EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable relief depicting the Severan Arch at Leptis Magna, showcased in all its glory at the Mostra Augustea of 1937-1938 in Rome. Now residing within the hallowed halls of the Museum of Roman Civilization, this high relief Roman artwork stands as a testament to Europe's ancient civilization. The intricate details etched into this masterpiece transport us back to an era long gone. The arch itself, adorned with ornate carvings and majestic columns, serves as a symbol of power and grandeur. It is truly awe-inspiring to witness such craftsmanship that has withstood the test of time. Intriguingly captured in this print are military elements surrounding the arch - a military truck, arms, armor, and various military equipment. These artifacts provide insight into ancient military life; they evoke images of soldiers donning their uniforms and preparing for battle. This snapshot offers glimpses into their world - one filled with duty, honor, and sacrifice. The presence of individuals dressed in period costumes adds depth to this scene from ancient society. Their attire reflects social rapport while hinting at political affiliations during that time. We can almost imagine them engaging in conversations about matters both trivial and consequential against the backdrop of this magnificent architectural marvel. Photographed by Anderson in 1941 but showcasing artwork dating back to approximately 193-217 AD. , this image not only preserves history but also invites us on a journey through time. It reminds us that art transcends generations; it connects us to our past while shaping our present understanding. As we gaze upon this striking print from Alinari's collection, we cannot help but marvel at how something so tangible can bridge gaps between civilizations separated by centuries – reminding us that human creativity knows no bounds.
