Lion eats St Ignatius FIRST Roman CATHOLIC bronze ICON 117AD found Leicester2021

Description: Unique opportunity -probably of interest particularly to those living in the Vatican;- for sale is this copyright (comprising all the words below and related ideas, written, film, media, artwork or music (with the exception of the Wikipedia note) and not including the copper alloy artefact shown or its' image as described in the Journal Britannia ("At Death's Door: A Scene of Damnatio ad Bestias on a Key Handle from Leicester 'Britannia 9 Aug 2021") ( an academic paper produced by Cambridge University press which together with the artefact's discoverers effectively re-buried the 'Icon', through an incorrect description, and a paper which the world's press and media immediately spread globally in 2021). Thus in contradistinction to this descfription; the "Icon" is defined as such and seen for the first time here - resurrected in the present copyright from it's burial by archaeologists in 2021 in the above Cambridge University Journal and is returned here to it's primacy as a pillar of the prehistory of the Christian and Catholic religion. (please also see our revelation of the true 'Battle of Hastings' and the origin of 'English' in 2 of our other listings derived from our own discovery of related archeological finds, which like this copyright also re-write history on a grande scale) (noting that the present copyright is an archaeological find which we uncovered from it's re-burial) All the rights to books, media, films and song derived from this unique idea are copyright, and included. This idea is in contradistinction to the idea presented in the above journal that the artefact there described is evidence of Roman barbarity acted out in Britain and has no specific connection to Ignatius of Antioch. No connection to Ignatius is previously, to the present copyright, made in the description of the artefact. Nor is it's specific importance and physical connection to Christianity elsewhere previously described.If one has any doubts about the value of this copyright consider that Ignatius was the first to apply the terms 'Catholic' and 'Christianity' to religion. Thus one could argue that Catholicism would not exist without him. And this artefact is the very first depiction of Ignatius of Antioch. One might consider what a contemporary bronze of Jesus on the cross, produced at the site of his execution might be worth.......this is next best and perhaps only produced a hundred years later."Wherever the bishop appears, there let the people be, even as wheresoever Christ Jesus is, there is the Catholic Church."~St. IgnatiusIgnatius' "Epistle to the Smyrnaeans" (written around 100AD) is the first recorded instance of the use of the word "Catholic". Thus the artefact shown above, found whilst excavating a Roman villa in Leicester, UK in 2021, is in fact a Christian Icon which strongly underpins the Christian religion and it's spread throughout and to the limit of the then known world in c117AD. (and to the rest of the world subsequently). Especially because of the situation, context, in which the above 'Icon' was found and it's time of production. This is your chance to own it's reproduction in this context. i.e. as a depiction of (St).Ignatius (of Antioch) or more generally as a representation of the Christian religion or even more generally as a specific religion of any kind related to a man eaten by a lion) (note also that the child is holding an 'orb' (indicating that by Ignatius' martyrdom, Christians would inherit the world (globe) (by analogy, and syncretist with the globe of Jupiter) (and possibly that the 'globe' is used as a metaphor for a 'sphere of human existence' - before it was realised that the world was in fact spheroidal)(and also in Ignatius' own words, those that follow him will become disciples ("Nunc incipio discipulus esse" 'Now begin to be a disciple') - indeed and importantly, perhaps the first indication that it was known that the world was a sphere or globe, even in metaphor (rather than flat))); and as such is the first representation of the orb in the Christian religion - perhaps syncretist with respect to the pagan 'orb' (of Jupiter for example) and being particularly important at the time of production due to the fact that this artefact c117AD -211AD as it appears, geographically at the then 'end of the known world' (limit of the Roman Empire (the empire of man)) at the time of it's production) The above indicating that the artefact was produced in the reign of Hadrian; (as Ignatius was condemned by the prior emperor Trajan during his purge of the Christians) and perhaps buried in the reign of Septimius Severus c208-11 AD (As Severus, like Trajan persecuted the Christians. (raising the possibility that Severus was poisoned in Britain as reflected in an accelerated condition of Gout which led to his death in Britain in 211AD)) (copyright) (Severus had defeated the (perhaps 'Christian') British Legions in Gaul in 198AD)This artefact, when viewed in the context of these words, is thus the strongest indicator of the existence of Ignatius , his method of execution, and date of execution. Also it is testament to the significance of the event and its' immediate and far reaching geographical impact. Paradoxically spread rapidly and far by Roman roads and systems of communication and by the large number in the Roman Colosseum which viewed St.Ignatius execution, (and to whom he preached on the way to his execution, and the practice of making and selling souvenirs at such events. Originally the artefact purportedly made to mock Ignatius, but in reality serving to deify him. Possibly indicating that the circuitous route of Ignatius' journey to Rome from Antioch might have been a 'promotional tour' for the event of his execution.) Also and in contradistinction to the interpretation of Romans in Britain as feeding barbarians to the lions, (as was espoused by academics (see the journal 'Britannia' 2021) ("At Death's Door: A Scene of Damnatio ad Bestias on a Key Handle from Leicester 'Britannia 9 Aug 2021") and News media and in international museums such as the Metropolitan etc) it is rather a symbol Christianity itself and of the toleration of Christianity by the Romans - and in particular Hadrian. (who may have been converted by Ignatius) - although it's demise might have come at the hands of Septimius Severus (208-211 in britain) This sale is for the important copyright of the idea that the copper alloy artefact found at a Roman building in Leicester UK, as shown above is in fact a Christian icon of St. Ignatius who was eaten by lions c117AD and thus the artifact is evidence that the event was (by definition) one of the prime drivers of the spread of 'Christianity' throughout the Roman empire. It is thus the first depiction of St Ignatius. Thus the reproduction of the description of the image of the artifact in this context is copyright.as of 04/july/2024; 08.58 am. and at the time of this listing on ebay.Whosoever purchases it will need the financial substance to defend the copyright.'St. Ignatius was sentenced to death in the Roman Colosseum, to be eaten by lions. He went joyfully to his death around the year 110, with the name of Jesus on his lips and in his heart.In his letter to the Romans, Saint Ignatius wrote: "Allow me to become food for the wild beasts, through whose means it will be granted me to reach God. I am the wheat of God, and am ground by the teeth of the wild beasts, that I may be found the pure bread of Christ.' This icon depicts his willing martyrdom in the arena.It would have been a very powerful representation of 'Christianity' in Britain (and from there to the rest of the world), from the time of it's production.The building where it was found may have been sacked by none-christian (pagan) barbarians or indeed by Septimius Severus (208-211 in Britain) who persecuted Christians. Hence it was left (and found) on it's own as a symbol of defiance and of Christianity , which has been resurrected. This isolation within it's context was clearly observed and reported by the archaeologists who found it. Indeed it might well have thus originally come from Rome.(Highly likely evidence of the sack of Leicester by Angles (who worshipped Odin and Isis (as seen in our other listing of a 480 idol) and the establishment of Mercia.) or perhaps more likely a similar earlier event such as the rebellions of the 2nd century led by the Brigantes as described in Wikipedia or indeed by Septimius Severus, who persecuted 'Christians' when he arrived in Britain in 208.From WikipediaSuppressing rebels in Britain[edit]The Historia Augusta reports that when Hadrian became emperor, he was confronted with a series of rebellions across the empire, which included Britain where "the Britons could not be kept under Roman control".[17] Sheppard Frere puts the Brigantes at the center of the rebellion in Britain, who had close ties to the Selgovae and the Novantae, in southern Caledonia. Frere notes we lack many of the details of this insurrection, but an inscription from Jarrow and commemorative coins issued in 119 attest to Falco's supposed success in crushing the revolt.[18] A reference by the orator Fronto to many soldiers being killed in Britannia under Hadrian's rule has been suggested as indicating that the victory was hard-won. However, Fronto may have been referring to a different conflict.copyright as of 04/july/2024; 08.58 am Peter Reynolds(so other previous interpretations of the artefact are in essence and interpretation, wrong) This sale only includes an A 4 Sheet of paper with the above written on, and appropriately signed; and the new owner will own the copyright of the idea and all the words herein.(and does not include the idol shown in the above picture or the picture of St Ignatius.) Note also the artefact could have been attached to a crucifix as opposed to a 'key' as previously described (copyright)NB the time of this icon might relate to the 'lost legion' IX Hispania, perhaps lost in the same event of its' demise to the Brigantes. All the above perhaps supporting the contention that the artefact was actually produced prior to Ignatius' execution, and for sale as a memento at the amphitheatre or colosseum where it happened. Subsequently brought to Britain soon after. (copyright) Not beyond possibility that in converting its owner to christianity, it was brought to Britain in an attempt to flee the barbarity of Rome and Trajan's persecution. Perhaps that's also why Hadrian came to Britain and why he built Hadrian's wall. (to keep pagans out). To provide an enclave for Christianity as far away from Rome as possible. (copyright) Possibly the artefact itself related to and coming to Britain with the remains of Ignatius. Possibly the iron to which it was attached - the shackles of Ignatius. (all the above being copyright). The makings of an epic film, book, song, music, media etc. Please note, not to press the Buy It Now in the EU as we are not registered for VAT in any country in the EU, (and monies will be taken directly from your bank account) and also be aware that in the EU ebay stipulate that buyers are liable for all costs related to import. I am guessing that one would not have to pay import duties on a copyright. Track Page Views With Auctiva's Counter
