EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate relief on the northern side of the Arch of Constantine in Rome. The central frieze depicts Emperor Constantine himself, standing front and center, engaging in an act of "liberalitas" on January 1,313. In this scene, we witness the emperor bestowing his generosity upon his court and a jubilant crowd as they receive their "congiario". Above this central scene are the striking "Hadrian Tondos" circular artworks showcasing exquisite craftsmanship. These tondos add an element of grandeur to the overall composition, drawing our attention upward towards their detailed beauty. Beneath the main focal point lie two divine figures that further enhance the significance and religious undertones of this artwork. Their presence adds depth to both its historical and spiritual context. Dating back to approximately 315 AD, this relief is a remarkable example of Roman art from the Imperial Period. It serves as a testament to ancient civilization's rich history and cultural heritage. The photograph itself was taken around 1890 by Anderson from Alinari, capturing not just a moment frozen in time but also preserving an invaluable piece of European history for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back through time—immersing ourselves in an era where emperors ruled with authority while simultaneously celebrating their benevolence towards their subjects. This print allows us to marvel at both its artistic mastery and its ability to convey stories that transcend centuries.
