I was reading a footnote to Themistius' Brotherly Love Oration and ended up doing a quick painting of Seleucus II Callinicus while looking all these people up

#fun fact! caracalla (and by extension geta) is mentioned in the brotherly love oration itself :)#hey caracalla. do you like that. that you killed geta to get rid of him and now you cant escape the ghost of the brother you hate #OOF. well. anyway. i'm in the middle of making a blog specifically to spiral out about caracalla-geta-valentinian-valens #bc i feel myself 'feeling' spread out too much here and i dislike it. its like fraying at the edges. anyway:#fully intend to just. vomit out all my thoughts and art about it there for about four months and hopefully i'll return to a regular #state of being when i see gladiator 2 because its like. eugh. too much roman empire here. too many tags to keep track of #but also i cant shut up about caracalla right now and quite frankly. i need to lock myself into a room and just get it out of my system #drawing tag #CHRIST. what do i even tag this as. can i technically shove this into my 'it's all greek to me' tag. hm. maybe not. that's stretching it #Seleucus II Callinicus
