. 100 BCE) Floor mosaic from House of the Faun, Pompeii Museo Archeologico Nazionale, Naples

This portrait of Alexander is one of his most famous. Alexander's breastplate depicts Medusa, the famous Gorgon, and his wavy hair is typical of royal portraiture as established in Greek art of the fourth century BCE. He is portrayed sweeping into battle at the left, on his famous horse, Bucephalos, and focusing his gaze on the Persian leader.The complete mosaic illustrates a battle between Alexander the Great and the Persian king Darius, most likely the Battle of Issus in 333 BCE. The mosaic is made of about one and a half million tiny colored tiles called tesserae, arranged in gradual curves called opus vermiculatum, (literally, "worm work," because they seem to replicate the slow motion of a crawling worm).

Beauty is in the Iaia of the beholder

Giovanni Boccaccio, De Mulieribus Claris (Iaia of Cyzicus), 1403, Bibliothèque Nationale de France

Iaia of Cyzicus was a Roman painter born in Greece, alive during the time of Marcus Terentius Varro, 116–27 BC. Most of her paintings are said to have been of women. She was said to have worked faster and painted better than her male competitors, which enabled her to earn more than them.

This is a PSA that Lex Foster canonically uses She/They pronouns (or at least Angela Giarratana headcanons Lex to. However, I think there's this sort of unwritten rule that if the actor headcanons something about the character they play, it is generally accepted as pseudocanon)

Also Lex was high throughout the entirety of act one of Black Friday which is probably why she came around to Frank's bullshit during our doors are open LMAO.
