EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, transporting us back to the ancient era of Roman soldiers on the Danube. The image showcases these formidable warriors stowing their packs in galleys, preparing for an arduous journey along the majestic river. But what makes this photo even more remarkable is its connection to history itself. It features a plaster mold of the renowned Trajan Column, commissioned by Napoleon III in 1860. Now residing at the Museo della Civilt Romana in Rome, this artifact serves as a tangible link between two powerful empires separated by centuries. The photograph was taken in 1938, capturing not only the military and defensive aspects of Roman life but also providing insight into their architecture and structures such as blockhouses. We see soldiers dressed in period costumes that reflect fashion and clothing from that ancient time. The landscape surrounding them is dominated by river courses, emphasizing how crucial waterways were for transportation during those times. The galley depicted here symbolizes both scene and method of transportation utilized by Romans throughout their vast empire. As we delve deeper into this image, it becomes evident that it represents more than just a historical snapshot; it encapsulates an entire epoch - one filled with rich stories of conquests, triumphs, and cultural exchanges across Europe during the first and second millennium A. D. Photographed by Alinari Fratelli - masters of capturing art through lenses - this print beautifully combines relief arts with handicrafts from the nineteenth century. Its presence reminds us how art can transcend time while preserving our collective heritage for generations to come.
