The Milestone Column in the Roman Forum Ceramic Tile

"Colvmna Miliaria in Foro Roman" by Giacomo Lauro Ceramic Tile would make a delightful gift for any lover of Rome or history. Series: Antiquae Urbis Splendor (Rome, first issued 1612; later printings throughout the 17th century) Subject: The Milliarium Aureum (Golden Milestone) set up by Augustus in the Roman Forum ca. 20 BCE; the symbolic point from which distances on Rome's road network were reckoned. Design: Lauro centers the reconstructed milestone on a pedestal flanked by costumed figures labeled as peoples of the world (e.g., Turca, Persa, Lapponis, Danu, Sina, Tartari, Arabus, Anglus, Moschus; below: Germanus, Gallus, Hispanus, Polonus, and a Romanus senator). The long Latin caption explains the column's significance as the measure of all roads leading to Rome and exalts the city's centrality.
