Flora (or Persephone or the allegory of Spring)
1st century AD
Fresco (38 x 32 cm)
National Archaeological Museum of Naples

This fresco was found in Villa Arianna in Stabiae. Stabiae was an ancient Roman city, or rather a string of luxury villas stretching along the coast, located on the western side of Italy, in the modern-day region of Campania. It was well known for its luxurious villas and rich maritime trade. The city was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, along with the nearby city of Pompeii. The well-preserved remains of Stabiae, including frescoes and mosaics, offer a unique glimpse into the daily life and culture of ancient Rome. Among the many treasures discovered in Villa Arianna is the fresco of Flora, exhibited today in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples. It is a 38×32 cm fresco, created for the triclinium area of the Villa. The fresco depicts the goddess Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers and spring, surrounded by a variety of plants and flowers. In vibrant colors, intricate details, and naturalistic depictions of plants and flowers, the lovely Flora, a young girl shown with her back to us, delicately gathering spring flowers. Barefoot with a light step, her veil and the hem of her dress floating in the air, Flora turns suddenly to the side to pick a spring from a thin shrub with white flowers. Shown in a relaxed and carefree manner, the goddess is thought to reflect the changing cultural attitudes of the time, the increasing wealth and luxury of the Roman Empire, and may suggest a greater appreciation for the beauty and abundance of nature in ancient Campania.

Farben kaufen, mischen und die Laune hochhalten, bis das Fresco in alter Pracht erstrahlt #Fresco von 2010 macht viel richtig, ist - typisch älteres Spiel - angenehm fokussiert und bietet mit der "Aufstehleiste" zu Beginn jeder Runde spannende Entscheidungen: Wer Startspieler sein will, muss Nachteile hinnehmen. Die Mechanik brilliert im Spiel zu zweit nicht ganz, obwohl der halbautonome Bot Leonardo dann mitmischt. Kann man spielen - aber eher ab drei Spielenden.

Have a courageous Day of Ares aka Mars' Day aka Tuesday 🗡️

"[#Ares] took her hand and spoke thus to her: ‘Come, my darling; let us go to bed and take our delight together. #Hephaistos is no longer here; by now, I think, he has made his way to Lemnos, to visit the uncouth-spoken Sintians.’
So he spoke, and sleep with him was a welcome thought to her."
Homer, Odyssey 8. 267

"For you [Venus] alone have mastery to share
Your peace with us, since Mars, who governs all
Affairs of savage war, will often fall
Into your lap, by constant love subdued"
