EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating glimpse into the religious costumes of antiquity. The image features a series of engravings depicting various priests and priestesses from ancient Greece and Rome. Starting from left to right, we see the portrait of a Greek priest, who was responsible for conducting sacrifices in their religious rituals. Next is the Great Pontiff, known as the Pontifex Maximus in ancient Rome, who held a prestigious position within the College of Pontiffs. Following him is a Vestal Virgin, an esteemed priestess dedicated to Vesta, the Roman goddess of hearth and home. Lastly, we encounter a flamen or flamingo (Roman priest), devoted solely to worshipping one god. This engraving highlights their important role as they were assigned to one of fifteen deities with official cults during the Roman Republic. The meticulous details captured in this print offer us valuable insights into how these religious figures dressed during ancient times. Their ornate garments and elaborate headpieces reflect both their status within society and their devotion to their respective faiths. Preserved by Bridgeman Images from The Holbarn Archive collection, this photograph serves as an invaluable historical record that allows us to appreciate and understand better the rich tapestry of religious practices throughout antiquity.
