🪔 #ReliefWednesday: The Arch of Constantine's attic panels show fascinating Roman imperial recycling. These reliefs, originally showing Marcus Aurelius addressing troops and sacrificing (2nd c. CE), were modified with Constantine's face: he was associating himself with "Good emperors" of Rome.
Perfect example of spolia used as political messaging in stone.

🪔 #OnThisDay Birth of Lucius Verus (130 CE), who'd become Rome's first true co-emperor with Marcus Aurelius. He oversaw successful Parthian campaigns, extending Rome's eastern frontier beyond the Euphrates.
Known for competence and luxury alike, he died in 169 CE returning from the Marcomannic Wars.
