Thinking that modern places have any continuity with their ancient counterparts is a mistake. Rome, Athens, etc are not ancient cities, they’re modern cities (with God-awful urbanism) plopped on top of the ruins of an ancient city. If Rome and Athens were not what they are, we would consider...

Facial reconstruction of a Merethic Era Atmoran from Saarthal Founded by Ysgramor, Saarthal was the first city of the Atmorans, who would later be known as Nords. After their arrival, the Atmorans lived peacefully with the local Falmer. However, fearing that the Atmoran expansion would surpass their own, the Falmer destroyed the city, and only Ysgramor and his two sons escaped the carnage. The destruction of the city was later avenged when Ysgramor returned with his famed warriors, the Five Hundred Companions. Several expeditions have been carried out by archaeologists from the College of Winterhold to study the ancient ruins of Saarthal. During these excavations, several cranial series were uncovered. Anthropologists from the College of Winterhold have noted increased hypermorphy in the ancient Atmorans relative to their modern Nord descendants, including larger brow ridges, much larger teeth, very wide bigonial and bicondylar widths, wider and taller faces, a more archaic low orbital shape, more defined upper facial relief, slightly wider nasal apertures, and slightly weaker chin protrusion. The skulls were predominantly dolichocephalic and very thick, but interestingly had relatively small mastoid processes. Later morphogenetic processes, including admixture with the Mer, and environmental factors such as a more agriculture-based lifestyle, played a role in the gracilization of the Atmorans. Among modern cranial series, the Nords of the Pale, Winterhold, and northern Eastmarch cluster closest to the Atmorans of Saarthal, along with some cranial series from Colovia. The reconstructed man, about 40 years old, stood around 190 cm tall and was massively built. He was found in the lower layers of Saarthal along with some Ancient Nord gear, including a full set of ancient Nord armor, an ancient Nord sword and an ancient Nord amulet with a One-Handed enchantment. Postcranial data shows magicka-related trauma, which was likely the cause of his demise.

A giant classical Greek statue prop on a stadium stage during the opening ceremony of the 2026 Mediterranean Games in Taranto, Italy 🇮🇹 One of the most striking images of the opening ceremony of the Mediterranean Games in Taranto was the monumental figure inspired by Taras, the mythical founder and eponymous hero of the ancient city. Presented almost as a colossal living statue, the figure offered a spectacular reference to the Greek origins of Taranto and to a mythology that has remained embedded in the city’s identity for more than two millennia. According to ancient tradition, Taras was a son of Poseidon and the nymph Satyria. The hero was closely associated with the foundation of the settlement that bore his name, ancient Taras, Τάρας, although Greek historical tradition attributes the actual colonial foundation of the city, around the late 8th century BC, to Spartan settlers known as the Partheniae under their leader Phalanthus. Taranto therefore preserved two intertwined foundation traditions, the mythical story of Taras and the historical memory of its Spartan origins. Taras became particularly recognizable through one of the most enduring symbols of the ancient city, the dolphin rider. Ancient Tarentine coins repeatedly depict a youthful figure riding a dolphin, an image associated with Taras and the protection of his divine father Poseidon. The motif became so deeply connected with Taranto that a dolphin rider remains part of the modern city’s coat of arms. Through its coinage, the image circulated throughout the Mediterranean world and became an unmistakable emblem of one of Magna Graecia’s most powerful Greek cities. The appearance of the colossal Taras at the ceremony therefore carried considerable historical symbolism. Behind the modern Italian city stands the ancient Greek polis of Taras, founded by settlers from Sparta and transformed into a major political, economic and cultural centre of Magna Graecia. By bringing its mythical founder dramatically back to life, the ceremony connected the contemporary Mediterranean Games with the ancient Mediterranean world from which so much of Taranto’s identity emerged. 🎥© greekgetaway #archaeohistories
