Analysis of inscription (RIB 1713) Vindolanda Inscription (RIB 1713) relates to a sandstone funerary headstone used as a building-stone found amongst debris associated with the east gate of Vindolanda fort in 1818 commemorating the life of Cornelius Victor (RIB 1713, Funerary inscription for Cornelius Victor, 2014). There is a degree of ambiguity in relation to his military position as a senior centurion. Victor is listed on the inscription as a singularis consularis ‘governor 's bodyguard’ either mounted (eques) or infantry (pedes), seconded from an auxiliary unit; he also served as a courier and special emissary (Glossary of military terms, 2014). If indeed he was a special emissary it supports the argument of a senior centurions’ position.…
❚❚❚❚❚ 1 / DAY 141 / POINT A / LADY, RUNNING DOWN TO THE RIPTIDE [ As Natasha freefalls, she inhales a familiar rush.

Waking after such terrifying events, Rainsford was astonished to find Zaroff gone, upon looking through the window he saw that the dogs had dragged him off, that’s when he knew he had to get off of that terrible island. Quickly, he thought over all that had happened over the past few days on the island with General Zaroff. He even puzzled with the idea of how he survived the extraordinary trials he went through. “How will I ever find Whitney?” thought Rainsford as he stumbled around the chateau in a daze. “Perhaps I can swim to Haiti, I should be close enough and Johnson lives around there.”…
After pre-reading the memoir, I now know that the writer, Olga Lengyel, is telling a horrific true story. A story that she herself experienced in the concentration camp at Auschwitz and Birkenau. The memoir paints a picture of a nightmare that the writer had to live through without being able to wake up. The cover of the book seems to be a picture of the concentration camp.…
Leonardo da Vinci’s “Virgin of the Rocks” and Mary Cassatt’s “After the Bath” are two pieces of art I will be comparing and contrasting. [HELP] “Virgin of the Rocks”, also known as, “Madonna of the Rocks” are two pieces of art composed by Leonardo da Vinci, who was a Renaissance artist. They were created in return for a commission by the Fraternity of Immaculate Conception on April 25th, 1483.

The Louvre version is the first one that was created solely by Leonardo around 1483-1486.…
The photograph of Patrick Joseph Donahue’s marbled, gray headstone was captured at the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in the outskirts of Elwood, Illinois. His specific headstone stands beside and in front of other war veterans in the national cemetery as together they exemplify the dedication, impact, and commitment that these men and women display for the United States of America. The Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery stands as home to nearly half a million veterans who served in wars present and past. Few of these many veterans can be seen behind the gravesite of the United States Marine Corps veteran. The identical, marbled headstones appear to be neatly aligned in horizontal and diagonal rows to duplicate the endless lines of marching soldiers in uniform.…

Stillwater, Oklahoma is a modest college town that is home to tens of thousands of people. For the entire population, there resides only a single, small art museum. The building is currently located in a relatively low-traffic area and is not a grand structure. This causes the museum to easily be overlooked by the community's residents. Stillwater desperately needs a large building to house the artisanal works that circulate through the university and the town.…
