It's the Day of Selene / Luna's Day / #Monday!
Today I'm travelling, like #Selene. She's associated with the Roman goddess Luna, shown here to urge on the bulls drawing her biga. A torch-holding #Hesperos (the evening star) is flying ahead.
Detail from the Parabiago plate, dated 2nd–5th centuries CE.

Meet Diana #Selene from the Porta San Sebastiano, a marble sculpture today in the Musei Capitolini in #Rome.
The goddess is dressed in a peplos of such fine fabric that it shows the outline of her body beneath. She displays the common iconography of Selene: a billowing cloak, the lunar crescent on her head & a torch or crop.

A rare depiction of the moon goddess #Luna-Selene on a Roman #coin. She is joined by the Cancer zodiac sign. It was discovered on Carmel Beach in Haifa, Israel. The region was part of the Roman province of Syria Palaestina at the time it was minted, during the reign of Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius, who ruled between 138-161 CE.

"Hear, O divine queen, light-bringing and splendid #Selene,
Bull-horned Moon traversing the air in a race with night.
Nocturnal, torch-bearing, maiden of fair stars,
Moon waxing and waning, feminine and masculine,
Glittering lover of horses, mother of time, bearer of fruit."
Orphic Hymn 9
