my first post :)!!!! this is a pond i built on my smp server
OK, deep breath and stay with me: Cincinnati was named in honor of the Society of the Cincinnati, formed by the men who were commissioned officers in the Revolutionary War. The officers honored Washington because they compared him to the powerful Roman general Cincinnatus who, despite public entreaties, relinquished his title and power in order to return to life as a farmer. It’s all about selfless service, which Washington’s posse thought he embodied.
While I’ve known this for quite a while*, I didn’t know there’s a statue of the OG Cincinnatus here. This was a great discovery from the UC Classics Library, which turned out to be one of the best hours I spent during this trip. Their display featured a little replica of the statue found at Sawyer Point. His full name is Lucius Quinctus Cincinnatus, which I’m considering as my new nom de plume.
On this sunny autumn morning I set off to find LQC and to explore the riverfront (not to be confused with The Banks). I wasn’t sure about walking around this area alone on a Wednesday morning, but I saw a number of solo joggers and some couples nearby. Yet again I was impressed with the Cincinnati park system and how well it’s maintained. Yes, there were a lot of informative plaques, too.
Cincinnatus surveys a majestic arched bridge, just this side of the public restrooms. There he stands, fasces in one hand, plow in the other. Although he is a man of antiquity, he’s been in this spot just under 40 years.**
Nearby is a statue of a flying pig in a gladiator outfit, a nod to the origins of Cincy’s name and its Porkopolis past. A man experiencing homelessness camped in the front of the statue, and I thought it might feel threatening for both of us if I went over to get a picture. So here’s one from the UC Classics Library.
So prominent Cincinnatians’ statues you need to see: Pete Rose, Cincinnatus to the LQ, and Lucky the Pig.
Um, where’s the statue of William Howard Taft? Seriously? He was President AND Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. A pig got a statue, not Big Bill?
Here’s the answer. Another one for next year.

** LQC is very close to the Ohio terminus of the Purple People Bridge. Unfortunately, that end is blocked right now due to some structural issues. Walking the PPP from Kentucky to Ohio is top of the list for 2022.
Third #Cincinnati reference I've caught in #AgentsofSHIELD
Have to wonder if a writer was Porkopolis born.
