"A mindblowing 1900 year old Roman hologram effect ring.

The bust is a gold microfusion made upon a wax model, using the cera persa (lost wax) technique covered by a quartz crystal rendering the hologram effect. It shows the sophisticated craftsmanship of ancient jewellers. And also the function of jewellery as a precious keepsake.

The young man depicted in the ring is

Carvilius Gemmulus, who died at 18. His femur was fractured in 2 places, also a high percentage of arsenic was found in his hair. The ring was found in the nearby grave of his mother Aebutia Quarta who died some years later.

The luminous effect of the crystal lense gives a mysterious effect to the image of the beloved son. His mother had the ring made to keep his memory alive.

Both well-kept mummies at the Grottaferrata necropolis near Rome, were elaborately covered with garlands of flowers. He was wrapped in a shroud and completely covered with flowers. Large garlands in good condition covered the upper half of his body, one was placed around his head.

She wore a vegetal mantle made up of hundreds of garlands. On her head was placed a well-preserved wig wrapped in a net woven with fine gold thread ending in a braid.

The ring is on display at the Museo Archeologica Nazionale di Palestrina.

Ozymandian world treader: tyrant necropolis

Haunting hulk marches across the desolate planes, keeping the inhuman mighty alive to see visions of the profane, imprisoned, demanded to witness the tortured world they left in their name. Towering beasts stride across the foul-shattered domain; all may see the withered husk they twisted in disdain. As reality crumbles, the foul stay humble, as the treader spreads despair for all that remain.

This 1986 B horror film about a Reincarnated “Satanic Witch” from New Amsterdam, circa 1600’s comes back to revive her cult members by sucking the life force out of people is so ridiculously 80s cheese but I've got to admit that it is highly entertaining, the music is good and Leeanne Baker's sexy biker babe fashion is fantastic!

Passerby, you're walking but you'll lie down here, like me

Just sit and chill near my stone

Remember story or remember about faith

I am at home and you're my guest

Think about yourself
