| Frieze of acanthus spirals with sphinxes in the Boiler Room of the Capitoline Museums in the former Giovanni Montemartini Thermoelectric Centre in Rome Italy. The frieze dates from the early Augustan period and origins from the Gardens of Sallust a residential complex, previously owned by Caesar, then by the historian Sallust. The residence became part of the imperial property in 20 AD, and was developed in what is now the Ludovisi zone in Rome. The frieze of acanthus spirals with sphinxes can be related to Augustusââ¬â¢ victory at Actium over Cleopatra and Antonius. |
