It's the Day of Ares / Mars' Day / #Tuesday!
In the "House of the Ephebe" in #Pompeii there is an arched lararium niche embellished with white stucco on a blue background. The lararium is the place where offerings and prayers were made to the gods. This one is decorated with a large painting of the love of #Mars and #Venus.

I am flabbergasted because I got today this nice Saturnalia present: it is a statuette of the goddess Nemesis from one of the Swiss gladiator group Ars Gladiatoria because they honor my support to them and my research in all things gladiatorial.

Described as ‘one of the most mysterious deities represented in the household shrines’, Enigma (as she’s been nicknamed) is seen here reclining on a couch in this colourful #lararium painting. A three-legged table and a candelabrum complete the scene. #Pompeii #Archaeology #Art
