Mickey Mouse and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit as Romulus and Remus, as the founders of Rome - Toon History - History in Duckverse and Mouseverse - Happy Birthday to the Best City!

Yes, it's time to change my plans now with my new project called Toon Historia, also History in Duckverse and Mouseverse in which our famous cartoon and comic characters play famous historical figures and will play in important historical events . And first I drew Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and Mickey Mouse as the founders of Rome, as Romulus and Remus. Romulus and Remus, according to Roman mythology and Roman tradition, were the sons of Rhea Sylvia and the god Mars and grandsons of King Numitor. Numitor's brother Amulius overthrew his brother and ordered the execution of his children, including the sons of Sylvia who were thrown into the Tiber River. However, according to legend, a she-wolf found them and raised them until the shepherd Faustulus came along and adopted them. Afterwards they grew up and when they heard the truth, they went to overthrow Amulius and succeeded and restored their grandfather Numitor to be king of the city of Alba. Afterwards, Romulus and Remus went to seven hills in the valley of the Tiber River and there on April 21, 753 BC they founded the eternal city, which will be called Rome. Yes, there was a conflict between the two in which Romulus killed his brother (a tragic event) and thus took the title of the first king of Rome.

Oswald and Mickey who were created by Ub Iwerks and Walt Disney in 1927 and 1928 also became the first Disney icons, however the conflict between Iwerks and Disney resulted in Oswald being part of Universal, until in 2006 Disney bought the rights to Oswald. Yes, that's why I drew Mickey and Oswald as Romulus and Remus, because of that parallel, but don't worry, Mickey won't kill his brother, even though mice and rabbits are not the same species, they are still considered brothers because of Epic Mickey. As Romulus and Remus were the founders of Rome, so Oswald and Mickey were the founders of the new world.

I drew this last year, but I waited for this moment to publish now and I drew it as a redraw from an illustration by Tancredi Scarpelli (1866–1937) for Storia d'Italia by Paolo Giudici (Nerbini, 1929). I drew Mickey in my own style, while I left the old look for Oswald, because I still like him better with dot eyes. And yes, I drew this on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the creation of Disney as well as the 75th anniversary of Topolino magazine, which is published in Italy, and the capital of Italy is definitely Rome. Yes, Rome, the eternal city and capital of one of the greatest empires and greatest civilizations of all time. As well as related to the birthday of the City of Rome, which is celebrated on April 21 every year. Happy Rome Day! Roma Aeterna!

I hope you like this drawing and this idea and if you want to support feel free to like and reblog this! I just ask that you don't copy my same ideas without mentioning me and without my permission. Thank you! Happy Rome Day, my favorite city in the world!

AeternaNova Northern Macedonian ethnographic project

"AeternaNova" (in Latin "aeterna"- ancient and "nova"-new) is an exhibition of photographs, folk costumes, and an ethnographic film, curated by Filip Petkovski Ph.D., UNESCO-certified heritage expert. It aims to represent the cultural heritage of Macedonians, Albanians, Turks, Roma, and Vlachs living in North Macedonia, and to feature recorded personal narratives of the models on the photos who are leaders in their professions (actors, musicians, athletes, public figures), about their views and experiences with diversity and inclusion.

The project incorporates new media, ethnography, and visual anthropology to contextualise the topic, while each photograph serves as a visual narrative aimed to illustrate the dynamic evolution of cultural identity in the region. We are led by the idea that cultural heritage must be reinterpreted and modernised to be largely disseminated, especially amongst the younger population, who might mystify and reject the topic of cultural heritage. The exhibition will take place at the Youth Cultural Centre in Skopje, while the results of the project will be published as a research paper in the journal "Macedonian Folklore" in which we will explore diversity, inclusion, and peaceful coexistence.

The project aims to emphasise the similarities in the cultures of all of the communities that live in North Macedonia and encourages the audience to engage in a process of mutual learning and enrichment of knowledge related to cultural heritage."

Gold solidus of Priscus Attalus, minted in 409-10 CE. A senator from a long-standing aristocratic family who eventually became praefectus urbi (city prefect) of Rome, Attalus converted to Arian Christianity in 409 and was proclaimed emperor by the similarly Arian Visigoths, in opposition to the Catholic ruler Honorius. He would spend two brief periods in power before Honorius finally defeated and captured him in 416, leading to the last triumphal procession in the Western Roman Empire. (Two of Attalus' fingers were cut off, but he was allowed to live and banished to the Lipari Islands north of Sicily.)

On the obverse, the bust of Attalus, wearing a pearl diadem and a cuirass. On the reverse, the seated figure of Roma, holding a globe atop which Victory perches, surrounded by the inscription INVICTA ROMA AETERNA--a somewhat hollow boast, as Rome itself would be sacked by the Visigoths in 410.

My main goal for 2025 is just to forcibly cram the entirety of the Latin language into my brain once and for all. No more faking it and kinda-sorta understanding and ehhhh I mostly got that and “well I understand that entire page because it’s basically Italian with silly endings but on this next page I’m totally lost.” No. Fuck that. Latin into my bones, THIS YEAR.

Gonna speed-run the rest of LLPSI with a side of filling entire notebooks with repetition exercises for memory, and start Roma Aeterna by summer, push myself through the Fear of Fucking Up to start writing on the Latin discord and On Here (I made more progress in my general comprehension of Latin grammar/composition through one week of attempting to write a few shitposts and lines of fic dialogue than in the entire previous month of dutifully reading the textbook), leap into hubris and start translating the Eclogues from page one, fuck it all, I need to devour this language and be possessed by it. The “method” to learning a language is to use all four faculties at once: listening, reading, writing and speaking. At the same time, ignoring grammar and hoping to just absorb knowledge automatically like a sponge/baby forgets how useful it is to have an adult brain capable of higher reasoning.

I know my younger brain would have had the capacity to do this in a year - I took myself from zero to functionally conversational in Italian in a couple months, but that was ten years ago - and if there’s one way I can fuck this up it’s going to be telling myself I’m not smart enough anymore.

The Vestal Virgins are the most famous look at the Graeco-Roman Goddess cult in practice:

The Vestal Virgins, as the main all-women priesthood to be a major focus of the otherwise men-centric writing and view of the Graeco-Roman world are also among the most important illustrations of the old Goddess cult in practice. As the name notes they were also proof that the idea of sacred chastity did not, in fact, start with the Church. The Church just made it mandatory for everyone all the time.

The Vestal Virgins in the sacred world of the old Classical polytheistic religion had one of the most key roles to play in guarding the sacred space of Roma Aeterna. As a prominent symbol of paganism and its ties to the old Roman state they were also among the first priesthoods abolished by the new Christian world of Constantine and Theodosius.

Their role in real terms was to guard the sacred fire of Vesta, to ensure that it did not go out, and as long as they were a part of the priesthood to remain chaste. Women who were caught not doing so were buried alive and this is recorded under both the Republic and the Empire.
