Image description: A detailed relief of Hemera standing front on to the viewer. What she held in her left hand is unclear. In her right hand she holds up the billowing folds of her gown. Her hair sits down to her shoulders and there’s damage to her face obscuring her original features. Held by the Aphrodisias Museum.

☀️Hemera, the personification of day ☀️

This #ReliefWednesday we head to the Sebasteion of Aphrodisias and the depiction of Hemera whose cloak fans out in a brilliant display of velificatio. The folding drapery of this piece is stunning to behold!

What did ancient Rome smell like? BO, rotting corpses and raw sewage for starters ... We can probably safely assume Rome, in many areas, was likely pretty dirty and rank-smelling. That said, there's evidence of perfumes, incense and even deodorants.
