Venus was a Roman goddess principally
associated with love, beauty and fertility, who played a key role in many Roman
religious festivals and myths. From the third century BC, the increasing
Hellenization of Roman upper classes identified her as the equivalent of the
Greek goddess Aphrodite.



Her cult began in Ardea and Lavinium, Latium. On August 15, 293 BC, her oldest
known temple was dedicated, and August 18 became a festival called the Vinalia
Rustica. After Rome's defeat at the Battle of Lake Trasimene in the opening
episodes of the Second Punic War, the Sibylline oracle recommended the
importation of the Sicillian Venus of Eryx; a temple to her was dedicated on the
Capitoline Hill in 217 BC: a second temple to her was dedicated in 181 BC.



Venus seems to have played a part in household or private religion of some
Romans. Julius Caesar claimed her as an ancestor (Venus Genetrix); possibly a
long-standing family tradition, certainly one adopted as such by his heir
Augustus. Venus statuettes have been found in quite ordinary household shrines (lararia).
In fiction, Petronius places one among the Lares of the freedman Trimalchio's
household shrine.





Julia Cornelia Salonina (d. 268, Mediolanum
) was an Augusta , wife of Roman Emperor Gallienus and mother of Valerian II ,
Saloninus , and Marinianus .



Julia Cornelia Salonina's origin is unknown. According to a modern theory, she
was born of Greek origin in Bithynia , then part of the province of Bithynia et
Pontus , Asia Minor . However, there exists some scepticism on that. She was
married to Gallienus about ten years before his accession to the throne. When
her husband became joint-emperor with his father Valerian in 253, Cornelia
Salonina was named Augusta.



Cornelia was the mother of three princes, Valerian II , Saloninus and Marinianus
. Her fate , a fter the murder of Gallienus, during the siege of Mediolanum in
268, is unknown. It is likely that either her life was spared or the she was
executed together with other members of her family, at the orders of the Senate
of Rome.



Her name is reported on coins with Latin legend as Cornelia Salonina; however,
from the Greek coinage come the names Iulia Cornelia Salonina, Publia Licinia
Cornelia Salonina, and Salonina Chrysogona (attribute that means "begotten of
gold").

Great shelves at an even better price
Color: Brown, Size: 15.7in, Color: Brown, Size: 15.7in
These shelves are great quality. Easy to hang and come with all the hardware you need. No matter what type of wall you are hanging them on. Saved me a bunch of space. Gave me a place to place some of my books without having to take up floor space with a bookshelf. Light weight material with a durable quality. Stable for lots of things. Fits my space needs

Beautiful shelves upscaled my living room
Color: Brown, Size: 35.5in
Love these! They are pretty and look expensive on my walls. I like them so much I bought a second set for my bedroom. I used these in a corner to create a gallery wall effect and it’s beautiful. They were super easy to put up, they are very light weight and I’m not sure how much they can hold when properly installed but they seem to be able to be stable and carry a decent amount of weight as mine are used as a gallery wall and are holding tons of photo frames. These aren’t adjustable once they are up so be sure about where you want them placed, they definitely upscaled my living room and decluttered my walls. I get tons of compliments when I have guests!

Very nice shelves
Color: Black, Size: 15.7in
These shelves look so good. I used them to hold my pop figures and it put together my room very nicely. It was good for the price as well with how many it came with and the quality of the shelves. If you need more space then you can put the shelves together side by side to have more room.
