It's the Day of Zeus / Jupiter's Day / #Thursday! ⚡

Humourous Roman #mosaic of #Ganymedes and #Zeus as a heron with a sponge on a stick, commony used by the Romans to clean the bum after going to the toilet. But if you know that Ganymedes is Zeus' lover, a different reason for sponging his genitals comes to mind 😏

🏛️ Dated 2nd century CE, discovered in Antiochia ad Cragum, Turkey
