Hi all
A new finding in Aegae was unravelled- a contruction that exceeds 100 meters (late 4th BC) which, during the reign of Philip the 5th was extensively renovated. On a cup made on the 2nd BC, some lines of a poem were found:
"The rose blooms for only a little while, if its time is over and you search for it you will not find a flower but thorns."
You can see the inscription of the poem (faintly) on the below the opening of the vase.

Nice - but sounds a bit bitter!

Thank you system_1988
That is a good poem for the time of Philip V (and for those of us who are stuck in life!)
