#habsburgs
Most people don’t need to be able to explain what FASCES really are. I’m pleased with this photograph from the top of the Gloriette at Schloss Schoenbrunn - the axe inside the bundle of rods has seldom been clearer! Capital and Corporal Punishment, Roman magistrates, etc, etc.
The view FROM the Gloriette of the Palace.
Schloss Schoenbrunn, vista of Roman Ruins in the gardens.
Surprisingly small, yet super complex. The ivory collection in the #kunsthistorischesmuseumwien dates back to the Habsburgs and testifies to the imperial roots of the collection. If you want to know the quick way to spot a Habsburg, pop over to Museumsandstuff.com and search for Habsburg. Spoiler alert ⚠ it’s the underbite that became more and more pronounced as the generations progressed.
