EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the religious costumes of antiquity, offering a glimpse into the sacred rituals and beliefs of ancient civilizations. The image features a diverse array of individuals, each representing an important role in their respective religious practices. Starting from left to right, we see a Greek priest responsible for conducting sacrifices. His solemn expression and intricate attire reflect his dedication to connecting with the divine through these ancient rituals. Next is a Vestal Virgin priestess of Vesta in Roman religion, embodying purity and devotion as she tends to the eternal flame that symbolizes the hearth of Rome. In the center stands a Great Pontiff, known as Pontifex Maximus, who holds one of the highest positions within the College of Pontiffs in ancient Rome. Adorned in regal garments and wearing an authoritative expression, he personifies power and spiritual leadership. To his right are two Roman priests: a popa and a flamino (flamen). The popa serves as an assistant to other priests during ceremonies while the flamino is dedicated solely to worshiping one specific deity among fifteen officially recognized by the Roman Republic. This engraving provides us with valuable insight into how these religious figures dressed during this era. It reminds us that throughout history, faith has played an integral role in shaping societies worldwide.
