Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

1. Title: Nero's Octagon House in Olympia, Greece: A Glimpse into Ancient Roman History 2.. Step back in time to the first century A.D. and join us on a journey to the ancient city of Olympia in Greece, where the grandeur of the Roman Empire comes alive through the ruins of Nero's Octagon House. This remarkable edifice, recognized as a temporary residence for the infamous Roman Emperor Nero during his participation in the Olympic Games of 65 A.D., stands as a testament to the architectural prowess and historical significance of the Roman Period. Nero, the fifth Roman Emperor, was known for his love of arts, music, and athletics. His presence at the Olympic Games in Olympia was not only a political move to strengthen his relationship with the Greek population but also a personal interest in the athletic competitions. The Octagon House, with its unique octagonal shape and impressive architecture, was built specifically for his stay. The house, which showcases a blend of Greek and Roman architectural influences, features a central courtyard surrounded by eight equal sides, creating an open and airy living space. The intricate details of the mosaics, columns, and frescoes that once adorned the walls have long since faded, but the ruins still evoke a sense of awe and wonder. As we explore the remnants of this ancient structure, we are transported back to a time when the Roman Empire stretched across Europe, and the Olympic Games brought together athletes and spectators from all corners of the known world. The Octagon House in Olympia serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural exchange that took place during this period, making it an essential piece of the broader historical narrative. Join us as we continue to uncover the stories and secrets hidden within the ruins of the ancient world, and let the past come alive through the lens of history and archaeology.
