So you're saying there were some accuracies in the merchandize sold of Hercules in the Disney movie?
Fascinating how modernity and antiquity collide sometimes, isn't it? Greeks usually went with pottery to celebrate their favorite athletes, while the expansion of glass-making (and clear glass) under the Romans meant you get surprisingly modern-seeming pieces like this!
Yeah I'd like to thank you being nearly the sole poster in this community. You find some interesting things to post and always include a link.
Hopefully someday this place will be active even without my contributions!
