Gaius Octavian, honoured
by the Roman Senate with the name Augustus, was the driving
force behind the cultural revival of epoch that followed
numerous years of war. By means of cunning tactical moves,
strategic liaisons with powerful Romans and deliberate promotion
of the arts, Octavian created an elaborate network of culture.
Because of his support for the construction of splendid
public buildings, which made Rome a city of marble and a
powerhouse of artistic and intellectual endeavour, his name
is forever connected with the heyday of the Romain Empire.
The fascinating spider's
web design of the Patron of Art Edition Octavian is adapted
from a design typical of the 1920's and also recalls the
empreror's elaborately woven network of power. In the middle
of this web of delicate 925 sterling silver threads, which
covers the gleaming black barrel and precious resin cap,
sits an artistically shaped, stylised spider. The hand-worked
rhodium-plated nib in 18-carat gold also bears a delicately
engraved spider.
Octavian - Caesar's
adopted son and heir - was not just a resolute military
commander and a wise politician. He was also responsible
for weaving a famous literary web involving the greatest
poets of ancient Rome.
The elaborate spider's web made of sterling silver that
decorates the body of this Limited Edition symbolises the
influence of the most powerful patron of the arts in the
ancient world. A spider motif graces the nib of this exclusive
and sophisticated writing instrument.
