About the Item

Pair of French Porcelain de Paris Gold Urns with Scenes of Roman History, Early 19th Century 13 x 6.5 x 5 inches The base of one urn states “Tibrius Gracchus Ferme Le Temple De Saturne an de Rome 619” referring to Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus, a Roman politician best known for his agrarian reform law entailing the transfer of land from the Roman state and wealthy landowners to poorer citizens. The base of the other urn states “Triomphe de Lucullus Somptuosite an de Rome 689”. In Roman history, "Lucullus' Triumph" typically refers to the triumphal celebration held in Rome in 63 BC by Lucius Licinius Lucullus. This triumph was awarded to him for his significant victories in the East, particularly during the Third Mithridatic War.
