About the Item
An exquisite early 19th-century marble relief medallion, finely crafted to depict the Roman Emperor Claudius in profile. The relief captures Claudius adorned with a laurel wreath, symbolizing his authority and imperial status, and is rendered with remarkable attention to detail. The medallion is circular and features the inscription "CLAUDIVS" in a classic Roman font, elegantly positioned beside the profile. The relief is set in its original gilded wooden frame, which has been preserved over the centuries. The frame showcases a rich, golden patina that enhances the medallion's timeless appeal and adds a sense of grandeur to the piece. Notably, the frame shows signs of age with minor cracking and patina wear, consistent with its historical provenance, which adds to the authenticity and character of the item.
This medallion is not only a beautiful work of neoclassical art but also a distinguished historical artifact that would make an exceptional addition to any collection of classical antiquities or early 19th-century decor.
The diameter without frame is 16 cm and 28.5 cm with the frame.

19th Century Alabaster Grand Tour Sculpture of the Temple Of Vespasian And Titus
Located in Stockholm, SE
This finely carved 19th-century alabaster sculpture is a nice example of Grand Tour artistry, depicting the Temple of Vespasian and Titus in Rome. The base is inscribed "TEMPIO DI VESPASIANO," and the entablature bears the partial inscription "ESTITVER," referencing the Latin word "restituerunt," meaning "they restored," from a 3rd-century inscription commemorating renovations by Emperors Septimius Severus and Caracalla.
The Temple of Vespasian and Titus, located at the western end of the Roman Forum, was initiated by Emperor Titus in 79 AD to honor his deified father, Vespasian. After Titus's death in 81 AD, his brother Domitian completed the temple around 87 AD. Designed in the Corinthian order, the temple featured a hexastyle portico with six columns at the front and was constructed in a constrained space measuring approximately 33 meters in length and 22 meters in width.
