From rogueclassicism:
ante diem xiv kalendas decembres
- Mercatus — in the wake of the lengthy ludi Plebeii, the Romans needed a few days to restock their cupboards
- ca. 64 A.D. — upside down crucifixion of Peter
- 303 A.D. — martyrdom of Hesychius of Antioch
- 1718 — premiere of Voltaire’s Oedipe in Paris
The Caravaggio of Peter’s execution is amazing. It seems Peter is in charge; he’s the director. “get on with it boys…that’s right, head to the ground…into your hands Lord.”
