Today, I visited the ancient city of Harran. On the flat plains in the background, in 53 BCE, Crassus famously led several Roman legions into one of Rome’s largest and most devastating defeats at the hands of the Parthians. I never thought I’d be lucky to enough to see it! 1/

This is Nike, the goddess of victory, fixing her sandal. This sculpture, dating from 420-400 BCE is one of the most beautiful sculptures produced in Athens. The way her chiton and himation(her cloak) hug her body, bunching up as she bends to fix her shoe. Absolutely stunning!
