Italian Grand Tour Alabaster Model the Roman Forum Temple of Vespasian
About the Item
Italian Grand Tour model of the ancient Temple of Vespasian located in the Roman Forum, Rome. Carved from alabaster, this is a handsome example of a souvenir carving which would have been collected by a European or American sophisticate making a Grand Tour of the ancient sites of Italy. This wonderful architectural miniature is evocative of another time and place.
Roma Templo Di Vespasiano' etched into the black marble base.
It has been drilled to be wired, not the first time I have owned one of these that had been mounted as a lamp.
The Temple of Vespasian and Titus is located in Rome at the western end of the Roman Forum between the Temple of Concordia and the Temple of Saturn. It is dedicated to the deified Emperor Vespasian and his son, the Emperor Titus. It was begun by Titus in 79 AD after Vespasian's death and Titus's succession. Titus’ brother, Domitian, completed and dedicated the temple to Titus and Vespasian in approximately 87 AD.
