View of Forum Romanum with the temple of Saturn and the temple of Vespasian and Titus.
The cult of the god Saturn in Rome is quite old - the temple remains are in comparison quite new (as an ancient Roman temple goes). The first temple in this spot was built around 497 B.C. These columns on the other hand dates to a temple building from 360-380 A.D. when the previous building had been destroyed by a fire. Much of this temple is built with parts from older buildings - but the columns are made in the style of late Antiquity, in white Thasian marble.
The two columns (it's actually three, but the third one is hidden from view) with a bit frieze remaining is the temple of emperor Vespasian and his son Titus. It was an expression of the Roman imperial cult - the temple was started by Titus after the death of his father, and then after Titus' death it was continued by his brother Domitian and finished some time around 87 A.D.

Excerpt from heritageburlington.ca:
Built in 1894.
A fine, very well preserved example of a one-and-a-half storey brick structure with an offset front-gabled wing and a side wing with a centre gable. The latter has intricate relief bargeboard, illustrated in the "Gables of Burlington" Poster, which forms an arch above an arched window. The offset gable has another relief pattern. The porch roof has good moulded frieze and brackets. The windows have brick voussoirs with eyebrow details. A side bay window has a small mansard-style roof and brackets.

Some of the friezes inside the museum that were recovered from the site and recreated are quite remarkable
Once a common sight on houses there is still quite a lot of wrought iron frieze around the Fitzroy area!!
In the center of Le Douhet, a village just 12 kms north east of Saintes, is Saint Martial, a 12th century structure, that had to be stabilized by buttresses within the 15th century, when a steeple was built.
The western facade is richly decorated with friezes and archivolts over the portal and the flanking blind arches. There are as well some remarkable corbels. Here is a mouth puller, presenting his ivories.

Agricultural and National Industrial Histories of Canada by Joseph Ernest Gause:
Sculptural frieze: Bas-relief carved in Queenston limestone blocks as an integrated architectural element on the front façade of the former Hamilton-Wentworth County Court building. The friezes depict the agricultural and national industrial histories of Canada.
...of the Reverend Roger Ashton, who died in March 1677.
This rather macabre detail embellishes the bottom of an elaborate frieze in St Germanus Church, Rame, Cornwall dedicated to the reverend and his wife Margaret, who died in the same year. The detail at the top of the frieze depicts a cherubic babies face, portraying, I suppose, the journey from birth to death.

The Bull has been and continues to be a strong symbol and a living icon in our lives. Those that know them revere them for their fertile nature. They will graze and ruminate and add fertility to the ground they adorn. One bull can sire a heard and not many bulls see great age as only the chosen are kept and they need to fulfil a purpose. King for the day and King for the year have not as many days and years as others and yet who would be the bull not chosen? I would if that is my choice, many though want to be Top Dog and Chief Bull.
This magnificent Bull in Bo’ness had me thinking of Pictish Art and their Symbol Stones. Their animal symbols survive to this day where their language is now none existent. The wonderfully evocative decorated stones are found at Pictish Sites with the striking lines flowing and curling like waves of energy form both the outlines and internal structure of the subjects. At Burghead in Moray several Bull symbols were found leading some to believe that the Bull was a symbol venerated here, maybe a marker not unlike those later used in Heraldry to tell a story of identity that is linked to landscape and to those who control it. The notion of totems as good luck and potent identifying markers of person and of people, of individual and of tribe to set a motif of identity within this material world and an icon within all spiritual realms too.
This particular carved stone is displayed in London in The British Museum and thought so highly of that a replica cast is held in Edinburgh at The National Museums Scotland. This Bull is also incorporated into the current Logo for The Moray Society Elgin Museum. There is a cast in The Elgin Museum amongst other Pictish Symbol Stones. The symbol stones from Burghead are numbered 1-6 and this one is catalogued as,
Burghead 5, Moray, Pictish symbol stone
Measurements: 0.53m, W 0.53m, D 0.08m
Stone type: sandstone
Place of discovery: NJ c 109 691
Present location: British Museum, London (1861.10-24.1) (cast in Elgin Museum)
Evidence for discovery: one of many bull carvings said to have been found during quarrying of the wall of the upper citadel to find building stones from around 1800 onwards, of which six have survived (Macdonald 1862). This stone was found sometime before 1809, when it was exhibited at a meeting of the Society of Antiquaries of London, and it was in private hands in London for many years before being presented to the British Museum.
Present condition: good.
Description
The triangular shape of this slab may indicate the preferred form for these bull stones from Burghead. One broad face is incised with the most ferocious image of a bull to have survived, pacing angrily towards the right with his head lowered far down and his tail swishing across his rump.
Date: seventh century.
This is a cast of a stone found at Burghead in Moray. It is one of a number of stones carved with bull symbols, found in and around the site of the Pictish fortress at Burghead. They date from between 500 and 800.
Like the other stones, the bull is naturalistically depicted, with scrolls defining the joints where the limbs meet the body.
The large fort at Burghead was a major Pictish settlement. A number of carvings have been found there, many depicting bulls. Various theories have been put forward to explain their significance, including religious, territorial emblems or clan totems.
“Interpretation of the stones' original role has varied. Some scholars have suggested they were displayed on the fort's ramparts as symbols of power; others have seen them as having a votive role in a frieze as part of a pagan fertility cult; while others argue they were standing stones lining a processional route through the ramparts, a role suggested by their likely original kite-shaped form.”

Complete frieze inscription:
Άλλοι άρχοντες τίμησαν νεκρούς άνδρες των οποίων η εργασία ήταν ασύμφορη, αλλά ο έχων την εξουσία Ιουστινιανός με ευλάβεια τιμά με ένα θαυμάσιο οίκημα τον υπηρέτη του Χριστού, το Σέργιο τον οποίο όχι η φλεγόμενη ανάσα φωτιάς ,ούτε το σπαθί , ούτε καμιά άλλη επιβολή μαρτυρίων τον ενόχλησε αλλά που άντεξε να σκοτωθεί για χάρη του Χριστού, του Θεού, κερδίζοντας με το αίμα του τον παράδεισο για σπίτι του. Είθε αυτός σε όλα τα θέματα να φυλά το ρόλο του βασιλήος ακοιμήτοιο και να αυξήσει τη δύναμη του Θεού στέφθηκε η Θεοδώρα της οποίας το μυαλό κοσμείται με ευλάβεια και βρίσκεται σε συνεχή μόχθο με αφειδείς προσπάθειες για να θρέψει τον άπορο.
Other sovereigns have honored dead men whose labor was unprofitable, but our sceptered Justinian, fostering piety, honors with a splendid abode the Servant of Christ, Begetter of all things, Sergius; whom not the burning breath of fire, nor the sword, nor any other constraint of torments disturbed; but who endured to be slain for the sake of Christ, the God, gaining by his blood heaven as his home. May he in all things guard the rule of the sleepless sovereign and increase the power of the God-crowned Theodora whose mind is adorned with piety, whose constant toil lies in unsparing efforts to nourish the destitute.
