all the latin students in my year went to a lecture on latin used during the italian fascism and i learned that there's a wholeass "codex" with fascist propaganda walled into a giant obelisk in rome? specifically so it can be found by potential future generations/archeologists? and no one has done anything about it??

#like. the obelisk with mussolini dux written on it still stands in rome #and the codex paints him as a sort of jesus savior figure #we read some of it (in translation) and its almost ridiculous #ik the linked article is from 2016 but the dr/prof who co-researched this really gave the presentation last week so.#still there. still relevant #another one for the void
