The National Archeaological Museum of Aquileia: The Forms of Memory
This well planned video provides an introduction to the National Archaeological Museum of Aquileia one of the most important structures in Italy. It begins with the history of the ancient Roman colony of Aquileia in 181 BC descrbing the distant roots; forms of memory of a past in which one can recognize the present.The National Archaeological Museum of Aquileia:At the end of the last century the rich archaeological material of Aquileia from both civic and private collections was housed in the Faraone-Cassis Villa. The villa currently used for the museum was renovated at the end of the 1950s. The display is based on antiquarian criteria as the collections lack information on provenance. On the ground floor are displayed the collections of sculpture. The floors are decorated with black-and-white mosaics from buildings and houses of ancient Aquileia capital of the X Regio Venetia et Histria and an important centre along the Roman road network. Room I displays the most important examples of the Roman portraiture at Aquileia in chronological order. Particularly noteworthy is the well-known Late-Republican head of an old man lively and realistic. Along the rear wall can be seen the frieze representing the ceremony of tracing the furrow for the foundation of the town the plaque of L. Manlio Acidino one of the magistrates who founded the colony in 181 BC and on the right the ex-voto for the victory of the emperors against the usurper Maximinus the Thracian who besieged Aquileia in 238 AD. Room II are on display the cultured statuary and funerary statues primarily from the cemeteries beyond the city walls. Among significant items on display are the big statue of Emperor Claudius from the circus area the ‘navarca’ a large funerary statue of type and a little head of a young man crowned with ivy. Room III displays the funerary reliefs including several of local production belonging to plebeian and provincial individuals with lively representations of their professions. Imperial Attic sarophagi of which Aquileia was one of the most important import centres are also on display.Room IV is dedicated to religious statues. There are Roman copies of Classical and Hellenistic originals a headless replica of the Medicea Venus and reliefs and epigraphs dedicated to various deities. On the second floor Room V displays Aquileia’s rich collection of carved gems which documents the role of the town as a production centre attested from the II century BC to the III AD. The vast cameo collection includes specimens with portraits of the Iulian-Claudian dynasty while the very rich collection of worked ambers includes examples from funerary contexts.Room VI is dedicated to Egyptian or Orientalising objects of the Roman world and to Palaeo-Christian objects; remarkable is a Late Roman silver helmet. Room VII are on display pottery lamps arranged according to typology and votive and funerary items. Room VIII is dedicated to bronze objects with mirrors strigili votive and domestic small bronzes appliques of furniture and Late Roman and early Medieval fibulae including the exceptional bronze chandelier with Palaeo-Christian symbols IV century AD. Room IX displays glass objects preeminent in the economy of Roman Aquileia which constituted major centre of glass production and export. Finally the two rooms on the second floor are reserved for temporary exhibitions and for the rich numismatic section as the city of Aquileia had its own mint. Within the external porticoes can be seen items of lapidary while mosaics some of these very famous from the excavation of Roman houses have been inserted in the floor. There are also architectonic decorations of public buildings funerary votive and civil epigraphs funerary monuments of Q. Etuvius Capreolus and the family of the Statii. Between the mosaics: the asarotos oikos non-swept floor the rape of Europa against a blue background athletes and the triumph of Neptune and Amphitrite from the Grandi Terme. Since 1988 the museum houses a small naval section where the Roman ship of Monfalcone is on display.The museum at the end of the self-guided tour holds a fascinating collection of artifacts from the ruins including statues jewelry and a room full of representations of the trades of the deceased.

Madden, Frederick
Privy Purse Expenses of the Princess Mary Daughter of King Henry The Eighth Afterwards Queen Mary: With A Memoir of the Princess and Notes. December 1536 to December 1544
London: William Pickering 1831. very scarce in the original publisher's plain unembossed cloth binding with the faded and very aged original paper spine label extant and clearly readable; binding with commercial book cloth originally perfected in Britain and first used by William Pickering in 1827 was a process in the evolution of the publishing industry in England and America that was so new in 1831 that blind-embossing and embossing in gilt and other colors had not yet become a common practice hence the use of the paper label spine title and plain unadorned boards; the sizing is holding up well on this copy with some evidence of the underlying glue showing through the boards with the characteristic purplish tinge and the spine is sun-faded and worn in many places particularly at the extremities; boards edges and corners are worn and frayed; a remarkably tight copy with the original end papers; bright clear well-preserved laid paper text block with only light foxing and slight age discoloration; British booksellers shiny modern gilt sticker affixed to the lower corner of the fep; the works of William Pickering are printed on the page immediately following the ffep and unfortunately the entry concerning this title appears to have been neatly cut out - perhaps to use as an early catalog entry many of the leaves throughout the text block are uncut at the top edge; 285pp. including index and notes; printed by William Clowes London; this is a copy that may only be appreciated by discriminating collectors of the earliest commercial cloth bindings and shows the evolution from full-leather to full-cloth after which books became more easily mass-produced and more affordable; a plainly dressed but evolutionary book by the Assistant Keeper of the Manuscripts in the British Museum; this copy should NOT be re-bound and must be stored out of the sunlight in a humidity and temperature-controlled climate. Keynes p.65. Limited First Edition. Original Cloth. Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hard Cover. William Pickering Hardcover
