I really don't know the status of the copyright for the picture I submitted. It belongs to Adolph Bruderhausen. I don't know whether he is alive or dead, whether he copyrighted the picture as a company or as an individual. It appears that he copyrighted it as an individual. There are several other wonder drawings of Roman buildings in restored state in the source book, The Forum and the Palatine by Christian Huelsen. Californicus 03:58, 9 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

When I said 'belongs to,' I spoke in the present tense. Actually, I don't know whether the copyright is still in force or has passed into public domain. Californicus 04:00, 9 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

The source book for the picture of the Basilica Julia was published in 1928, but copyrighted in 1927 by Adolph Bruderhausen. I did a search for his name on familysearch.org and found only a handful of Bruderhausens in the US--all in New York state where the book was published. There is one Adolf Bruderhausen who lived 26 Oct 1880 to August 1962. Fifty years plus 1962 is 2002. The new copyright laws didn't come into affect until 2004, so this picture is public domain IF I have the right Adolf/Adolph Bruderhausen. Perhaps, he spelled his name Adolph to avoid the similarity with Adolf Hitler. Californicus 04:31, 9 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Last dated reference to Basilica Julia?

edit

What happened to Basilica Julia? The last dated reference is AD 283 when it was rebuilt. It might be likely that it may have been destroyed in the various sackings of Rome or been dismantled to be used for building materials through the years. --TGC55 (talk) 09:08, 19 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
