[16] The Guinness World Record for the largest chocolate Easter egg sculpture was awarded to Guylian in March 2005. In celebration of Easter traditions and the renovation of Sint-Niklaas market square the record-breaking egg was constructed with support from metal scaffolding and wooden panels. [23] Twenty-six Guylian chocolatiers built the egg over eight days using around 50,000 Seashell Bars worth of Guylian chocolate totalling 1,950 kilograms (4,300 lb). [24] The sculpture reached 8.32 metres (27.3 ft) tall and 6.39 metres (21.0 ft) wide and held the record until 2011 when a 10 metres (33 ft) tall egg was built in Italy.

Guylian's Stephen Candries comments, “The white and dark chocolate unique intertwining like the lives of the two lovers, an immortal tale of romance that is retold in every marbled seashell today.” [10] Guylian G-Stamp Company icon edit Cicero, ad Atti. vi. 2, ad Q.

[20] On the charge of maiestas ( high treason) incurred by having left his province for Egypt without the consent of the Senate and in defiance of the Sibylline Books, Gabinius was acquitted. It was said that the judges were bribed, and even Cicero, an enemy of Gabinius, was persuaded by Pompey to say as little as he could. On the second charge, that of repetundae (extortion during the administration of his province), with special reference to the 10,000 talents paid by Ptolemy XII for his restoration, he was found guilty, in spite of evidence offered on his behalf by Pompey and witnesses from Alexandria and the eloquence of Cicero, who had been induced to plead his cause. Nothing but Cicero's wish to do a favour to Pompey could have induced him to take on the task. Commentators hint that the half-heartedness of Cicero's defence contributed to Gabinius's condemnation. The third charge, that of ambitus (illegalities committed during his canvassing for the consulship), was consequently dropped. Gabinius went into exile and his property was confiscated. In 61 BC, as praetor, tried to win public favour by providing games on a scale of unusual splendour. In 59 BC, Gabinius ran for one of the consulships for 58 and managed to get himself elected, although not without the suspicion of bribery. He was elected consul alongside Lucius Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus, Caesar's father-in-law. During his term of office he aided Publius Clodius Pulcher in bringing about the exile of Marcus Tullius Cicero. Gabinius also managed to secure Syria as his proconsular province.
