🪔 For eyes pleasure: a fresco with a banquet scene from the Villa Doria Pamphili Columbarium - a graveyard along the western slopes of the Gianicolo Hill. Found in 1838, the columbarium had more than five hundred lucules. In 1922 the frescoes were removed and re-assembled, now on display in the Museo delle Terme. 📸 me

🪔 This huge red porphyry basin has a circumference of 13 meters - it was likely part of Nero' Domus Aurea Palace in Rome, and the red porphyry the basin was made from was brought from Egypt. It is now in the Round Hall of the Vatican Museums.
🪔 All red porphyry, also called "imperial", was mined at the Mons Pophryites in Egypt, and its transportation was complex and hugely expensive. The stone became a symbol of luxury and power. 📸 me

🪔 For eyes pleasure: This statue depicts the river god Arno and it dates to the time of Hadrian. It was heavily restored during the Renaissance times. Curiously, a small lion's head has been carved on the vase, probably in homage to Pope Leo X Medici (1513-1521). Now in Musei Vaticani. 📸 me
