Solomon Tophet (deceased)
Solomon Tophet (1888-1956) was a noted magician of the 1920s and 1930s. He was also a respected archaeologist and anthropologist who performed extensive research in the Middle East and North Africa. He lived and worked primarily in the United States until the 1930s, when he moved to Italy.
Solomon Tophet left the United States in 1930 as a result of the Fire Magic Wars. He traveled extensively in Europe, finally settling in Rome as a base of operations for his archaeological expeditions. In 1932 Solomon Tophet married Contessa Ismaila Rossi of Sicily, who later gave birth to their only son, Alexander Tophet. The couple later had four daughters.
Solomon Tophet died in 1956 and is buried on the island of Filicudi.
