This illustration dates to around 1898 and shows a scene from Assyrian mythology. At right is a winged figure. At left is a winged human-headed bull. Each is a genius, which the Assyrians depicted as bulls with human heads, men with birds' heads, and winged men. While they are not all-powerful deities, they are endowed with super-human powers. They had the power to ward off evil spirits. Here, the symbolism includes the power of these deities to protect the walls and gates of the city. The pince-cone in the right hand of the figure at right would have been filled with holy water and would be used to sprinkle the wate ron visitors - symbolically.

Long Ship with 50 oars from mosaic found near Pozzuoli. Romanwarships (naves longae) derived from Greek galley designs. In the ocean-going fleets, the three main designs were trireme, quadrireme, and quinquereme. During the Republic, the quinquereme was the standardship. After the battle of Actium at the start of the Empire, the trireme became the mainship.

Mantle ("The Paracas Textile") Nasca. Mantle ("The Paracas Textile"), 100-300 C.E. Cotton, camelid fiber, 24 5/8 × 58 11/16 in. (62.5 × 149 cm). This extraordinarily complex mantle, or cloak, is one of the most renowned Andean textiles in the world. It was most likely used as a ceremonial object.
