So many gods, I can't keep them all straight. Had to read it slowly in order not to say Tiberias.
Umm, what's that he is holding?

@ Dina - A cornucopia?

Sorry I can't help this: why is he talking to his cornucopia and so surprised that it is answering him?

Dina said...

LOL This is getting way funny.

VP said...

He is talking to another statue nearby, which will be posted on July 13...

Oh, OK. Now we get it, sort of.
