batgirl (2000) #64 // batgirl (2008) #3
[ID: a tweet by @/gaybakshi that reads: “gay people never flirt normally its always gotta be shit like this”. The photo underneath it has been edited to be Rose Wilson as the Ravager and Cassandra Cain as Batgirl in two separate interactions. In the first photo, Cass is putting Rose's own sword through her neck while demanding for her and Slade to not move. In the second photo, Rose is holding her sword tip to Cass's throat as Cass looks up at her from their knees. END ID]

Roman Coin - Gold Aureus of Nero
C. AD 64-65
Obverse: portrait of Nero, NEO CAESAR AUGUSTUS. Reverse: The Temple of Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and endings. Traditionally, the temple was open during times of war and closed when peace was restored. Nero celebrates this rare occurrence by depicting the temple with closed doors.
Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus (15 December AD 37 – 9 June AD 68) was the fifth Roman emperor and final emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, reigning from AD 54 until his death in AD 68.
Nero was born at Antium in AD 37, the son of Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus and Agrippina the Younger, a great-granddaughter of the emperor Augustus. When Nero was two, his father died. His mother married the emperor Claudius, who adopted Nero as his heir. When Claudius died in AD 54, Nero became emperor with the support of the Praetorian Guard and Senate. In the early years of his reign, Nero was advised and guided by his mother Agrippina, his tutor Seneca the Younger, and his praetorian prefect Sextus Afranius Burrus, but soon sought to rule independently and rid himself of restraining influences. His power struggle with his mother was eventually resolved when he had her murdered. Roman sources implicate Nero in the deaths of both his wife Claudia Octavia – supposedly so he could marry Poppaea Sabina – and his step brother Britannicus.
During Nero's reign, the general Corbulo fought the Roman–Parthian War of 58–63, and made peace with the hostile Parthian Empire. The Roman general Suetonius Paulinus quashed a major revolt in Britain led by queen Boudica. The Bosporan Kingdom was briefly annexed to the empire, and the First Jewish–Roman War began. When the Roman senator Vindex rebelled, with support from the eventual Roman emperor Galba, Nero was declared a public enemy and condemned to death in absentia. He fled Rome, and on 9 June AD 68 committed suicide. His death sparked a brief period of civil war known as the Year of the Four Emperors.
