The so-called "Diptych of Honorius," made by an unknown artist for the Roman nobleman Anicius Petronius Probus to honor his consulship in 406 AD/CE. The left panel depicts Honorius, then ruler of the Western Roman Empire, in military garb. In his right hand, Honorius holds a standard that reads IN NOMINE CHRI(STI) VINCAS SEMPER ("May you always conquer in the name of Christ"). In his left hand is a globe surmounted by a figure of Victory, representing his claim to universal rule. The right panel depicts Probus himself, likewise in military garb and holding a staff. This diptych is now in the Museo del tesoro della cattedrale di Aosta, Italy. Photo credit: Dea Picture Library/Wikimedia Commons.

the only roman emperor i respect is honorius because, during his reign, rome was sacked, and when someone brought him the news that rome had perished he freaked out bc he thought they were talking about his pet bird named "rome," and when they explained that they were talking about the city he was like "oh thank god. who gives a shit"

An ilustration book covers tribute to one great book series done by great writer Jonathan Stroud. I made book order by story setings: The Ring of Solomon, The Amulet of Samarkand, The Golem's Eye and The Ptolemy's Gate.

ah I see you’ve caught me thinking about the voice the audio book narrator does for Honorius
