EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Roman Augers (litho)" takes us back to ancient Rome, offering a glimpse into the intriguing world of Roman auguries and auspices. The image showcases a group of male officials, dressed in traditional robes and adorned with ornate accessories, engaged in their sacred duties. The priests are depicted surrounding a cage filled with birds, which were believed to possess divine powers and could foretell the future through their behavior or flight patterns. As they observe the birds' movements, laughter fills the air, perhaps indicating an auspicious omen that brings joy and relief to these religious figures. This artwork is part of The Stapleton Collection, housed within a private collection but made accessible for all to appreciate. Created by an English School artist during the 19th century, this lithograph offers valuable insights into ancient Roman religious practices. The engraving beautifully captures not only the intricate details of each figure's attire but also their expressions and gestures as they perform their sacred rituals. It serves as a testament to the significance placed on religion within Roman society during that time. "Birds" play a central role in this composition; however, it is important to note that this caption does not mention any commercial use associated with Bridgeman Images or Fine Art Finder. Instead, it focuses solely on describing the historical context and artistic value of this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder's collection.
