John Ruskin, The Stones of Venice, prosa, 1851, New York, Stati Uniti d'America. J. Wiley.
FIFTH CAPITAL. Still three sides only left, bearing three half-length statues of kings; this is the first capital which bears any inscription. In front, a king with a sword in his right hand points to a handkerchief embroidered and fringed, with a head on it, carved on the cavetto of the abacus. His name is written above, “TITUS VESPASIAN IMPERATOR” .
John Ruskin non riconosce nel capitello veneziano il velo della Veronica (vedi in VeronicaRoute 1342-1355). È un segnale interessante, simile alla errata citazione di Giacomo Leopardi, di come era stata perduta nell’Ottocento la memoria della reliquia romana.
