EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Roman sacrificial paraphernalia" takes us back to the ancient world of Rome. The print showcases various objects used in Roman religious rituals and sacrifices. In the center of the composition, we see a bull prepared for sacrifice, captured from a bas-relief owned by Bartolomeo Cavaceppi. Surrounding it are other significant items: a vessel with a swan's neck used to draw water for sacrifices, bagpipes or flutes played during these sacred ceremonies (from Casa Pellavicini), a patera or bowl found in the Temple of Jupiter, a vase specifically designed for sacrifices, and finally, an intriguing cesta mistica or mystical basket depicted on another bas-relief in the Vatican. Created by Pietro Ruga through copperplate engraving after an illustration by Lorenzo Rocceggiani as part of his collection "100 Plates of Costumes Religious, Civil and Military of the Ancient Egyptians, Etruscans Greeks and Romans" this piece offers valuable insights into Roman culture during that era. The intricate details showcased in this print highlight both its decorative value and historical significance. It serves as an excellent addition to any interior design setting while also providing viewers with glimpses into ancient religious practices. This 19th-century artwork transports us back to antiquity and invites contemplation about pagan traditions and polytheistic beliefs that were once prevalent in Roman society.
