Veiled heads of the Roman emperors of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. So-called capite velato (usually fold of the toga draped over the top of the head) was a show of piety during religious sacrifice, and in art it underlines the individual's role as a priest, in the case of the emperors that of the pontifex maximus.
During the Republic, the office of the pontifex maximus, Rome's highest priest, was elective. Augustus became pontifex maximus in 12 BC and from then on the position was automatically assumed by each successive emperor upon their ascension.

I fucking hate the "I'm just a girl" shit and so should you.
You're being tricked into reducing your human experiences to basic stereotypes for the sake of marketing yourself as being pretty and plain and desirable when you could be blowing shit up instead.
Be loud. Be messy. Be obnoxious. Be angry. And never apologize for it.
You're more than "just a girl"

It’s strange to think that long before I had a name or a heartbeat, I existed in some shadowed, elemental way. Women are born with all the eggs they'll ever have, and these begin forming while they're still in the womb. So when my mother was just a fetus, the egg that would become me was already inside her. That means my grandmother carried not just my mother, but the beginning of me as well. For a fleeting moment, the three of use shared one body, and went through life together, layered like nesting dolls.
