Titus Flavius Caesar Vespasian Augustus (in Latin: Titus Flavius Caesar Vespasianus Augustus; in the epigraphs: IMP•T•CAESAR•VESPASIANUS•AVG•PON•M•TR•POT[1]; Rome, 30 December 39 – Aquae Cutiliae, 13 September 81, better known simply as Titus, was a Roman emperor, belonging to the Flavian dynasty, and reigned for just over two years from 79 to 81, the year of his death. Before ascending the throne, Titus was an able and esteemed general who distinguished himself for the repression of the rebellion in Judea in 70, during which the second temple in Jerusalem was destroyed. He was considered a good emperor by Tacitus and other contemporary historians; he is known for his program of public works in Rome and for his generosity in rescuing the population following two disastrous events: the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 and the fire in Rome in 80. Famous is the definition that the historian Suetonius gave of him: "Amor ac deliciae generis humani. » « Love and delight of mankind. » Titus' family, the gens Flavia, belonged to that Italian nobility which, in the first half of the first century, was gradually replacing the more ancient Roman aristocracy, weakened by the decades of civil wars fought in the first century BC. The Flavians, in fact, were not of noble origins, but they managed, within just three generations, to rise from humble origins to the honor of the imperial purple. Tito's paternal great-grandfather, Tito Flavio Petrone from Rieti, had fought as a centurion evocatus in the army of Gnaeus Pompey the Great during the civil war of 49-45 BC, fighting in the battle of Farsalo and fleeing after the defeat of the Pompeians; he was pardoned by Cesare and became tax collector...

The holy water of "San Clemente in Rome" end 19th century Hand made faithful reproduction with or without the coat of arms of the base made in 3 pieces. Italy Measures: height 150cm diameter 80cm width: 80 cm The Basilica of Saint Clement Lateran is a complex of buildings in Rome, Italy centered around a Catholic church dedicated to Pope Clement I. The site is notable for being an archaeological record of early Rome's religious, political, and architectural history. from the Christian era to the Middle Ages. The old church was transformed over the centuries from a private home that was the site of clandestine Christian worship in the first century to a grand public basilica in the sixth century, reflecting the growing legitimacy and power of the emerging Catholic church. The house was originally owned by a Christian consul and martyr, Tito Flavio Clemente, who was one of the first Roman senators to convert to Christianity. He allowed his house to be used as a secret meeting place for his fellow Christians, which religion was then prohibited. There is evidence of a pagan cult at the site. In the 2nd century members of a Mithraist cult built a small temple dedicated to Mithras in an insula, or apartment complex, on the site. This temple, used for initiation rituals, lasted until around the end of the 3rd century. Excavations in the 1860s revealed the first forgotten basilica underlying the medieval one. In the late 4th or early 5th century, after Christianity had become the official religion of Rome, the small church was enlarged, acquiring the neighboring insula and other nearby buildings; the architects began to work on the complex of rooms and patios, building a central nave on the site of the previous church, and an apse on the previous mithraeum. The new church was dedicated to Pope Clement I, a first-century Christian convert and a contemporary of Titus Flavius Clement. Restorations were undertaken in the 9th century and around 1080-99.1 Apart from those in the Church of Santa Maria Antiqua, the most extensive collection of wall paintings from the early Middle Ages are those found in the lower basilica of San Clemente. Over the following centuries, San Clemente became a "beacon" for church artists and sculptors, benefiting from the generosity of the Byzantine Empire. Currently, it is one of the most richly decorated churches in Rome. The last great event that occurred in the lower basilica was the election in 1099 of Cardinal Rainerius of San Clemente as Pope Paschal II. The current basilica was rebuilt in a campaign by Cardinal Anastasius, c. 1099-h. 1120, after the original church was burned to the ground during the Norman sack...

Goldscheider Manufactory and Majolica Factory (German: Goldscheider'sche Porzellan-Manufactur und Majolica-Fabrik, (now) Goldscheider Keramik) is an Austrian ceramic manufactory. In 1885, Friedrich Goldscheider came from the small Bohemian city of Pilsen to Vienna and founded the Goldscheider Manufactory and Majolica Factory. It became one of the most influential ceramic manufactories of terracotta, faience and bronze objects in Austria with subsidiaries in Paris, Leipzig and Florence. For over half a century Goldscheider created masterpieces of historical revivalism, Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) and Art Deco. Famous artists such as Josef Lorenzl, Stefan Dakon, Ida Meisinger and the two perhaps best known Austrian ceramic artists Michael Powolny and Vally Wieselthier worked for Goldscheider. Several of the artists who worked for Goldscheider also worked for other Viennese studios, such as Augarten, Keramos or for the German brands Rosenthal and Meissen. The Goldscheider family emigrated in 1938 to United Kingdom and USA. Walter Goldscheider startet a new factory in Trenton, New Jersey and returned to Vienna in 1950. Marcel Goldscheider went to Stoke-on-Trent and produced figurative ceramics for Myott and opened his own studio in the 1950s in Hanley. Both brothers died in the early 1960s. More than 10,000 different models were created over a period of three generations.
