EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Recent Excavations in Rome, Discovery of the House of the Vestal Virgins" takes us back to 19th century Italy and offers a glimpse into the world of ancient archaeology. The image showcases a general view of the excavation site, revealing the remarkable findings that have been unearthed. In this scene, we are transported to Rome's famous Palace of Caesars where fragments of history come alive. The marble pavement shines brightly as it stretches across a large hall, leading our eyes towards inscriptions and tablets scattered throughout. These artifacts provide valuable insights into the lives and rituals of the revered Vestal Virgins. As we explore further, we catch glimpses of vestals' bedchambers and an atrium adorned with intricate details. This discovery not only sheds light on Roman architecture but also deepens our understanding of their religious practices. The significance of this find cannot be overstated; it is like peering through a time portal into ancient Rome itself. With each detail meticulously captured by English School artists in 1883 for The Graphic publication, this engraving transports us back centuries ago when these excavations were still fresh. For lovers of history and archaeology alike, this print serves as a window into Europe's rich past while reminding us how much there is yet to discover about our shared human heritage.
