I’ve always found interesting how the Greeks used “C” instead of “Σ” during Roman times. For instance, “ΑΦΡΟC” and “ΒΥΘΟC”, as depicted on the mosaic, should be written as “ΑΦΡΟΣ” and “ΒΥΘΟΣ”. And interesting point to add is that still to this day, there are Orthodox paintings or Church related events in Greece that still do this letter swap.
Clearly the brith has had a nonstandard outcome, since our girl’s face has been vaporized while her cherubs fly upside down in aerial combat.
Can the average turk read and understand what is written on it?
Am I the only one who’s reminded of Botticelli’s Birth of Venus by this?
