I really like Netflix's "Ripley", not least thanks to its great décor - and I even like this small (intentional?) mistake:
Dickie Greenleaf's studio contains a reproduction of the famous 'Tomb of the Diver' fresco from Paestum. The story is set in 1960/61, but the tomb was discovered in 1968.

As an ardent follower of yours I must point out, that this is a highly misleading graphic, as Germany has proportional representation and NOT a 'first past the post' system. Below yesterday's ZDF poll for the popular (roughly proportional) vote.

Love the fact, that the parental advisory for "The Return" (the Fiennes-Binoche flick on Odyssey books 13-24) notes its featuring "many people being killed by arrows" as well as "discussions of longing for home". Sounds pertinent.

Du kannst Internetkabel kappen und Trollfabriken betreiben, aber wenn Du verantwortlich für die Schäden an ein paar 100 deutschen Autos bist, gehst Du einfach zu weit.

In den konsensuell geprägten Merkel-Jahren ist das hässliche Gesicht des deutschen Konservatismus in Vergessenheit geraten (der @spiegel.de nahm das bereits am vom 25.2.2006 wahr). Daher rührt m.E. die derzeit verbreitete Verblüffung über sein comeback.

#OTD february 4th, 211 AD emperor Caracalla suceeded his father. I give you our plaster cast of his portrait.
Nota bene: This portrait isn't a critique of the emperor, but indicative of the strongman image he fully intended to convey.
I won't post any presidential mugshots etc. for comparison.

And let me throw this into the ring for #NationalHedgehogDay : a terracotta in our collection at Tübingen University, acquired in Alexandria in the very early 1900s.
I still don't know what sort of animal this is supposed to depict. Any suggestions are most appreciated!

Erinnert sich noch jemand, wie Angela Merkel Herrn Gröhe sein Deutschlandfähnchen wegnahm?
Was müssen Gestalten wie Linnemann, Spahn und Klöckner (und aus der Ferne Friedrich Merz) damals gelitten haben, dass es jetzt so aus Ihnen herausbricht?

The mold had been taken off the original statue (brought to Paris by Napoleon) before it was shipped back to Rome in 1815.
Tübingen paid 150 francs for the cast + 80 francs for the packaging and 349 German gilders for shipping and tariffs (together with the Borghese gladiator)

Well, our Tübingen plaster cast has its fig leaf on, too - and it is going to stay, not for reasons of censorship, but because it is part of the piece's history. As our very first cast it came here in 1836 from the Louvre's (then: "Musée Royal") renowned 'atelier des moulages'.

Lovely little weirdo, that one. And for some time that idea of a donkey-headed bird has stayed on in the Athenian imagination:
