Marble portrait of Livia
« on: December 01, 2018, 08:29:58 am »
A rare and wonderful marble portrait of the 'first empress of Rome' has been sold a month ago at Christie's Auction. I' m so disappointed because I have been outbid at ( hoping that the moderater will make an exception!) 200000 US $.....  It would have been so nice in my living room…

This would have embarrassed my living room; in fact my entire house.  Lovely item though.
I wouldn't join any club that would have me as a member!
