It’s Leo season!

The lion is described as proud, determined, loyal, and generous… but also bossy and self-centered. Does that describe you? Be honest!

Pair of Busts of Silenos

1st century BCE/1st century CE

Roman

“These part-human, part-goat silenoi (sing. silenus) represented the hedonistic desires of mankind released by the magical elixir of the wine god Dionysos. Each figure is made of two pieces that were cast separately and fastened together. The whites of their eyes and their teeth are silver. …These magnificent silenoi once decorated the sides of the curved headboard of an elaborate couch used by diners at the lavish banquets that were popular pastimes for members of high society.”

O happy Rome! who in thy martyr princes’ blood, A twofold stream, art washed and doubly sanctified. All earthly beauty thou alone outshinest far, Empurpled by their outpoured life-blood’s glorious tide.
