EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic "Head of the emperor Lucius Verus" on display at the Museum in Olympia, Greece. Belonging to the Severan Period during the Imperial Period of Roman Art, this artifact represents a significant chapter in Europe's ancient civilization. The photograph was taken around 1920-1930 and captures every intricate detail of this remarkable artwork dating back to 161-169 AD. The head is adorned with a crown and jewelry, symbolizing not only its artistic beauty but also its association with applied arts and crafts. Lucius Verus himself was a prominent political figure whose social status resonated throughout society and politics during his time as emperor. This image serves as a powerful reminder of his reign and influence over the Roman Empire. As we delve into history, it becomes evident that this piece holds immense historical value. It sheds light on the laurel wreath worn by emperors, signifying nobility and their elevated position within society. Moreover, it offers insight into possessions owned by individuals from noble backgrounds during ancient times. Alinari Fratelli has masterfully captured this extraordinary work of art through their lens, allowing us to appreciate its grandeur even today. While we admire its aesthetic appeal, let us also acknowledge its significance in unraveling the rich tapestry of our past - a testament to human creativity and cultural heritage.
