The Reign of Jupiter. Culture: Northern French. Dimensions: Overall (confirmed): H. 14 7/8 x W. 19 x D. 1 1/2 in. (37.8 x 48.3 x 3.8 cm). Date: ca. 1550-70.This sophisticated relief, adroitly carved and freighted with meaning, reflects the French Renaissance in all its charm and mystery. Six discrete scenes fill the rectangular marble slab, three above and three below. Jupiter occupies the prime position at top center. Accompanied by his eagle, he sits on a rocky ledge, holding -- unusually for this Roman god -- a scepter and a book. From his blocky throne emerge three streams, which seemingly but not physically flow down into a disklike image of a fountain in a forest. Elaborately decorated, this watery scene features dolphins supporting a basin, from which rises an obelisk. The setting is ideal, rather than untamed nature or a garden. One spots a palm tree as well as deciduous trees. To Jupiter's right, the figure of the god Mercury with a carefully delineated caduceus flies toward

The French colonial administration built Hoa Lo Prison in 1896. Originally intended to hold 450 prisoners, by the 1930s the number of detainees had soared to almost 2,000, the great majority political prisoners. Hoa Lo Prison achieved notoriety during the Second Indochina War as a place of incarceration for downed US pilots, who ironically nicknamed the prison the Hanoi Hilton’. American prisoners of war held at Hoa Lo between 1964 and 1973 include Pete Peterson, who would later become the first US Ambassador to the Socialist Republic of Vietnam after the two countries established diplomatic relations in 1995; and John McCain, currently senior Republican Senator for Arizona and a recent presidential candidate, who was shot down over Hanoi in October, 1967.
