I am delighted to join you in Clydebank today for the launch of this, the latest royal yacht. I hope that this brand-new vessel, like your brand-new queen, will prove to be dependable and constant. Capable of weathering any storm. I now take great pride in naming this ship "Britannia." I wish success to her. And to all who sail in her. ♚

Day 4 (May 11th) ~ Greek mythology / Goddesses (nyo!engport)

Among Creation, there were us

A little explanation about this one! because it took me a lot of research XD.

They are Britannia and Lusitania, goddesses of the land.

I looked for a greek femenine pose which simbolized union above all. For England, I took the real avatar of the country, Britannia, which has a resemblance to Athena. I changed some things and colors, and added celtic simbols and Pict tattoos, to relate her with her ancestors.

For Portugal, I mixed more things: the Seas relationship she has since forever and because her mother, that's why the aquamarine colors. Her crown is made of fish tails and metal anchor; color are silverish related to the moon element. Then, I included my HC that one of her shapes is a marine dragon; that's why she is a mermaid (and we're en May so I've got that prompt too )?. Lavender dress for the national flower, and finally she has grapes as jewelry for her relationship with Dionisus, taken from the myth idea that Lusus, the ancient god - and founder of Portugal's land before Rome, was a son/lover of his (and the sexier part too).

That's all! hope you like it! 8D @engportevents

To appreciate our fathers is not to praise everything they happened to do: and far less to praise everything they failed to destroy. And this moral needs to be enforced touching many modern celebrations of our national dignity and glory.

National Museums Scotland has just announced the extraordinary reconstruction of an 1,800-year-old Roman arm guard. The artifact has been described as “absolutely amazing.”

However, since its initial discovery within the Scottish Borders in 1906, the armor, shattered into over 100 pieces, languished in relative obscurity until experts meticulously reassembled it, much like a jigsaw puzzle.

This brass relic likely adorned a high-ranking Roman soldier, gleaming like gold on his arm. Currently on loan to the British Museum, you can find it at the upcoming exhibition "Legion: Life in the Roman Army" starting February 1, 2024!
