Na antiga Roma, uma gens era uma família consistindo de indivíduos que partilhassem o mesmo nomen a partir de um antepassado comum. Um ramo de uma gens era chamado de stirps. A gens era uma importante estrutura social em Roma e em toda a Italia durante o periodo da Republica Romana. Grande parte da posiço social dos individuos dependia da geraço a que pertenciam. Certas gens foram classificadas como aristocratas, outras como plebeias; algumas tinham ramos patricios e plebeus. A importancia de ser membro de uma gens declinou consideravelmente nos tempos imperiais, embora o gentilicium continuasse sendo usado e definisse as origens e dinastias dos imperadores romanos.

Pelas tradiçes antigas, as moedas de Siracusa, Tarento, Thurium e outras, eclipsaram de longe, a medida que as obras de arte, as de Atenas e Corintho, e suas peças se tornaram modelos de imitaço para as demais cidades. Os gregos foram os primeiros a embelezar as moedas e transformar as peças de metal em obras de arte. E estranho dizer, no entanto, que as moedas mais gregas eram de estilo rude e arcaico. O elemento da beleza foi introduzido na mesma epoca que sua arquitetura subitamente chegou a maravilhosa perfeiço dos dias de Pericles. O periodo da Alta Arte das moedas surgiu repentinamente e se mostrou simultaneamente em lugares helenicos amplamente separados. As moedas dos antigos estados da Grecia, Atenas, Corinto, Tebas, so aparentemente desinteressantes, e isso parece pouco dizer do ponto de vista artistico. E, quanto as suas cidades, no ha ainda nenhum retrato para representar, tendo o tempo causado muita degradaço. O Parthenon e um monte confuso de ruinas, Corintho desapareceu completamente, e de Boeotia, no restam vestigios de suas cidades. Mas passar sem esse reconhecimento pictorico seria injusto. Em Corintho, Esparta e Boeotia, embora no existam ruinas, especimes maravilhosos da arte antiga foram recuperados pela pa. As moedas gregas anteriores exibiam principalmente cabeças de suas divindades, emblemas religiosos e aluses agonistas, ou representaçes de estatuas comemoradas da antiguidade ha muito perdidas para o mundo. Apos o tempo de Alexandre, as moedas tornaram-se provas interessantes, exibindo, em muitos casos, retratos notaveis, frequentemente os unicos conhecidos de personagens importantes. A historia das moedas gregas antigas pode ser dividida (junto com a maioria das outras formas de arte gregas) em quatro periodos: o arcaico, o classico, o helenistico e o romano. O periodo arcaico se estende desde a introduço da cunhagem de moedas no mundo grego durante o seculo VII a.C. ate as guerras persas em cerca de 480 a.C. O periodo classico começou e durou ate as conquistas de Alexandre, o Grande, por volta de 330 a.C., que iniciaram o periodo helenistico, estendendo-se ate a absorço romana do mundo grego no seculo I a.C. As cidades gregas continuaram a produzir suas proprias moedas por varios seculos sob o dominio romano. As moedas produzidas durante esse periodo so chamadas de moedas provinciais romanas ou moedas imperiais gregas.

Almost nine million people from all over the world flock to the Louvre in Paris every year to see its incomparable art collection. Yet few, if any, are aware of the remarkable history of that location and of the buildings themselves, and how they chronicle the history of Paris itself-a fascinating story that historian James Gardner elegantly tells for the first time.Before the Louvre was a museum, it was a palace, and before that a fortress. But much earlier still, it was a place called le Louvre for reasons unknown. People had inhabited that spot for more than 6,000 years before King Philippe Auguste of France constructed a fortress there in 1191 to protect against English soldiers stationed in Normandy. Two centuries later, Charles V converted the fortress to one of his numerous royal palaces. After Louis XIV moved the royal residence to Versailles in 1682, the Louvre inherited the royal art collection, which then included the Mona Lisa, given to Francis by Leonardo da Vinci; just over a century later, during the French Revolution, the National Assembly established the Louvre as a museum to display the nations treasures. Subsequent leaders of France, from Napoleon to Napoleon III to Francois Mitterand, put their stamp on the museum, expanding it into the extraordinary institution it has become.With expert detail and keen admiration, James Gardner links the Louvres past to its glorious present, and vibrantly portrays how it has been a witness to French history - through the Napoleonic era, the Commune, two World Wars, to this day - and home to a legendary collection whose diverse origins and back stories create a spectacular narrative that rivals the buildings legendary stature.

"The Ideals of the East" is an essential work on Japanese art and esthetics written by Okakura Kakuzo, a co founder of the Tokyo Fine Art School and one of the great 19th-century experts on Asian art and archaeology. The book approaches the subject from a philosophical perspective, exploring the spirit and the spirituality behind the notable eras of Asian music, painting, architecture, textiles, and other realms of artistic expression.This 1904 book that famously declared "Asia is one" was among the first studies in English to reference Zen as it explored the roots of Japanese beauty. Like the authors "The Book of Tea, " this volume emphasised the spiritual ideals of Asia, and especially Japanese art.

The "Book of 50 Pictures" is a remarkable anthology that transcends mere visual art, inviting readers to explore the intricate interplay between imagery and imagination. Employing a minimalist yet evocative literary style, the book presents fifty distinct pictures accompanied by succinct narratives that provoke thought and emotional resonance. This unique format situates the work within a broader context of visual storytelling and associative literature, bridging gaps between genres and encouraging a contemplative engagement with the images that challenge conventional perceptions of art and language. Though the author remains anonymous, the careful curation of imagery suggests a rich background in visual arts or literary studies, allowing for a nuanced exploration of how visual elements can inspire narrative forms. This veil of anonymity fosters a universal connection, highlighting that the experience of interpretation is collective rather than singularAian invitation for every reader to bring their personal history and emotions to the work, thus transforming it into their own. I highly recommend the "Book of 50 Pictures" for readers, artists, and scholars alike, as it stimulates intellectual curiosity and emotional reflection. This text serves as a bridge between seeing and understanding, making it an essential addition to any collection that seeks to celebrate the intersection of art and literature.

Dealing with a complicated watch used to be a rare job for the watch repairer, but with the popularity of the automatic, it is almost commonplace. Furthermore, the increased interest in calendar work, alarm watches, and chronographs will undoubtedly bring more and more complicated work into the workshop. This book deals with complicated work essentially from the repairers point of view. The action of each mechanism is briefly and clearly described because understanding this is essential to proper servicing, repair and testing for functioning. Dismantling and assembly instructions are given, as well as oiling charts and - most important - hints on fault-finding and their rectification. Another essential feature of the book is that it deals with all complicated work - from the relatively simple automatic to the triple-complicated watch with chronograph, calendar and repeater work, and the very complicated clock watch. Exceptional care has been taken in the preparation of diagrams, which have been drawn from actual movements in various stages of assembly, so that the reader can actually work with the book illustrations beside the watch itself. As always with books by Donald de Carle, instructions are easy to follow and there is no reason why anyone well versed in ordinary work and able to use watchmakers tools should not become a specialist in complicated watches and their repair.

The repair of clocks calls for a variety of skills and crafts, few of which can be picked up by bench work alone. In the horological trade, it is technical practice that the prentice hand is first tried out on clocks, before attempting repair work on watches. Clocks have the advantage of possessing sizeable and robust parts and of being easier to handle. But there the advantage for the repairer ends. The sizes, shapes, complications and even the nationalities of clocks appear to be without end. Every movement has detail difference and, naturally, the defects when due for repair, are as varied. In this book, the author has dealt with the usual faults likely to develop in each type of movement in general use; from the lordly grandfather to the humble alarm. All the tools and equipment are described and illustrated, together with the ways of using them. The craftsmans most important and valuable tools of all - his skilful fingers - are shown in use in the clearest manner. As is usual in N.A.G. Press textbooks, the drawings have been specially made from parts under working conditions. A glance through the book will show their usefulness and clarity. Over 400 line drawings are used throughout and the reader is left in no doubt of what he is asked to do in following the authors clearly written technical and practical instructions.

O proprio Voynich afirmou que os escritos continham pequenas anotaçes no grego antigo e datavam o volume como originalmente do seculo XIII . Na carta, com o titulo Praga , 19 de agosto de 1665 (ou 1666 ), Marci afirmou ter herdado o manuscrito medieval de um amigo seu (que mais tarde se tornou um alquimista desconhecido chamado Georg Baresch )e que seu antigo dono, o imperador Rudolf II , o comprou por 600 ducados (uma figura muito alta), acreditando ser o trabalho de Ruggero Bacone .
