Alexander the Great
from Queer at Last
Today we're talking all things Alexander the G(ay)reat! One of the most successful military leaders in history and a figure who continues to fascinate thousands of years later - join us as we cut through the debates around his sexuality like a sword through the Gordian knot… This week's object is a mosaic from Pompeii, thought to date from around 120-100 BCE. Currently at Naples Archaeological Museum, image courtesy of Wikimedia Commons.
