Over at The Sync Whole Jim upped an awesome post in relation to The Queen's recent visit to Winnipeg. The post delves into the relationship Jupiter has with Terminus.
The word TERMINAL is derived from the latin word TERMINUS which means A BOUNDARY STONE. It is used to describe THE END OF THE ROAD.
In Rome, Terminus was often equated with Jupiter. In Rome, the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus was said to have been built on top of an older shrine to Terminus. Terminus was often referred to as an aspect of Jupiter referred to as JUPITER TERMINALIS.
July 2 Oz time, I posted this twitpic effort:
The above photo is taken from right out the front of our house. As was tweeted:
The city is building a path along my side of the street. It ends/starts at my place...
The following day after reading the above mentioned Sync Whole post the concrete was laid and I engraved "Jupiter Terminalis" into the last slab right underneath where the sign was. Kids from the neighbourhood had beaten me to it though and there were already hand prints in the concrete when I got there.
Peace
