Got sidetracked by snapzooming in on a mention of historically unreliable homosexuality when I was just trying to figure the fuck out where all those Hasdrubals are coming from.

Anyways, I love the age old precedent for "He only got the job because he's a boytoy." Love that the slander I write about in my modern day story can always be tweaked to be exactly the same throughout a lot of space and time.

judge all carthage-related literature by how hasdrubal is portrayed

Mago and Hannibal :) I’m still figuring out a look for Hasdrubal, but I was reading Livy and the rings scene™️ is playing on repeat in my mind, so drawing Mago came first even though that one painting of Hannibal recognizing Hasdrubal’s head does something to me emotionally

Lou hi!! As your reincarnation au was mentioned a few days ago I was wondering if you could shed some light on Gawain sending Lancelot his cousin’s head in a box because I have literally not stopped thinking about it since I have read it. I enjoy it a lot because that is WILD. Where did that come from. Did you do that

hiii hiii lol i am glad u liked it i started that fic so long ago its insane to me that it exists. but argh i think about gawains vengence/insanity arc so much because YES he is trying to get lancelot to kill him, but i do think he is also trying to hurt lancelot (partially by getting lancelot to kill him, like what could be a more perfectly fucked up punishment?) and he is antagonizing and punishing him in a way that is NOT (at least how i see it) random; he is delibrately attacking the pillars of lancelots life, honour, role as a knight. publically attacking his honour and adherance to chivalry, removing him from his feudal ties, burning his land and country-- and attacking his kin. this whole saga is longer n more detailed in the vulgate but i dont have my books rn so i only have le morte but gawain deliberately goes after lionel in battle and almost kills him and i do think that was intentional and that if he hadnt been stopped at the last second he deffo would have killed lionel and if he did kill lionel he would probably put his head in a box and mail it to lancelot. 1. beheading is his thing 2. its a reference to roman history #Hannibal-presented-with-the-head-of-his-brother-Hasdrubal-core 3. gawain keeps escalating by doing worse more fucked up shit the longer lancelot insists on not killing him (see: confessing to the murder of dinadan which he technically didnt even do) so if he got the opportunity to do something insanely over the line he would do it

In regards to your woes of everyone being named Marcellius. I just read "The Carthaginians" by Dexter Hoyos, and if you thought the Romans were bad for reusing names, then hoo boy the Carthaginians were even worse. All Carthaginian aristocrats had one of these names, Hannibal, Hasdrubal, Himilco, Gisco, Bomilcar, Hanno, Bostar, Adherbal, Mago, and Maharbal. And if they didn't have last names, and if they had cognomen, they were rarely recorded. There are only two noble Carthaginian families that can definitely be identified, and thats the Magonids, and the Barcids, And with the Magonids, that wasn't even their cognomen. We just know that the descendants of a certain Mago held power for a century and a half, so all the major Carthaginians we hear about in this area are Probably Magonids, unless stated otherwise.

I'm never teasing my mom for naming dogs after food items and onomatopoeia again.

Alberto Fabio Lorenzi, Sophonisbe (Sophonisba). Projet de costume de Worth pour Madame Bartet (Costume design for Madame Bartet in the role of Sophonisba by House of Worth), La Gazette du Bon Ton, 1913.

This project of House of Worth was executed for Mrs. Bartet in the role of Sophonisba. It consists of a large shirt in oriental tulle with a lamé of silver, half covered with an embroidered Indian veil, and a cream coat in an Indian transparent veil. The cabochons are of gold and fine pearls and the belt is a double necklace of orient.

Sophonisba (fl. 203 BC) was a Carthaginian noblewoman who lived during the Second Punic War, and the daughter of Hasdrubal Gisco Gisgonis (son of Gisco). In an act that became legendary, Sophonisba poisoned herself rather than be humiliated in a Roman triumph. (x)

Trying Civilizations VI

So pretty much the first thing I do when I try out a new Civilizations game is scope out which leading ladies are available. Glad to see my girls Pharaoh Cleopatra VII and Queen Dido back as the leaders of Egypt and Phoenicia.

Though I was a little surprised to see Dido with Tyre instead of Carthage. I kinda assumed it meant that we’d also see Hannibal or Hasdrubal, but unless they’re in a future DLC or something, I haven’t seen anything of Carthage. I also liked seeing Tamar of Georgia, Catherine de’ Medici, Bà Triệu, Queen Victoria, and a lot of other great women leaders on the list, to name a few.

My latest campaign has been with Queen Amanitore of Nubia, settling the Upper Nile. Though she seems like an odd choice when they could have had her predecessor Queen Amanirenas, who fought the Romans to a standstill a couple generations previous.

I actually chuckled, meanwhile, seeing Gorgo in charge of Sparta, instead of, say, Leonidas or Lysander. She’s also one of two Greek civilization leaders, opposite Pericles.

But the figure that really got me invested was the addition of my girl Queen Tomyris, leading the Scythian civilization. Same badass warrior queen who stood up to, defeated, and slew no less a figure than Cyrus the Great of Persia! Haven’t played much with Tomyris yet, but she’s next on my list!

Is that actually your voice? Sounds like a theatre actor improving as a some sort of renaissance character

Vettonian Sword and Scabbard from the Necropolis of La Osera, Spain dated between the 4th - 3rd Centuries BCE on display at the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid, Spain

The Vettones are often thought to be Celtiberian culture who formed confederations with neighbouring peoples as well as trading with them. Celtic metal work has been found in their sites, such as La Osera, as well as Greek pottery shpwing trade links with the Mediterranean. Alongside other Celtiberian peoples they fought back against Carthaginian invasions under Hasdrubal the Fair and his brother-in-law Hannibal.

The iron swords and daggers found in the mountain regions of what is now Andalusia and near the middle valley and mouth of the River Tagus are characterised by their faceted pommels with antennae-like ornaments decorated with copper and silver damascening, and a blade with a V-shaped rib.
