Mellerstain House. Built by Robert Adam in 1770. The house was actually completed in 1790. It is famous for its exquisite Adam designed ceilings and frescos which are largely copied from existing Roman designs in among places such as The Emperor Diocletian's palace in Split. Adam was much inspired by classical architectural design in Italy and elsewhere.
The terraces were added by Reginald Blomfield in 1910.
This bronze statue of Gaius Marius stands in the small piazza of his home town Arpino. Gaius was elected Consul of Rome seven times. Reformed the army of Rome into a streamlined fighting force. Defeated the Teutons and Cimbri in the North, taking some 200.000 prisoners, and defeated the North African/Carthiginian leader Jugurtha in the South. He was one of the founding fathers of the Roman Empire. He took his nephew Julius Caesar under his wing and taught him the art of warfare. He was also a priest of the temple of Jupiter and a renowned magican.
This alabaster statue of a Caberi has been imported from Greece or elsewhere in Roman times. It is one of a pair that you can see in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele. They stand like sentries on either side of a doorway to nowhere that is covered in Astrological signs and latin inscriptions
These figures are of the Caberii, a race of dwarves who inhabited the isle of Samathrace in the Aegean. The Caberii instructed the Princes of Greece in the "Mysteries". The doorway is covered in astrological signs and latin inscriptions. It was probably used in certain rituals. Interestingly these objects are next to Gaius Marius's monument. Gaius was a well known magican and priest of the temple of Jupiter in his day, as well as being one of Rome's most successful generals. I suspect that he probably brought the Dwarves to Rome, and created the doorway. All these objects were found in the alchemical laboratory of Guissepe Fransisco Borri, when he died having been incarcerated by the Pope in a damp cell for declaring himself "The Second Coming". The Marquis of Palumboro - a devotee of Borri's who found these things set them up in the wall of his garden on the street side with a notice requesting that anyone who could make any sense of the inscriptions should contact him. No one ever did!!
