Where is this image from? You know it's probably Palermo, but where? The Botanical gardens. But what is it? I can't help you with that, except to observe that it is probably Roman. There was no annotation at the site - and annotating Palermo would be a major expense. But if everyone who visited a site could add their own comments - photos, background information, stories - then the landscape would acquire a richness and dimension previously unimagined. And I would know who the headless figure was and where he came from.

This is Thursday's newsletter - Friday's newsletter will be along some time Saturday. :) p.s. How do you like the addition of images in the newsletter? I have been unsure about whether to add them. Let me know.
