She is a pretty lady

Such alas is his fate
-I posted his Mother's photo though-you will like her, big eyes and a beautiful complexion!My mother & stepfather raise beef cattle. There is a portion of the population that just are so sweet that they earn their way out of going to the auction house and into the bull's haram...

He's a bold little fellow.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm
look at those muscles.... :wub:
How tasty that would be!

Ouch!
migraine on the way! interesting this-if that is a sword blow then we seem to be talking a falcata like whack rather than a stab,however if the gladius is a "clean bladed spanish sword" with plenty of weight forward then that would do the job.Correct me if im wrong -kopesh admired by Alexander, (for just this sort of work) ,re-invented as short sword-becomes falcata/spanish sword-refined as "gladius" as we identify it.Falchion is later cousin of falcata for close up work?
The Egyptian kopesh is indeed similar to the Spanish falcata and Alexander did admire it enough to adopt it for use in his campains.
However, the falcata is seperate from the gladius. The falcata could cause this damage if the helmet indention from the blow distributed the force as such. Though, I'm inclined to side with Lost Warrior on this, I think this un-helmeted chap was smashed with a war hammer.
Falcata:

I think they built them the same way the Veneti did. I.E. "shell first" instead of laying the keel first.
This picture, judging from how the planks are fitted together seems to indicate that this is correct.

Pertinax,
You are a superb photographer...
-
Such splendid scenery that we don't have here in the US.
I suggest you get out of Chicago!!!
Here's a few places you will find scenery like that:
North Carolina
Virginia
Tennessee
Vermont
Maine
etc...

just imagine having these things in your purse, the stuff we have now looks like it was made by gnomes with a hangover, using lead.
If i had one of these I'd be like Golom.... My precious.....
...gnomes with a hangover! ha!
-
Surely another Phocaean example?
Judging by the Pegasus, I'd say we've looked at other work by that very artist... Note the wing details on this one and the last entry in my coin gallery. Exactly the same 'latice' design at the feather roots.
-
Yea, I heard that the stuff stinks, though I've never been in close contact with it I wouldn't know. It was on a Jeff Foxworthy sketch though
Induces dreams...wow...lol that would not be cool for me...my dreams are almost always nightmares or at least really strange ::laughs thinking of the last dream she remembers::
My girlfriend just complained that my vitamin-herb cabinet stinks....
The smell doesn't bother me but it is rather strong...In regards to your dreams L-W, what message from the Gods do you think Hermes is trying to relay?
-
Breathtaking!
-
I gave a little bit in the last picture I posted of the Sacrifice Table. I should probably post more details in the forum.

Imposing. What is or was hunted in this area?
Exclusively waterfowl. The Currituck Sound is right behind me from where I took the picture from.
Though, for conservation reasons not much (if anything) is hunted there any more.

How well does your job suit you and ...pay you?
I would love to have your job. Gives me aspirations, even though I'm horrible at math.Flavius,
I'm not in the Navy anymore and those days are reluctantly behind me. Though, I still work in aerospace and am still affiliated with DoD. I make a comfortable living but not as much as I would make in the private sector. Trade off is quality of life, I have tons of time off.
When I worked in the Test Cell, I was at the tail end of the "good ole days" in the sense that you still did a lot of things manually and worked most of your performance formula calculations by hand. As I was leaving they were bringing in computer systems that do everything! (Except for the not so fun part of having to set everything up) The computers even controlled the 'stick'. Took all the fun out of it, just pulling reports...
One of the resons I moved on.

It's Greek for 'provocative'... :angel:

Quite interesting... this is the first I have heard of this bugger

A very fine piece of artwork
The rendering of her eyes gives her a very sagacious intensity

Magnificent!

A slight hint of Our Sovereign Lady, Queen Elizabeth the Second in the features.
I do believe so!

"black ships before troy?"
Being that the galley is of the Bireme - Aphract ('open') design that is good assumption. It is the same design that is often depicted on 'geometric' pottery found from Archaic period tombs on down into the Mycenean tombs...
I saw one of these described as being of the 4th Century BC. Rubbish if you ask me.

I wonder if this may have been a sacred plant of Hermes...
"Odysseus stepped quickly over the threshold into the palace. He found the Phaiakian lords and rulers pouring libations from their cups to the Euskopos Argeiphontes [Hermes] to whom by custom they poured libation last when they turned their thoughts to the nights rest..." -Odyssey 7.137
"She [Maia] bare a son [Hermes] ... a bringer of dreams, a watcher by night" -Homeric Hymn 4 to Hermes

Is this Amphion by any chance? (on the dolphin of course)
From what I've come to gather, it really depended on where the coin originated from. In many cases of the western Greek colonies, it was often meant to be their eponimous founder.
In this case I honestly do not know.
The craftsmanship is exquisite.

I wonder if anyone has tried to get one of those and an American Grey Squirrel to produce offspring?
He's cute
