Delusional

[Marcus Aurelius]

There are providers here that I wish I could have for my private harem.
I would wed them and grant them their every wish. Can you imagine what I would offer them. The stars themselves would bow to their every whim. Scores of concubines would be at their call to please them. Eunuchs would guard every door. Every hall. Her eyes betrayed her lust. Another was jealous but her sister held her arm and calmed her. Yes of course I am delusional but who has the better world?

Marcus, congrats for simply leaving me in speechless envy.

[Marcus Aurelius]

There will always be #1. But I love them all. Our children dance and play. The sun shines on all of them and they grow tall and strong.

I've been following the excavation of the Amphipolis Tomb at the southeast edge of Macedonia. Although well east of Thessaloniki, (former capital of the minor Greek kingdom of Thessaly), the tomb location is considered part of Macedonia.
Suspected to be a family tomb related to either Alexander or his father, Philip, but is not either of their tombs.

[Marcus Aurelius]

Alexander was entombed in a coffin of clear alabaster. Will be a sight to behold.
