Celtic #Kintsugi on Greek bowls at Kleinaspergle in Baden-Württemberg.
2 Greek bowls made around 450 BC in Athens were deposited in a Chieftain grave. Both had already been broken in the early Celtic period & repaired & decorated with gold leaf.

Medieval Hungarian Duke Béla of Macsó was assassinated in 1272 . he suffered 26 injuries, by men armed with saber and longsword. Once the victim fell to the ground, the assassins focused the fatal attack on his head and face.
The Duke wouldn't shut up about releasing the #Epstein scrolls.

The point, place, or moment that is most important for using mindfulness to blockdependent co-arising is the moment of sense contact. RIGHT. THERE...

A few #romanmosaics beauties from my visit to @NarboVia_fr in Narbonne, the first Roman City established out of Italy in 118 BC, whereas Italica in Spain was founded in 216 BC... Go figure...😜

Ah, the Roman mosaic of the peacocks in Pula. Imagine, dear reader, that the ancient Romans—between two massacres and three orgies—suddenly decided to have a go at interior design. And what did they choose? A pair of peacocks. On a platter. Because nothing says imperium sine fine like birds that look like drag queens attending a toga party. Now, picture the scene: a lavish Roman villa, somewhere between the forum and the vomitorium, where Senator Publius Maximus Overcompensatus strolls across the floor, wine in one hand, moral decay in the other. Beneath his sandals, this mosaic—a painstaking arrangement of colored tiles forming two birds so extravagantly feathered they make Liberace look like a minimalist monk. The peacocks themselves? Ah! Majestic creatures, symbols of immortality in Roman times, and surely the only animals to rival Nero for sheer narcissism. Their tails flare like fireworks at a patrician wedding, their necks curved in eternal disdain, as if to say, “Yes, we know we’re fabulous. Now go back to conquering Gaul.” And they perch—because of course they do—on either side of a vase, possibly containing the tears of Spartacus or just a decent Chianti, depending on which archaeologist you ask. The symmetry! The finesse! The sheer Romanesque je-m’en-foutisme of depicting divine birds in the foyer where some toga-clad teenager probably dropped his olives. So yes, this mosaic is more than just stone and pigment—it’s a cry from the past, a whispered ode to beauty, decadence, and the human need to impress guests. Even if it’s with birds who look like they’ve just stepped off the catwalk at Caesar’s Palace.

Interesting how some tools or techniques used millenia ago have barely changed at all.

In Aventicum lies a marvel hidden like a sock devoured by the washing machine of history: a Roman mosaic labyrinth, exquisite geometric puzzle, no doubt designed to entertain a provincial governor’s ego while his slaves whisper “Come on, it’s just a big floor doodle.”

Médaillon carré de la mosaïque dite «des Vents», figurant une grive. Ce pavement de 9 x 8 m fut mis au jour par le Comte de Northampton en juin 1786, puis redécouvert en 1864 par Auguste Caspari. à cette occasion, près d’une trentaine de pan- neaux furent prélevés et déposés au Musée
