The design of a flying phoenix on the rim was frequently represented on vessels and tilework of this period. The motif was derived from China, most likely transmitted on prestigious silk textiles.

The inscri...

I guess I didn’t wake up thinking I needed to know the names of the 279 named triremes ⛡️in the 4th century BCE Athenian navy, but it appears we all do. link.springer.com/article/10.1... I do like that 3.58% had animal names like ΛΡοντῆ (lion skin) and Λέαινα (lioness). Greek epigraphy is fun! πŸͺ¦

I'm so sorry--if it's any consolation, I now know way more about Maine (one of our less populous and less notable states) than I ever wanted to *and I'm one of ~them~*

One of my text chains with a friend rn is just a running tally of number of countries technically involved. I think we're at 16? When do we decide it's "worldwide?"
