Fascinating talk, Mary Beard brings history so skilfully alive.

One of the most respectful historians, I never mind listening to Mary.

Rubens storytelling in such a straightforward painting.... so enriching! Thanks for sharing.

I can't belive it! This is early fan art about Tiberius and Vipsania, before there was even a real fandom of this couple on Tumblr! Thank you Rubens for this little masterpiece ❤

[@yunleung2631]

My favorite fantasy world couple.

Have you looked at contemporary coinage, busts, cameos? Rubens may have used them a sources.

[@athenaartfoundation]

Good point!

But we know the man can't be Tiberius because he doesn't look anything like George Baker. He is clearly more of a David Robb.
