So tired of algorithms censoring classic art and historical frescoes as 'adult content'. It’s exhausting. Modern puritanism is one of the most hateful things about the internet today. Tumblr should be more careful with those of us who, for now, are still here!

Garden, Roman fresco. Casa del Bracciale d' Oro in Pompei, now Museo Archeologico Nazionale Napoli
Augustus of Prima Porta (Augustus -Octavian- was the founder of the Roman Empire and the first Roman emperor from 27 BC until his death in AD 14)
The great Roman poet Ovid, whose death at the beginning of the 1st century marked the end of the Golden Age of classical literature, was unjustly banned by Augustus—and now, by Tumblr. My post about him was deleted solely for the "sin" of including his book covers: The Art of Love and Love Poems. One features a drawing of a man and woman embracing, almost kissing; the other shows two ancient statues of naked women from behind, their arms wrapped around each other's waists.
More than 2,000 years ago, Ovid scandalized Augustus's ultraconservative regime by speaking freely of adultery and lovers. Well, Ovid continues to scandalize the absurd puritanism of the 21st century. I just needed to get that off my chest…
And by the way, I haven't even mentioned how upset I am that one of my favorite blogs, ancientprettythings—which was full of beautiful photos of frescoes, statues, and ancient monuments—left Tumblr. I'm absolutely certain it was due to censorship.

Imagine digging a small 6-square-meter hole for a hotel elevator shaft and accidentally stumbling upon the origins of Barcelona. 🏛️✨
Excavations at 3 Hercules Street have unearthed a massive 42-square-meter paved area dating back to the founding of the Roman colony.
At a depth of 2.5 meters, archaeologists unexpectedly found perfectly aligned slabs, a complex hydraulic system, and over a hundred fragments of imported marble.

Goodbye Lince! The most famous cat in the excavations, our dean, has left us. As beautiful as the sun, father of many of Pompeii's felines, an indomitable stray, guardian of the brothel, and a global influencer, he leaves his memory in the photos of our visitors. He was cared for until the very end by volunteers from Archeogatti Onlus. Have a good trip, Lince! Cat paradise awaits you.
Pompeii - Parco Archeologico
House of Trebius Valens, Pompeii. This house, with its atrium and peristyle, is considered the typical model of a Roman domus from the Republican era.

In films and series set in Ancient Rome, characters are often depicted performing the "Roman salute" by extending their right arm. However, this gesture is actually a modern invention. It was popularized by the painter Jacques-Louis David in his 1784 work, The Oath of the Horatii. Adopted by Mussolini's fascist regime as a symbol of his New Rome and shortly after by Hitler, it was subsequently cemented in popular culture through cinema.
Romans primarily greeted each other with the dextrarum iunctio—a handshake similar to the modern one—and the salutatio militaris, a military salute more analogous to the one used by modern armed forces.
The Oath of the Horatii by Jacques-Louis David (1784). The Louvre
Marble statue -100–200 AD- of a Molossian dog, an extinct breed. Roman writer Ovid mentioned Molossian dogs in his work. These dogs worked in the Roman army, as guards to add security to the fort. They were also good company and guardians in the richest houses.
