I found it interesting that he was about to sacrifice victims who were Blacks living in Britain. Umm, I don't think human sacrifice was going on. The animals had black fur or wool. The whole incident seems fanciful to me. Doubt it really happened. Adds to the mystique of the emperor. |

  This post is a response to an October 2018 New Yorker article, The Myth of Whiteness in Classical Sculpture, written by Margaret Talbot, which discusses the use of colour on ancient Roman and Greek statues. The article argues that academics have known for centuries that the marble figures were covered in bright paint but chose to ignore it so that we, the viewers of ancient statutes, now believe they were intentionally white. helenmilesmosaics.org/ancient-mosaics-general/skin-colour-in-ancient-mosaics/ |
