A little behind-the-scenes as I prepare for an upcoming open house. 🏡✨

There’s something special about getting a home ready to welcome new people, imagining the possibilities, and helping someone find a place to call their own.

If you’re house hunting in the Phoenix area, I’d love to see you there. More details coming soon!

Roman Wedding

Picture 1:
"Ubi tu Gaius, ego Gaia" - "Wherever you are Gaius, I am Gaia"
These were the words of the bride.
Her husband would answer : "Ubi to Gaia, Ego Gaius" (Wherever you are Gaia, I am Gaius).
Even in Roman times, the exact meaning was not clear.

Picture 2:
The bride usually wore a red or yellow veil called the flammeum.
The boy is holding two torches, symbol of marriage.

Memento Mori
(Remember that you have to die)

The expression originates from the thinkers of ancient times.
Seneca’s writings are full of reflection on mortality.

Picture 1:
Mosaic (from Pompeii)
The axis of the lead is the death (the skull), under a butterfly (the soul) balanced on a wheel (Fortune).
Opposed are the symbols of poverty (right side) and wealh (left side).

Omnia mutantur, nihil interit (Ovid)
("Everything changes, nothing dies")

Picture 2:
That Latin phrase can be found in Book 15, line 165 of Ovid's "Metamorphoses", which is the final book of the work. The title "Metamorphoses" comes from the ancient Greek word μεταμορφώσεις , meaning "transformation". Verses 60-478 of this book are about the teachings of Pythagoras.

➡️➡️➡️ VIDEO at Youtube "Verbis Latinis" about Ovid's Metamorphoses

Picture 3:
Pythagoras ist best known for the Pythagorean theorem - Memories of math!

Picture 4:
But Pythagoras was a famous Greek philosopher. He taught the transmigration of the soul after death into a new body.
