EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Temple in honour of the Emperor Augustus built by the people of Roman Gaul in Lugdunum (Lyon), during the 4th Century. The intricate details and grandeur depicted in this print transport us back to a time when religion and architecture played significant roles in society. The temple stands tall, an awe-inspiring testament to Roman power and influence. Its majestic columns reach towards the heavens, symbolizing strength and stability. Atop its roof, statues of revered emperors stand proudly, reminding worshippers of their divine rulers. The scene is filled with worshippers engaging in religious rituals; some offer sacrifices while others bow their heads in prayer. Animals are present too, perhaps awaiting their turn for sacrifice or representing spiritual symbolism within these ancient traditions. As we delve into this image's rich historical context, it becomes evident that this temple was not only a place of worship but also a symbol of unity among the Gauls under Roman rule. It served as a reminder that despite cultural differences, they were all part of one vast empire. Through this engraving from French School's 19th-century collection, we gain insight into Lyon's past glory as Lugdunum - an important city within the Roman Empire. This artwork invites us to appreciate both the architectural marvels crafted by human hands and the profound impact religion had on shaping societies throughout history.
