Hail, white-armed goddess, bright #Selene, mild, bright-tressed queen! Now I'll leave you and sing the glories of demigods, whose deeds poets, the servants of the Muses, celebrate with lovely lips.

It's been a few years so I don't really remember, but I may have cranked the knobs in Photoshop for this image. Still, looks cool, huh? Sort of alien landscapey.

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 2ndβ5th 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.
