hello!! I am that anon from the water ask! (also the same anon who wanted to burrow into the ground, actually!) (sorry in advance for all the links by the way…! i cannot send images through anon orz)

I personally haven’t done a lot of reading on whatever happened to the Mausoleum and its ashes in the later centuries, but from what I’ve seen, the main theory (though only a theory….) is destruction by the Visigoths…unfortunately no one (I’ve read) seems to have a super clear idea of what happened! Mostly due to an absence of concrete evidence (But if I come across anything more solid in future I will send it your way!)

OH that bit from Suetonius! Even before looking it up I was guessing whether it would be the Sunbathing Baby anecdote haha…..and ashfjfkl your sun-moon idea of the statues in the Pantheon is brilliant…

On the Pantheon, I also think it’s really interesting that it was built right opposite the Mausoleum of Augustus….(on one hand there is definitely the imperial image-making component but)…there is some sort of connection to be made (in Vibes *waves hands around due to lack of words*) between the invitation to enshrine someone in the heavens, and the material/mortal assurance of setting someone’s ashes in a place to rest for eternity (perhaps?) next to where you’ll be in future…

OHhHh the aqua virgo panel,,!! I love them so much….him in action….

Not very related but here are two other (less ancient) non-water related agrippas for your viewing pleasure…

This is from the facade of Gürzenich in Cologne! Made in the medieval period and thus looking very…medieval…as well

-> the pair on the outside of the Cologne City Hall!

(Glad to hear that you enjoyed the article btw!)

OH YOURE SO RIGHT. ENSHRINING IN THE HEAVENS AND LAYING TO REST FOR ETERNITY. i cant put it into words properly either but. something something memory and genius and legacy. you protected me while you were alive and now i will protect what remains of you in death OR i will assure you will continue to defend me even after the end and you are not allowed to leave my side. idk.

thank you for the agrippas! (agrippas? agrippae? agrippi?) the cologne city hall ones are so silly...... they are just standing there......... the medieval one is cool as shit also. agrippa in full armour!!!! unstoppable (more than he already was, anyway-)

yesyes the article was awesome!! in exchange i offer this one, which i have been thinking about a lot. he was pliny's blorbo... (it also talks about his 'excessive servitude' to augustus - i've seen that phrase translated a lot of different ways but excessive servitude is. yyheah. yeah. owie.)

Gürzenich (April 2023)

[germanpostwarmodern]

With some 200 individual church designs Hans Schilling (1921-2009) was one of the most productive church architects in postwar Germany. Born and raised in Cologne Schilling spent most of his life in the cathedral city and contributed a number of high profile buildings to the architectural face of it: the church Neu St. Alban, the Maternushaus and the Neumarktpassage are only three examples of Schilling’s extensive architectural work that went well beyond religious architecture. The beginning of his career is closely related to another crucial figure of Cologne’s architecture, namely Karl Band whose office Schilling entered as a draftsman apprentice at the age of 16. After WWII and before going independent in 1955 Schilling soon became Band’s office supervisor and was closely involved in the reconstruction of the Gürzenich alongside his principal and Rudolf Schwarz. With both architects Schilling later shared a decided objectivity and sensibility to context that lended his buildings a great naturalness within the grown context of an old city structure.

In 2001 Schilling published a very personal retrospective of his oeuvre that he explicitly dedicated to his children and grandchildren: simply titled „Hans Schilling. Architektur 1945-2000“ it collects a large number of projects, chronologically structured along typologies and briefly annotated with statements by the architect. Prominently featured are of course his many churches: in this context the previously mentioned Neu St. Alban takes on a key role as it served as model for later churches, a kind of architectural matrix that actually enabled Schilling to design the massive number of churches he ultimately realized. Each typological chapter is introduced by a reflective essay in which the architects reflects on his architectural developments, ideas and difficulties. In this way the book takes on the character of a legacy, honest but also proud of what has been achieved.
