There are lots of statue bases honoring Julian, but practically no statues. This one from Aphrodisias, hypothetically tied to the accompanying base, probably once had a bust of Julian. But the head was later changed to Theodosius

#Apricat after spending most of her life on the streets, inhales her food. She could finish her meal in 20 seconds. Fortunately, she hasn't ended up puking yet, but I needed to slow her down. So, I created a slow food feeder with an ice cube tray.
It is working like a charm. She complained initially, annoyed that she had to work for her food, but at least she know that's 3 minutes to finish her food instead of 39 seconds!

I feel like a genius.

Well, dang. I'm not a lawyer, but it seems to me the "perpetual, worldwide" etc license they claim MIGHT just be the standard thing services need to deliver your stuff to the folks you want to deliver it to using the service, but the claim of the right to use our data for AI/machine learning language adds another unpleasant complication/twist.

Then there's this statue, identified in just about every book and website as a statue of Julian. But it's not! The beard, the Greek mantle, the scroll and the diadem led most interpreters to see Julian but in the 90s it was dated to the 2nd c. & identified as a pagan priest.

There should have been at least one very short, undramatic movie in which all the folks with authority listen to Jeff Goldblum's character's expertise and don't Do The Painfully-Obvious World-Ending-Thing.
