1. Apple:

A serious take on a traditional temple plan. Attempt at triglyphs and metopes; and even has an architrave above the elegant Doric columns. Shame the pediment design appears to have fallen off. 9/10
2. Google:

The center column blocks the entrance. Bulging, unsymmetrical columns in an unctuous teal. Ancient temples were painted, but not like this! Did it get trapped in an ‘80s music video? Is it ill? Is it a temple bouncy house? 2/10

A thread rating every amphora emoji 🏺
1. Apple

Panathenaic amphora (500s BC) with geometric decoration (800s BC).

Lovely rich colors, overall nice shape, but why is the meander so big. Meander is canonical Greek design, but is normally a border element. White meander at the neck is odd. 7/10
2. Google

Another Panathenaic amphora with geometric decoration, a confusing mix of styles. Pattern suggests homage to Tetris, but does have a nice border. Good color and shape, suggests three-dimensionality. 6/10

.@wmarybeard speaks tonight at the Getty Center on Roman emperors in art since the Renaissance—join along as we live tweet.

Beard begins with her favorite painting in the Getty collection—“The Age of Augustus, the Birth of Christ” by Jean-Léon Gérôme gty.art/2kRt5SF
@wmarybeard The painting contrasts Roman imperial pomp and power in the background with a nativity scene (described as "gothic" by some critics) in the foreground, says #MaryBeard.

The emperor here? Augustus, leader of Rome at the time of Jesus's birth.
@wmarybeard Upon Jesus’s birth, Augustus consulted a pagan prophetess, the Sibyl, on whether anyone would be born more powerful than the emperor himself—and whether he should allow himself to be worshipped as a god.

MEA CULPA:

🔹If it’s the victors, and oppressors, who write the history books, how can we ever truly know what stories were lost?
🔹Has it never occurred to you as somewhat odd, that despite historical accounts of advanced civilizations from 2000 BC, and onwards, ...
...that very few of these great cultures are mentioned much in the Bible? Never mind those that came before them❗️
🔹The main trajectory of biblical historical value, appears to be limited to such a small region of the world; namely, Israel, and surrounds. (Including Egypt.)...
That is; I mean, ISis-RA-EL‘s land❗️
(What’s in a name, ja?)
🔹There weren’t many other nations mentioned much; not even many Westerners /Europeans,

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...
