Mosaic depicts five warriors. The left-most figure appears to be able to throw a javelin with his shield raised in his other hand. He is seemingly watched by three others who stand ready but not about to throw anything. A fifth figure can be seen about to take action though the nature of the action is not clear.

Hector for #MosaicMonday?

Very little is known about this mosaic including the provenance, but the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna offers a tentative date of C1st–C2nd CE and the tantalising hint that this may be part of a Trojan War cycle depicting Hector.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

I'm disturbed by anyone celebrating Kirk's death, but I am flabbergasted at anyone calling him a hero. He was a vile man, who like all of is needed mercy and forgiveness, but didn't seem to understand how much.
