It's the Day of Ares / Mars' Day / #Tuesday!
Happy #ValentinesDay from #Mars and #Venus in the Terme di Diocleziano! 💕
The goddess is embracing her man who is all dressed up for war. But Love is known to subdue War, but he never subdues her.
Dated to ca. 170 CE, #ancientRome.

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.

A statue of #Mars depicted in a fresco found in the House of Venus in #Pompeii. The god is surprisingly pale, possibly meant to emphasise it being a statue along with the plinth he is standing on. In #GreekRomanArt, men were usually depicted with tan skin.

It's the Day of Helios / Sol's Day / #Sunday!
Meet the "Rising Helios", a votive relief made of marble from 2nd century CE #ancientRome. #Helios rises from the sea with the four horses pulling his quadriga in front. His spikey sunray crown easily identifies the god.

According to the satirist #Juvenal, Roman #sexworkers danced naked and fought in mock gladiator combat at the #Floralia. #Ovid says that hares and goats—animals considered fertile and very horny—were ceremonially released as part of the festivities.

Our word #May derives from the Roman month Maius, named for the goddess Maia, the mother of Hermes-Mercurius. The Emperors Nero & Commodus tried to change the month's name to Claudius & Lucius respectively, but it didn't stick. The Romans celebrated the #Floralia April 28–May 3.
The Floralia opened with theatrical performances and concluded with competitive games and spectacles at the Circus and a sacrifice to #Flora, goddess of flowers, vegetation, and fertility.
