This is one of the earliest depictions of the Colosseum, a bronze sestertius issued by the emperor Titus to commemorate the amphitheater's completion. Only ten are known to exist. You can see the spectators, the statues in the arches, even the quadriga over the entrance. 🏺 #ancientbluesky 1/

Black Doves is silly, preposterous, illogical and more than a bit mad. I really enjoyed it. One to binge around Christmas time and then never think about again (until series 2). Nicely shot, some good performances and actually funny as well as good fun. And really very silly.
