EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of two ancient Roman emperors, Severus Alexander and Gordian III. Preserved in the Museum of Villa Albani in Rome, these busts stand as a testament to the grandeur and power of the Severan period. The intricate details of their hairdos and hairstyles reveal not only their fashion choices but also provide insights into the societal norms of that era. The carefully crafted clothing draped over their shoulders adds an air of regality to their noble stature. As one gazes into their eyes, it is impossible not to feel a connection with these iconic figures from history. Their piercing gaze seems to hold secrets from centuries past, offering a glimpse into the lives they led during this pivotal time in Europe's ancient civilization. These powerful portraits capture more than just physical appearances; they convey political influence and social status. As key figures within the Roman Empire, Severus Alexander and Gordian III played significant roles in shaping society and politics during this period. Dating back to 222-235 AD, these busts serve as reminders of an empire long gone but never forgotten. They symbolize strength, leadership, and ambition - qualities that were revered by Romans throughout history. Photographed around 1890 by Anderson from Alinari, this print transports us back in time to witness firsthand the artistry that defined Roman culture. It invites us to explore our fascination with famous historical figures while appreciating the rich tapestry woven by those who came before us.
