*dashes in just in time to wish Estelanui a happy birthday*
Happy Birthday, dear Francesca! :-)
I hope you are having an enjoyable day full of pleasant happenings. *hugs*
And look - those lovely ladies have come, bearing gifts for you:
This is a detail of the votiv altar stone of the Matronae Aufaniae which was found under the Bonner Minster. It dates from the second half of the second century. (The photo was taken by my hubby, at a visit at the Rheinisches Landesmuseum)
It's such a beautiful image of the triple goddess. :-)
