Honey Tiber

Materials: plaster, paint, false gold-leaf, mirror, honey.

The river Tiber was an essential trading route for the ancient Romans; it was a stream of their own corrupt sugar.

Ponte Sublicio — here depicted as a sculpture of a bridge going over a honey-covered mirror, representing the river Tiber — was the first bridge to be constructed on the ancient roman waterway. Ponte Sublicio was constructed under Re Anco Marzio, in the VII century B.C. in proximity of l’Isola Tiberina.
