Victor apud Actium, aedificator Pantheonis et aquae Virginis, auctor orbis terrarum depicti. Aedilis cloacas navicula perlustravit. Verba non amat; opera amat.Victor at Actium, builder of the Pantheon and the Aqua Virgo, maker of the great map of the world. As aedile he inspected the sewers by rowing through them. He has no love for words; he loves works.

Concordia parvae res crescunt.

Tange imaginem: marmor in vultum vivum vertitur — a machina ex ipso marmore restitutum.Hover the portrait: the marble turns into a living face, reconstructed by AI from the bust itself.
