This is me, preparing for an evening of copyediting articles for The Pomegranate: The International Journal of Pagan Studies.

There is in fact a small shrine within arm’s length of my desktop computer, but I usually don’t have so many open flames on it.

This image of the Roman official (?) comes from a huge set of photos of Celtic Gaulish and Roman re-enactors, which you can see here if you use Facebook.

The costuming and sets are the best I have ever seen, outside of HBO’s Rome miniseries, of blessed memory (but still streamable).
