Reconstructed Ceiling Plaster Panel from the Bathhouse Frigidarium at Wroxeter Roman City.

The painted panels were intended to make it look like a coffered ceiling for a vault.

"Medicine" : Gustav Klimt : 1907 - Also referred to as "Hygieia". Hygieia is a goddess of health cleanliness and hygiene. Her name is the source for the word "hygiene".

In 1893 Gustav Klimt was commissioned to decorate the University of Vienna with The Triumph of Light over Darkness, a series of paintings representing the university's faculties; Philosophy, Medicine & Jurisprudence. Medicine was presented in 1901, scandalously focusing on the powerlessness of the art of healing and ignoring achievements in prevention and cure, at a time when Vienna was leading the world in medicine. The staff was upset & none of the paintings were fixed to the ceiling of the university's great hall. In 1943 they were moved for protection to a castle, which was destroyed. All that remains from Medicine are drafts and photographs (above).

These days if you prefer, you can have your medicine in & on a champagne flute (below)

FYI - One notable reference regarding Hygieia's role as a goddess of health can be found within the Hippocratic Oath. The oath taken by physicians in order to swear before various healing gods, one of them being Hygieia, that they will follow a code of established ethical standards while practicing medicine.

Section of the translated oath from Greek to English:

"I swear by Apollo the Healer, by Asclepius, by Hygieia, by Panacea, and by all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will carry out, according to my ability and judgment, this oath and this indenture."

It’s a whole four-ish sentences, alongside some forwarded paperwork, and it reads: Congratulations, Roman. This is a great opportunity for you. Looking forward to seeing what you make of it. Good luck. Fuck. Shit fuck. What? It’s so fucking sick that he almost turns to the also-now-defunct sibs group chat to ask Hey, did Gerri ever send you guys professional well wishes or do you think she actually used to sort of believe in me?

secondary thought from Camp Jupiter Confidential: Claudia got her SPQR tattoo from her mom, rather than through the normal ceremony. Love how this implies sometimes, Romans just spontaneously get their tattoos from random sources and no one can verify it so it just becomes a “Source: Dude trust me” about where it came from. I now suspect this has absolutely been exploited before.
