I stumbled across the Kriegerdenkmal im Hofgarten on a business trip to Munich in the 1990s. That's quite different to your examples here, and is answering need in a very different context, and I kept thinking of it as I watched your lecture - it just doesn't fit your narratives, because what it symbolises is so utterly unlike even the Vietnam and 9/11 memorials. I still struggle to describe to myself what I felt on the encounter, despite returning to it in my memory many times since. And it sits in such deep shadow.
I was really excited to watch this then I read your comment and started daydreaming about imperial roman war mermaids and I don't care about memorials anymore pfft
It was telling the C. Brian Rose refers to Christianity as a "mystery cult" (time mark 28:20) that has survived from antiquity. I wonder if Dr. Rose's position on this definition of Christianity is widely shared at the Penn Museum and the University of Pennsylvania.
Hugely appreciated. Thank you
love the lectures
Rome is Rome ! It’s legacy continues through the centuries right into and through ours !

The Vukovar water tower is a good parallel to the destroyed Parthenon.
OMG I read the title as saying Mermaids instead of memorials. xD I clicked so fast. Needless to say I was pretty confused throughout the whole video
