Arles Amphitheatre

Marble statue of a wounded warrior by Chapps.SL

Marble statue of a wounded warrior

Copy of a Greek bronze statue of ca. 460–450 BCE.

The subject of this statue has not been identified with certainty. The warrior held a shield on his left arm and probably a spear in his right hand, and he stands with his feet carefully placed on a sloping surface. The figure must have some association with the sea because a planklike form surrounded by waves is carved on the plinth of a second copy in the British Museum, London. It has been suggested that he is the Greek hero Protesilaos, who ignored an oracle's warning that the first Greek to step on Trojan soil would be the first to die in battle. This statue might represent him descending from the ship ready to meet his fate. Following the discovery of a wound carved in the right armpit, the figure was reinterpreted as a dying warrior falling backward and identified as a famous statue by the sculptor Kresilas. Many other identifications have been suggested to explain the unusual stance and the unique iconography of this statue and of the copy in London, but none has been generally accepted.

Roman, mid-Imperial, Antonine, ca. 138-181 CE. Said to be from Rome (Richter 1954, p. 23). Early 1920s, head and body excavated from near Rome, 1924-25.

H. 87 in. (220.98 cm)

The Roman Road taken under heavy cloud.

The previous image was taken crossing that field on the left, and I'm now under that huge black cloud and heading quickly into Beckley, if need be to take shelter in the church.
I didn't realise at the time that this was the Roman road that crosses the moor; behind me it becomes a lane lined with pretty cottages leading up to the church.
Apparently, although not particularly eye catching, the road is quite well preserved across the moor; 14 metres wide, raised up with drainage ditches on either side and underneath the grass still maintaining a surface of compacted limestone, cambered from the centre for drainage like modern roads. It is now a footpath/bridleway.
Not a great image - it was so dark! But I thought worth posting for the interest.

Belogradchik Fortress by Kadu Flyer

Belogradchik Fortress

The Belogradchik Fortress in Northern Bulgaria has existed since Roman times. It's a natural fortress though and so it was probably used long before then way back into Thracian times.
Climbing to the top is hard work on a hot day in June at 35c.
Inside we were treated to the howls and calls of some wild animal. The noises echoed around the rocks and were really quite eerie. We were convinced it was some bird of prey nesting somewhere out of sight.
Eventually we asked one of the few others exploring and they said it was a large frog down the well.
So I checked out the well and sure enough there was a frog the size of a dinner plate there, he sure had a loud and very strange voice.
He was obviously in need of a mate, though how she'll ever get up there ........
