I only got so much energy in the day, man. I try to be at least somewhat precise in the titles so people can look it up if they're lost, but generally I only comment on images if I have some specific knowledge to share.

Ok, don't get me wrong, thank you for your posts!

I will continue to add some context as previously.

It's fine. I do explanations elsewhere, so I understand why it might seem odd, but a lot of the illustrations I post don't much benefit from additional explanation - at least not any I can give - and as they often deal with general themes, are not necessarily intuitive to me as to what subjects do and do not need explaining for the average reader. If someone wants to know more about "Roman soldiers", hell, what do I link them without getting overly specific?

It's considerably more mental effort than "This is the joke" or a link to a museum page. So I just try to specify whatever scant details I know in the title and leave it at that.

J.K. But seriously you always post quality stuff, ty!
