OJ. Rome, 1960. Official torch. "Giochi della XVII Olympia - Lot 350
OJ. Rome, 1960. Official torch. "Giochi della XVII Olympiada" and rings, a beautiful example of this reconstruction of an ancient torch from Etruscan ceramic patterns by Professor Maiure, and his team. In bronze-aluminium. N°446, Me Curtisa Bologna. H: 39,5, diam bottom: 4, guard: 11. Small traces of blows on the edges and the hearth. Here, we really find the roots of the ancient Games, and alas of Nero, who would have won the chariot race in 67, before being erased from the tablets. In Rome, Cassius Clay (light heavyweight), Herb Elliott, Jazy, Bikila and the flamboyant chronicles of Antoine Blondin remain etched in stone.
