My Columbus and Central Ohio Pics - Page 4

Avian001 · June 21st, 2009, 04:30 AM

Nice pics! Thanks! They have gone a long way toward provoking my curiosity about Columbus.

Being from Minneapolis, I first drove through Columbus about a month ago thinking "why don't more people know about this city???" It looked very nice, and I look forward to stopping by and spending more time there in the near future! My schedule didn't allow me to explore more fully, but on first glance, it certainly looked like a city that offered far more than one would ever guess.

Regarding Pride events (since progressive people should stick together

) If you ever get to Minneapolis, check out the Summer of Pride. Or, Twin Cities Pride Celebrations since it's this week!

Nice pictures of the negihborhoods. Columbus had a lot of nice areas from what I saw when I was there: Victorian Village, Italian Village, German Village (lots of neighborhoods with "village" in their name, aren't there?), Short North, etc.

I'm glad you enjoyed your trip through our fair city. And yeah, I've heard wonderful things about the twin cities and the state in general. How is the German Community there? I hear its very large. I've always said if I left Columbus, I would want to live in a city and state with a large, active German and German-American community. And please come back and visit soon. We like visitors! Auf wiedersehen.

Yeah, I know, odd eh? I'm not sure WHY we have so many "villages". I think German village uses the term "village" because it sort of feel like a small village or town. I mean, its a very unique area and the homes are very different from what you would find in Italian Village, Victorian Village, or Olde town East. Although Italian Village feels just like the Short North. If it wasn't for Sacred Heart and St. John the Baptist, you would never know any Italians lived there. lol

Yeah, I missed the parade but I did go down to get some photos at the festival. I was only there for about an hour though. It was ungodly hot and I was very tired from working that morning (12 a.m. to 12 p.m. Friday and Saturday).

Cornelia Scipionis Africana (born ca. 190 BC - died 100 BC) was the second daughter of Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus, the hero of the Second Punic War, and Aemilia Paulla. She is remembered as a perfect example of a virtuous Roman woman.

Cornelia married Tiberius Gracchus Major, the father of Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus, when he was already in an advanced age. The union proved to be a happy one and together they had 12 children, very unusual for Roman standards. From these only three survived childhood: Sempronia, married to her cousin Publius Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus, and the brothers Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus, who would defy the political institutions of Rome, with their attempts at popular reforms. After her husband's death, she chose to remain a widow, even when the suitor was king Ptolemy VIII Physcon, and set herself to educate her children. Later in her life, Cornelia studied Latin and Greek language and literature. Cornelia always supported Tiberius and Gaius, even when their actions outraged the conservative patrician families in which she was born. After their violent deaths she retired from Rome to a villa in Misenum, but continued to receive guests.

An anecdote, likely invented, demonstrates Cornelia's devotion to and admiration for her sons. When women friends questioned Cornelia about her mode of dress and personal adornment, which was far more simple and understated than was usual for a wealthy Roman woman of her rank and station, Cornelia indicated her two sons and said, "These are my jewels." A large statue on the grounds of the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus, entitled "These Are My Jewels," makes allusion to this story. It is surmounted by a figure of Cornelia, personifying the state of Ohio, with arms wide spread, and arrayed before her are the state's "jewels" - military and political leaders who contributed to the Union Cause during the American Civil War.
Rome worshipped her immaculate virtues and when she died at an advanced age, the city voted for a statue in her honour.
