Hi everyone,
We aren’t receiving funds quickly enough for our current spending. Remember: if we do not raise enough, we will have to potentially cut thousands of people off from the Internet, during Ramadan. Let’s not let this happen.

In honor of #InternationalWomensDay, our #ImageOfTheMonth is a marble relief commemorating two female gladiators —Amazon and Achillia.
Found in Halicarnassus, this relief was acquired through donation by the British Museum (1847,0424.19) in 1846, but prior provenience is murky.

Our #imageoftheweek today is this beautiful sculpture head from Gandhara (3rd-4th c. CE), representing either Hercules or the bodhisattva Vajrapani. Iconography of Vajrapani in Gandhara was heavily influenced by Greek imagery of Hercules, leading him to be depicted as a muscular man with a club.
