“millennials and their selfies are so ridiculous, i hate this “me culture”!!” in ancient rome it was perfectly acceptable to have your likeness painstakingly molded into bronze or carved into stone and then to display it in the common room of your house alongside the portraits of your ancestors so that everyone who came in could see it, and today we put these portraits on show in museums for everyone to see as an example of ancient art, but okay
