It's the Day of Selene / Luna's Day / #Monday! 🌛
"Selene (the #Moon) at her full and all the signs with which heaven is crowned. Greetings, all you immortal gods everlasting and immortal goddesses!"
Greek Lyric V Anonymous, Fragments 937, Inscription from the shrine of Askle…

Reddish marble carved votive relief of Selene: a female bust to the front in an arched niche, draped in a sleeved chiton, and with her hair parted in the middle and brought down over her ears, nose now missing, surrounded by a crescent on her head, seven stars in the field around and the signs of the zodiac in low relief; inscribed beneath with an unitelligible Gnostic formula and noted in the catalogue that from its position the inscription appears to have been an afterthought.
