#PortraitThursday – A magnificent bronze portrait of Marcus Aurelius (AD 161–180), discovered in 1974 at the Roman auxiliary fort of Lugio (modern Dunaszekcső), on the Danube frontier in Hungary. Dated to AD 161–169, the head is approximately one and a half times life-size and ranks among the finest surviving bronze portraits from Roman Pannonia.
Cast using the lost-wax technique, probably in a workshop in Italy or the eastern provinces, the portrait depicts the emperor in his forties, with thick curly hair and a full beard.
The head was found in a small brick building, possibly a military shrine, and originally belonged to a larger imperial statue, perhaps showing Marcus Aurelius in armour. Its presence at the fort probably reflected the imperial cult and the emperor's symbolic authority over the frontier garrison.

I read the first one—absolutely enthralled—and promptly bought as many as I could find. I then didn't read another one for years until I needed a vacation book this summer.
Flashman and the Redskins was phenomenal!
Electing a 19-year-old sophomore to the Clerk of Maricopa County's Superior Court infuriates me just as much as the collateral damage of great candidates like @votewarren or @NortonforAZ.
None of this will affect—nor even register—with Trump but we'll be dealing w/ it for years.
Sounds like traveling in Latin America, to be honest.

Levin is prodigious; this seems to capture his process, which applies to much more than bleeding-edge biology.

Which is odd, because the normal midterm cope from the losing party is that it’s all turnout. But also it shouldn’t be treated as a cope. Your voters not showing up is very bad.
