RIP Marjane Satrapi, author of the amazing graphic novels Persepolis about living during the fundamentalist revolution in Iran in the 70’s and 80’s. She also created the animated movie based on the graphic novels, which is where these gifs come from.

The Flavian Amphitheater. Commissioned by Emperor Vespasian c.72 AD. Placed on the site of the once extravagant, Domus Aurea, the glorious private estate of the highly disliked Emperor, Nero. The lake on this estate was drained and the Colosseum was built as a gift to the people of Rome. Opened in 80 AD and still marvelled at in 2026.
