EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of the Sarcophagus of a wine-merchant, a remarkable piece of Roman art. Located in the Church of Santa Maria della Piazza in Ancona, Italy, this ancient artifact was proudly exhibited at the prestigious Mostra Augustea held in Rome in 1938. The sarcophagus itself is an architectural marvel, adorned with intricate arches and building elements that showcase the mastery of Roman craftsmanship. Standing tall amidst its surroundings, it exudes an aura of grandeur and elegance. At its center stands a column, symbolizing strength and stability. The detailed carvings depict scenes from daily life during ancient times - one can almost imagine witnessing a bustling marketplace filled with merchants selling their wares. A prominent figure on this sarcophagus is that of a wine seller, his presence evoking images of conviviality and celebration. Dressed in period-specific attire, he represents not only his vocation but also serves as a reminder of how fashion has evolved over centuries. Dating back to the III-IV century AD, this artwork provides us with valuable insights into ancient civilization. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage left behind by our predecessors. Captured through Alinari's lens in 1938, this photograph allows us to appreciate both the timeless beauty and historical significance encapsulated within this extraordinary work of art. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back to an era long gone yet forever preserved through these enduring masterpieces from Europe's past civilizations.
