The Genius was a protection spirit,
analogous to the guardian angels invoked by the Church of Rome. The belief in
such spirits existed in Greece and at Rome. The Greeks called them Daemons, and
appear to have believed in them from the earliest times, though Homer does not
mention them. Hesiod says that the Daemons were 30,000 in number, and that they
dwelled on earth unseen by mortals, as the ministers of Zeus, and as the
guardians of men and justice. He further conceives them to be the souls of the
righteous men who lived in the golden age of the world. The Greek philosophers
took up this idea, and developed a complete theory of daemons. Thus we read in
Plato, that daemons are assinged to men at the moment of their birth, that they
accompany men through life, and after death conduct their souls to Hades.
Pindar, in several passages of the spirit watching over the fate of man from the
hour of his birth. The daemons are further described as ministers and companions
of the gods, who carry the prayers of men to the gods, and the gifts of the gods
to men, and accordingly float in immense numbers in the space between heaven and
earth. There was also a distinct class of daemons, who were exclusively the
ministers of the gods.



The Romans seem to have received their notions respecting the genii from the
Etruscans, though the name Genius itself is Latin (it is connected with gi-gn-o,
gen-ui, and equivalent in meaning to generator or father). The genii of the
Romans are the powers which produce life (dii genitales), and accompany man
through it as his second or spiritual self. They were further not confined to
man, but every living being, animal as well as man, and every place had its
genius. Every human being at his birth obtained (sortitur) a genius, who he
worshipped as sanctus et sanctissimus deus, especially on his birthday, with
libations of wine, incense, and garlands of flowers. The bridal bed was sacred
to the genius, on account of his connection with generation, and the bed itself
was called lectus genialis. On other merry occasions, also , sacrifices were
offered to the genius, and to indulge in merriment was not unfrequently
expressed by genio indulgere, genium curare, or placarae. The whole body of the
Roman people had its own genius, who is often seen represented on coins of
Hadrian and Trajan. He was worshipped on sad as well as joyous occasions; thus,
sacrifices were offered to him at the beginning of the 2nd year of the war with
Hannibal. The genii are usually represented in works of art as winged beings.
The genius of a place appears in the form of a serpent eating fruit placed
before him.

 





Maximinus II (Latin: Gaius Valerius Galerius
Maximinus Daia Augustus; 20 November c. 270 - July or August 313), also known as
Maximinus Daia or Maximinus Daza, was Roman Emperor from 308 to 313. He became
embroiled in the Civil wars of the Tetrarchy between rival claimants for control
of the empire, in which he was defeated by Licinius. A committed pagan, he
engaged in one of the last persecutions of Christians.He was born of Dacian
peasant stock to the sister of the emperor Galerius near their family lands
around Felix Romuliana, a rural area then in the Danubian region of Moesia, now
Eastern Serbia.

He rose to high distinction after joining the army.

In 305, his maternal uncle Galerius became the eastern Augustus and adopted
Maximinus, raising him to the rank of caesar (in effect, the junior eastern
Emperor), and granting him the government of Syria and Egypt.In 308, after the
elevation of Licinius to Augustus, Maximinus and Constantine were declared filii
Augustorum ("sons of the Augusti"), but Maximinus probably started styling
himself after Augustus during a campaign against the Sassanids in 310. On the
death of Galerius in 311, Maximinus divided the Eastern Empire between Licinius
and himself. When Licinius and Constantine began to make common cause, Maximinus
entered into a secret alliance with the usurper Caesar Maxentius, who controlled
Italy. He came to an open rupture with Licinius in 313; he summoned an army of
70,000 men but sustained a crushing defeat at the Battle of Tzirallum in the
neighbourhood of Heraclea Perinthus on April 30. He fled, first to Nicomedia and
afterwards to Tarsus, where he died the following August. His death was
variously ascribed "to despair, to poison, and to the divine justice".

Great addition to our home
Model: Model B with Removable Tray
Putting together took a little time but instructions included were easy for me to follow. Putting the screws in for the shelves required a little work to get then started but nothing that I would say would be a problem to do. It is very sturdy and looks great in our room we are transforming into a hangout/bar area. I can't wait to get all my accessories in to add to it and display all my nice bottles I have. Great cart for the price.

My Cart Worked Out Perfectly For Me - Update: I got a second cart
Model: Model B with Removable Tray
Delivered sooner than promised. All pieces were present. All parts were in good condition. Assembly was done by a professional who thought the product was well done and needed very few adjustments. The cart rolls smoothly, is very sturdy, is a great size, looks attractive and is perfect for my needs. I would order one of these again. Update: I did get a second cart and I am just as happy with this second one as I have been with the first one.

Notice it is not real wood!

Easy to put together. The biggest complaint is it is not real wood. It looks like it is covered with contact paper!

Looks expensive. Wheels could be better.
Model: Model B with Removable Tray
This got RAVE reviews when I wheeled it into a neighbor’s Thanksgiving celebration. The guests thought it was WAY more expensive than I paid. That said, the wheels aren’t all that great; the cart got stuck going into and out of the elevator. I had to lift the cart to get it over the track. But overall, I really like it. One caution. Read the instructions carefully so that the wine racks fit. I didn’t assemble it correctly, and it became apparent when the wine racks would not fit. But I was able to quickly disassemble the necessary sections, and reassemble them quickly.
