La Piscina Mirabilis, monumento archeologico sito nel comune di Bacoli, costituisce una delle opere architettoniche più sorprendenti dell’età romana. Si tratta della più grande cisterna di acqua potabile mai costruita, con funzione di approvvigionamento per la flotta romana, la Classis Misenensis divenuta Classis Praetoria Misenensis Pia Vindex della Marina Militare, di stanza al porto di Miseno, sul lato nord-ovest del Golfo di Napoli. Interamente scavata nel tufo, è larga 72x25 m e profonda 15, con una capacità di 12.000 mc. È ricoperta da una volta a botte sostenuta da 48 enormi pilastri cruciformi, disposti su quattro file, a formare cinque navate.Nella navata centrale, è collocata una piscina limaria di 20x5 metri, profonda 1,10 metri, una vasca funzionale allo svuotamento e alla pulizia periodica della cisterna. La cisterna (il nome attuale le fu attribuito nel tardo Seicento) costituiva il serbatoio terminale dell’acquedotto augusteo o “Aqua Augusta” che, dalle sorgenti avellinesi di Serino, attraverso un tragitto lungo quasi 100 km, portava l’acqua a Napoli, nei Campi Flegrei ed in molte altre località dell’agro campano.
The Mirabilis Pool, an archaeological monument located in the municipality of Bacoli, is one of the most surprising architectural works of the Roman age. It is the largest drinking water tank ever built, with a supply function for the Roman fleet, the Classis Misenensis which became Classis Praetoria Misenensis Pia Vindex of the Navy, stationed at the port of Miseno, on the north-west side of the Gulf of Naples. . Entirely excavated in the tuff, it is 72x25 m wide and 15 m deep, with a capacity of 12,000 cubic meters. It is covered by a barrel vault supported by 48 enormous cruciform pillars, arranged in four rows, to form five naves. periodic cleaning of the tank. The cistern (the current name was attributed to it in the late seventeenth century) was the terminal reservoir of the Augustan aqueduct or "Aqua Augusta" which, from the Avellino springs of Serino, through a journey of almost 100 km, brought water to Naples, in the Campi Flegrei and in many other places in the Campania countryside.
Aldham, Essex – St Margaret and St Catherine
The church is situated in Aldham, Essex which is about 6.5 miles from Colchester, the nearest large town.
Built in 1855, it replaced an older Medieval church situated about a mile away that was demolished a year earlier.
Much of the building materials come from the older church, water basin (Piscina), Porch timbers, Doors and some of the Pews were built using the wood from the old pews. With the addition of a West Tower and Northwest Vestry, new materials (such as Bath Stone) were used in this construction.
The Architect was Edward Charles Hakewill, who was responsible for designing St John of Jerusalem in South Hackney and St James in Clapton both London churches as well as the restoration of a number of Suffolk churches.
The East window, dedicated to Philip Morant, who was a rector from 1745-1770, also Essex Historian and the Chancel North window were designed by Ward and Hughes.
It is possible that the dedication of St Margaret and St Catherine refers only to the bells and not to an earlier dedication, records do not show this fact.
There are in the graveyard, two Commonwealth War Graves plus two other gravestones of Soldiers that died in WWI.
This will be the final posting from this wonderful church.

Otima Semana Pra todos!
Es una imagen agradable, si estamos viviendo el verano caluroso que hemos tenido estos últimos días.
Muchas veces nos quejamos, que hace mucho calor, después viene el invierno y nuestras quejas son por el frío. Nos cuesta aceptar que el clima como la vida es un ciclo que hay que vivir como se da cada día, dar gracias por la vida por lo que recibimos, y nos daremos cuenta que somos privilegiados, los regalones de Dios... miremos un poco más allá a nuestro rededor, y veremos cuanta falta hace nuestro amor... nuestra solidaridad... nuestra entrega...como los que más necesitan, agradecen más, porque valoran sus regalos, sus momentos.
Digamos gracias cada día y empecemos con una sonrisa a la vida.
