Asàrotos òikos (unswept floor) mosaic
This mosaic decorated the dining room floor of a villa in Rome during the early 2nd Century AD. The artist used bits of glass and colored marble to simulate the mess after a rich banquet with fish, chicken, shellfish, fruit and nuts. What is left of the mosaic is on display at the Vatican Museum in Rome, where I made these pictures.

Emma Southon on Germanicus attempting (pretend) suicide only for his soldiers to tell him to use a sharper blade:
“At this point, [he] had three kids, was in his late twenties, commanded a huge army, was first in line to the throne if something happened to Tiberius, and was acting like the protagonist in a very low-quality YA book.”

Agrippina the Younger, 15AD - 59AD
Purdah, Sylvia Plath
Jade —
Stone of the side,
The antagonized
Side of green Adam, I
Smile, cross-legged,
Enigmatical,
Shifting my clarities.
So valuable!
How the sun polishes this shoulder!
And should
The moon, my
Indefatigable cousin
Rise, with her cancerous pallors,
Dragging trees —
Little bushy polyps,
Little nets,
My visibilities hide.
I gleam like a mirror.
At this facet the bridegroom arrives
Lord of the mirrors!
It is himself he guides
In among these silk
Screens, these rustling appurtenances.
I breathe, and the mouth
Veil stirs its curtain
My eye
Veil is
A concatenation of rainbows.
I am his.
Even in his
Absence, I
Revolve in my
Sheath of impossibles,
Priceless and quiet
Among these parrakeets, macaws!
O chatterers
Attendants of the eyelash!
I shall unloose
One feather, like the peacock.
Attendants of the lip!
I shall unloose
One note
Shattering
The chandelier
Of air that all day flies
Its crystals
A million ignorants.
Attendants!
Attendants!
And at his next step
I shall unloose
I shall unloose —
From the small jeweled
Doll he guards like a heart —
The lioness,
The shriek in the bath,
The cloak of holes.
